***Apologies for cross-posting*** DCC and DPC Joint Workshop: Policies for Long-term Curation and Preservation July 3rd-4th, 2006 Wolfson College, University of Oxford Register for this event http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/policy-2006/register/ 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.
