Hello,

The Fedora community is gauging interest in hosting a full-day Fedora User
Group meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany on September 19, 2014, immediately
following the PASIG conference (September 16-18). All users of Fedora, the
open source, flexible and extensible digital repository platform, including
anyone thinking about adopting Fedora, are encouraged to plan on attending.
The meeting will be held at FIZ Karlsruhe ? Leibniz Institute for
Information Infrastructure, and registration will be free.

This will be an informal event that will give Fedora community members an
opportunity to meet each other in person, discuss local projects and use
cases, and find potential collaborators. Attendees are encouraged to give
short (5 minutes) or long (15-20 minutes) project updates. Members of
DuraSpace and the Fedora Steering Group will also be present to provide an
update on the latest Fedora 4 developments and discuss opportunities for
engagement with the project.

*Please indicate your interest in attending the Fedora User Group meeting* in
Karlsruhe by contacting David Wilcox dwilcox at fedora-commons.org
<dwilcox at fedora-commons.org?subject=Fedora%20User%20Group%20Meeting%20in%20Karlsruhe>
with
a +1 (and any additional comments you may have). When it is clear there is
sufficient interest in the event, we will send out additional details and
registration information.

Thank you!

 Dear friends and colleagues,

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University is pleased
to announce a new publication from its Privacy Tools for Sharing Research
Data <https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/privacy_tools> project team,
titled ?Integrating Privacy Approaches across the Research Lifecycle:
Long-term Longitudinal Studies.?
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2469848>

This paper explores interdisciplinary approaches to privacy in long-term
longitudinal studies of human subjects. Long-term longitudinal studies
collect, at multiple points over a long period of time, highly-specific and
often sensitive data describing the health, socioeconomic, or behavioral
characteristics of human subjects. The value of such studies lies in part
in their ability to link a set of behaviors and changes to each individual,
but these factors tend to make the combination of observable
characteristics associated with each subject unique and potentially
identifiable.

Using the research information lifecycle as a framework, the paper
discusses the defining features of long-term longitudinal studies and the
associated challenges for researchers tasked with collecting and analyzing
such data while protecting the privacy of human subjects. It also describes
the disclosure risks and common legal and technical approaches currently
used to manage confidentiality in longitudinal data. Finally, it identifies
urgent problems and areas for future research to advance the integration of
various methods for preserving confidentiality in research data.

The paper is the first in a series of reports based on the Integrating
Approaches to Privacy across the Research Data Lifecycle workshop, held by
the Privacy Tools for Sharing Research Data project at Harvard University
on September 24-25, 2013. The workshop convened over forty leading experts
in computer science, statistics, law, policy, and social science research
to discuss the state of the art in data privacy research. The resulting
conversations centered on the emerging tools and approaches from the
participants? various disciplines and how they should be integrated in the
context of real-world use cases that involve the management of confidential
research data. Additional reports are forthcoming in 2014.

The full paper is available for download at SSRN: "Integrating Approaches
to Privacy across the Research Lifecycle: Long-term Longitudinal Studies"

Hi,
Can you tell my library is undergoing some changes with respect to research data?

It is now being proposed that we start charging for data stored in our repository USpace. My questions are :

1.      Do you charge researchers for depositing research data into your repository?

2.      What does the charge cover (storage/curation, administration costs, hardware, software, FTE for assisting researcher with data, etc.)

3.      Do you have a file size limit for depositing data? What is it?

4.      Do you have a file size limit before you start charging for depositing data? What is it? How much do you charge?

5.      What is the average file size being deposited in you repository?

Thanks for any assistance,
Daureen

*DuraSpace and Artefactual Partner to Offer New Hosted Service*

New End-to-End Digital Preservation Service is Designed for Universities,
Archives and Cultural Heritage Organizations

Winchester, MA  Universities, archives and cultural heritage organizations
want it all when it comes to ensuring that their digital holdings remain
both safe and accessible for future generations. Archivematica
<https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Main_Page>, a preservation workflow
tool designed by Artefactual <http://www.artefactual.com/>, and DuraCloud
<http://duracloud.org/>, an archival cloud storage and preservation service
from DuraSpace <http://duraspace.org/>, are pleased to announce that they
have teamed up to provide just that?an end-to-end open-source digital
preservation solution based on Archivematica and DuraCloud that will set
the standard for one-stop durable, safe, and cost effective long-term
preservation and storage.

