Hi All, I would like to draw your attention to survey of ingest tools and use cases produced by the CAIRO project. CAIRO is funded by JISC under the Repositories and Preservation Capital Programme, to develop a tool for ingesting complex collections of born-digital materials, with basic descriptive, preservation and relationship metadata, into a preservation repository. The CAIRO tools survey reviews a range of existing applications to identify ingest and metadata related applications, tools or code that could form the components of the overall Cairo tool package. The survey report is available at http://cairo.paradigm.ac.uk/projectdocs/cairo_tools_listing_pv1.pdf. The use cases describe the interactions of a range of users with the Cairo tool and the behaviour of the tool in response to those user interactions. The use cases document is available at http://cairo.paradigm.ac.uk/projectdocs/cairo_project_use_cases_pv1.pdf. The CAIRO project team would welcome and appreciate your comments and feedback. Please email them to susan.thomas at bodley.ox.ac.uk.
