***Apologies for cross-posting*** Draft DCC Curation Lifecycle Model: still time to comment! The Digital Curation Centre was delighted to present the Draft DCC Curation Lifecycle Model at the 3rd International Digital Curation Conference 2007. The model provides a generic graphical high level overview of the stages required for successful curation and preservation of digital material from initial conceptualisation. The Digital Curation Centre will shortly start to use this draft model to ensure that information, services and advisory material cover all areas of the lifecycle. The development of the model is now open to public consultation. We would be grateful for any comments or thoughts by 29 February 2008. We are also hoping to develop domain specific variations of the model, so ideas and comments relating to particular domains would also be welcome. The model can be found here: <http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/dcc-2007/posters/DCC_Curation_Lifecycle_Model.p df> http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/dcc-2007/posters/DCC_Curation_Lifecycle_Model.pd f Fuller information can also be found in the current edition of the International Journal of Digital Curation - Issue 2, Volume 2, 2007: http://www.ijdc.net/ijdc/article/view/45/52 Comments can be posted on the DCC Forum under "Draft DCC Curation Lifecycle Model": http://forum.dcc.ac.uk/ or emailed directly to: [log in to unmask] Sarah Higgins *********************************************************************** Sarah Higgins Standards Advisor Digital Curation Centre University of Edinburgh Appleton Tower Crichton Street EDINBURGH EH8 9LE Tel: 0131 650 6604 http://www.dcc.ac.uk/ ***************************************************************************