"We are extremely enthusiastic about our new strategic partnership with
Artefactual Systems,? said DuraSpace CEO Michele Kimpton. ?Artefactual are
experts in archiving digital material and we are experts in managing open
source projects and running software in cloud infrastructure.  With our
teams working together we can achieve a truly robust, open, easy to use
digital archiving solution I think the community will be excited about."


Archivematica and DuraCloud are unique among long-term preservation and
storage solutions. They are both built on open-source software which is
documented and freely available. Users can download their data at any
point. This means that users of the new service do not have to worry about
data lock-in and the service can be run locally at any time. AVPreserve has
called DuraCloud ?unique among the services covered? in their Cloud Storage
Vendor Profiles series [1] because users can download the entirety of data
at any point and/or host the system locally without additional cost.[2]

"The launch of an Archivematica DuraCloud hosted solution is a timely
addition to the digital preservation community, offering a configurable
preservation planning option at the intersection of OAIS-based workflows
(Archivematica) and archival storage services (DuraCloud),? said Nancy
McGovern, Director of DPM Workshops <http://www.dpworkshop.org/>. ?When
providers choose collaboration over competition, the gains to our community
can be significant. A partnership like this that brings together
open-source providers each with a solid track record promises to result in
just that kind of benefit."


Users of the service will have access to a robust suite of digital
preservation functions via the online dashboard. Archivematica is well
known for its ability to produce highly standardized and interoperable
Archival Information Packages; these packages will automatically be placed
into DuraCloud for long-term secure archival storage. Some of the key
features of Archivematica include assigning permanent identifiers and
checksums, virus checking, identifying and validating file formats,
extracting technical metadata, normalizing files to preservation-friendly
formats, and generating detailed PREMIS metadata to facilitate
inter-repository data exchange.  Key features of DuraCloud include
automated health checking of the content, reporting, and the choice to
store multiple copies at multiple storage providers.

If your organization is interested in learning more about this offering
please contact Michele Kimpton (mkimpton at duraspace.org) or Evelyn McLellan (
evelyn at artefactual.com), or complete the inquiry form at
http://duracloud.org/archivematica

Hi Daureen,

We have explored this topic as well. Based off what you have written, it would appear that for these images, and the photos, copyright could apply. The question of the rights holder would depend if the images/photos were captured as work-for-hire or not. If not, the person who took the photo would be the rights holder. Since US government publications cannot be copyrighted, it may stand that the photographs (funded by NSF) cannot either. This may be splitting hairs, as I imagine this grant was administered by an institution, in which case the institution will probably claim copyright.

Likewise, you would want to secure the rights for the CAT scans that were provided by labs from the labs themselves. One could try to make an argument that the CAT scans are actually data and no creative spirit went into their production. This is a topic of lengthy discussion on Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Requests_for_comment/Xrays I imagine that the lab that produced the image will probably claim some sort of IP status so, in my opinion, it?s worth negotiating the rights even if there is no legal footing to protect them.

All that said, as Amanda noted the safest route is to confer with legal and see what their approach is. I usually try to approach them with a ?This is what I would like to try doing, do you see any red flags?? and see what they say.

I would love to know what other people have done in similar situations!

All the best,

Yasmeen

Hi Amanda,
Your questions also need to be addressed ? but for my scenarios:
The photos are of an inanimate object ? no people pets, etc.
The CAT scans are of alligators, crocodiles and caimans ? no humans. I?m actually attempting to determine if I can start a collection of these scans from across the country so threatened and endangered species do not have to be rescanned. We have scanning facilities on campus that scan zoo animals when needed for health reasons.

Daureen,

I?m afraid I can?t answer your question, but I?d love to know what others answer. We run into this sort of thing quite a bit and haven?t yet come to a consensus on it. My additional concerns for this type of data are: 1) Is it personal health information pulled from medical files, and if so, is it subject to HIPAA? 2) It was definitely a human subject initially ? does the IRB data section specify whether this will be shared or not? And, 3) Could it be considered personally identifiable information (not knowing that much about CT scans, does it seem like you could identify someone with this photo? This topic comes up with the sharing of DNA samples sometimes.)? When I do run into something as sticky as this, I usually send it to our legal department and eventually an answer comes back, but there is often a lot of speculation about whether the answer can be generalized. I?d love to know what others do. Thank you for posing the question ? it?s nice to know I?m not the only one!

