Registration now open for the Preservation Action Registries Workshop at the De Grey Rooms, York on 8th July 2019. The Preservation Action Registries project (http://parcore.org<http://parcore.org/>) is developing a common and consistent way to describe and execute preservation policies and actions at a technical level. An initial data model has been created which defines a human and machine-readable way of describing preservation actions and the associated business rules that together make up preservation policies. Using a skill acquisition technique borrowed from the medical profession (See One, Do One, Teach One) this workshop will lead participants through a three-step process, intended to improve the participants' ability to develop and describe their own digital preservation policies. The workshop will help participants to better express and share preservation policies in a concise, comprehensive and unambiguous way. Participants will be introduced to the PAR project and data model, using examples of working preservation actions and business rules. In smaller groups, participants will be led through the process of describing a new preservation policy using the PAR data model. Finally, groups will present their work to the other groups. Through this approach, the participants will gain valuable skills described below while the PAR consortium will also be able to answer key questions including: * Can the PAR model effectively describe real world preservation scenarios * What changes are needed to the PAR model to make it more effective, and in what preservation scenarios are they needed? * How easy is it to use the PAR model in practice and how could it be simplified or improved? How to register? Registration is free and open to everyone. Places are limited and should be booked in advance. Registration will close at 12:00 GMT on 28 June 2019 Book now: https://dpconline.org/events/co-sponsored-event-all-welcome-registration-essential/preservation-action-registry Cancellations will be accepted until 12:00 GMT on 28 June 2019, a 'no show' fee of £275 will be charged for those who cancel after this time. *Apologies for cross-posting* Sarah Middleton Head of Communications and Advocacy Digital Preservation Coalition 37 Tanner Row, York, YO1 6WP Tel: 01904 601952 http://www.dpconline.org/ Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Twitter: @Sarah_DPC The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and may be privileged.
