The Digital Curation Centre and Digital Preservation Coalition are pleased
to announce that they will be delivering a two-day workshop to explore the
range of policies required to manage, preserve, and reuse the information
held within digital repositories over time. This event is being held in
cooperation with the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) and will be held at
Wolfson College at the University of Oxford on 3rd and 4th of July, 2006.

Developing and implementing a range of policies is vital for enabling the
effective management, discovery, and re-usability of information. This
workshop will provide concrete examples of the range and nature of the
policies required and share real-life experiences in developing,
implementing and evaluating policies through a series of case studies and
panel discussions.

Benefits of Attendance
This workshop will be of benefit to individuals and institutions that are
interested in developing, implementing, or evaluating policies to manage,
preserve, and reuse digital information held within digital repositories
over time.

Dates
This workshop will be held on Monday July 3rd and Tuesday July 4th, 2006.

Format
The event will be split over three sessions. The first will examine the
development of curation and preservation policies. The second session will
examine the implementation of curation and preservation policies. The third
session will explore some of the evaluation and review of curation and
preservation policies. In each of the sessions, speakers will identify roles
and responsibilities involved in the development, implementation or
evaluation of policies, relationships with other institutional policies and
processes, workflow issues, key policy themes, and highlight any problems
encountered.

The last session of the workshop will be a panel session comprised of
representatives from funding bodies and curation practitioners to discuss
how both can best work together to influence and integrate the various
policies that may influence data over its life-cycle.