Thanks,

Hi all,
Got a sticky question here.
We have CAT scans and photos coming in to deposited in our IR. Photos were taken by the researcher. CAT scans were taken by various labs and provided to the researcher for their use in researcher. Some of the scans were done at the Univ of Utah.

How have you handled the copyright question?
Data is not copyrighted, but these are images and I?m being told may fall under copyright.

For the photo example I?m assuming that the researcher owns CR because he took the photos as part of an NSF grant.

****Please excuse cross-postings****



Greetings:



This is a friendly reminder that our survey, "Identifying Motivations for DAMS Migration: A Survey", concludes on October 1, 2014.



We are soliciting survey responses from information professionals at institutions which are migrating, have migrated, or will migrate to a new digital asset management system.  The title of the survey is "Identifying Motivations for DAMS Migration: A Survey."



For the purposes of this survey, a digital asset management system (DAMS) is software that supports the ingest, "description, tracking, discovery, retrieval, searching, and distribution of collections of digital objects [1]".    Some examples of commonly used DAMS are: CONTENTdm, DSpace, Islandora, DigiTool, Fedora, etc.



Please note that this survey does not focus on systems used exclusively as institutional repositories, which we consider to be repositories that only provide access to the "intellectual output of an institution [2]".



The results from our survey will possibly lead to a publication in a professional journal and/or presentations at relevant professional conferences.

Hi Daureen - these questions are very much on our minds. We?ve been kicking around several financial models over the last few years. Our current answers to your questions:

1. We don?t currently charge researchers. Whenever we?ve brought up the idea of charging, the conversation almost immediately stops. We are working toward a broader campus-funded or subsidized model that would allow us to work with research collections in a fuller way. (And the campus is spinning up a ?free? basic storage service for everyone. But it?s definitely *not* a repository.) 

2. The campus financial model includes the things you mention, as well as long-term preservation.

3 and 4. We don?t have a file size limit, but likely will. I?m going to guess we?ll have a limit to the ?free? version (dunno, maybe up to 10-15 TBs) and then a hard limit of "no we just can?t deal with that much," maybe 100+TB?). Note that we can take this amount of content into our preservation environment, with all the appropriate caveats about how long it takes to move data around.

5. Most of our collections are in the 500GB range, with some spiking up to 5-6TBs. People keep telling us they have massive amounts of big data, but once they understand what curation and preservation actually mean, the final amount is much smaller. 

Hope that?s helpful.

David.

*REGISTER: Fedora User Group Meeting Set For Karlsruhe*

*Winchester, MA*  The Fedora community is hosting a full-day Fedora User
Group meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany on September 19, 2014, immediately
following the PASIG Conference <http://www.asis.org/Pasig/> (September
16-18). All Fedora users, including anyone thinking about adopting Fedora,
are encouraged to attend. The meeting will be held at FIZ Karlsruhe ?
Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure, and registration is free.

This is a community-driven event, so attendees are encouraged to give short
(5 minutes) or long (15-20 minutes) presentations on project updates, new
initiatives, or other topics of interest. This is a great opportunity to
find out what other community members are working on and engage with
potential collaborators. Members of DuraSpace and the Fedora Steering Group
will also be present to provide an update on the latest Fedora 4
developments and discuss opportunities for engagement with the project. The
agenda will be finalized over the next few weeks based on community
submissions and suggested topics.

*Space is limited, so please register
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PHTnvdKBwP7UC_PoyikwSvWKyCXleU9byNc4V3QxKAk/viewform>

Message-ID: <90AD2B224080314AB33E9DFA60784950C108944F@mailmb1.noble.org>

Hello All:

Our small research library is contemplating usage of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) addendum to allow authors to maintain key rights to publications.  We would like to eventually encourage (or think we would) our researchers to utilize this document when submitting to journals in the hopes that accepted publications could be saved in our institution's repository.

If your institution has had experience with this addendum, what has that experience been like? I'm interested in the pros and cons.

Are you putting the documents in your repository where anyone can access them or are you making them available only internally?

