The Successful Repository

Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories (APSR)

"Setting up an institutional repository is the easy part; keeping it going, in the long term, year after year, is hard. It's also not cheap. Most institutions now have a solid grasp of the theory of open access repositories, but what's the reality? What do they really cost? Can it be demonstrated that they give value for money? What are the successful business models? What are the compelling arguments in favour of building one that will attract ever-scarcer funds? How do we become important players in our institutions?"

February

Building Preservation Environments
17 Feb 2006 , Oxford Internet Institute (OII), 1 St Giles, Oxford
Moore, Reagan W.
(United Kingdom)
This talk by Dr Reagan W Moore of the San Diego Supercomputer Center also will be webcast. Abstract : Multiple projects in the US are using data grid technology to build preservation environments. The concept driving this approach is the recognition that at the point in time when new technology is being incorporated in a preservation environment, both the old and the new technology are present. The data virtualization mechanisms provided by data grids make it possible to interact simultaneously with both versions of the technology. A preservation environment based on data grid technology inherently contains the functionality needed to manage technology evolution. I will discuss the concepts used to implement data grids (data virtualization, trust virtualization, latency management, collection management, and federation management) and map the concepts onto the principles used to manage preservation environments (authenticity, integrity, and infrastructure independence).