How did you get buy-in from your researchers to use the addendum?  Our concern is that researchers will assume that the publisher's rejection of the addendum will translate into rejection of their manuscript.  Our understanding is that this shouldn't be the case; the addendum may get rejected, but not necessarily the publication.

Anyone unfamiliar with SPARC:  http://www.sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/Access-Reuse_Addendum.pdf

Thanks for you time.

Subject: [Rdap] Input Requested for NISO Altmetrics Initiative project -
	help us set priorities
Message-ID: <004a01cfb58a$e29e6760$a7db3620$@org>

Following the close of the comment period for the NISO draft white paper
summarizing Phase I of its Alternative Assessment Metrics (Altmetrics)
Project, NISO is making available a survey inviting the community to provide
input as to what action items in the realm of alternative assessment are
most important for NISO to work on in its upcoming Phase II. 

 

The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/niso-altmetrics.
All are invited to provide input through August 29. 

 

The NISO white paper, available at
http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/13295/niso_altmetrics_whi
te_paper_draft_v4.pdf, summarizes community input to development of
potential standards and recommended practices for research assessment
metrics. The Initiative was launched in July 2013, with a grant from the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, to study, propose, and develop community-based
standards or recommended practices for alternative metrics. In Phase 1 of
the project, three in-person meetings were held and 30 in-person interviews
conducted to collect input from all relevant stakeholders, including
researchers, librarians, university administrators, scientific research
funders, and publishers. The draft white paper is the summary of the
findings from those meetings and interviews, along with the identification
of potential action items for further work in Phase II of the project.

 

More than 250 ideas were generated by participants in the meetings and
interviews, and NISO condensed these to 25 action items in nine categories:
definitions, research outputs, discovery, research evaluation, data quality
and gaming, grouping and aggregation, context, stakeholders' perspectives,
and adoption. 

 

The NISO Altmetrics Project webpage
(www.niso.org/topics/tl/altmetrics_initiative) provides links to detailed
output documents and recordings from each of the meetings and related
information resources.

*Subject:* [4C] Draft Roadmap



The 4C project team has been working on a draft Roadmap lately, titled
?Investing in curation: a shared path to sustainability?.



Presented as a set of six messages, and available now for public review and
comment, the Roadmap considers the actions necessary to achieve a change in
the way that all organisations think about and sustainably manage their
digital assets.



In order to make this Roadmap a valuable source for the whole community, we
would like to invite you to take part in an initial testing-period to help
us gather feedback to help make the Roadmap the very best it can be.



Please find the draft Roadmap attached and on the 4C website under
http://www.4cproject.eu/d5-1-draft-roadmap. On the website you can also
find the online feedback tool we?ve prepared to make it as easy as possible
for you to give feedback (here <http://www.4cproject.eu/rmfeedback>).
However, we?d also be happy if you prefer sending us your thoughts in an
email to info at 4cproject.eu



We would appreciate your input on following topics:

?         Do you consider the Roadmap and its messages meaningful?

?         If the message applies to you, are you prepared to act on it?

?         Do you agree with the message?

?         Is this message aimed at the right audience?



The Curation Costs Exchange beta will also be released this week.



All the best,

Katarina

Subject: 4C Project release 'Curation Costs Exchange' beta - supporting smarter investments by comparing digital curation costs

The 4C project is delighted to announce that the beta version of the 'Curation Costs Exchange'<http://www.curationexchange.org/> (CCEx) website has been released.

Helping organisations to make smarter investments in digital curation by enabling knowledge transfer and cost comparisons between organisations of all types, the CCEx is an online community platform for the exchange of curation cost information.

"The value we can all derive from the CCEx depends entirely on the willingness of organisations to share their cost data, and on their understanding of the benefits that sharing will bring about," observes Alex Thirifays of the Danish National Archive (DNA). "The more costs are shared, the more we can all learn about making smarter investments in digital curation."

A crowd-sourced driven database and library of curation cost information, the CCEx uses the costs data it gathers to provide automatic generation of results for the purposes of self-assessment, cost comparisons with peers and insights into the financial accounting and activity costs of other organisations; supporting the 4C Project's vision of creating a better understanding of digital curation costs through collaboration.

Beta testing will take place between the 12th August and 15th September and will involve invited testers, but the 4C Project welcomes feedback from all users.

"Anyone with an interest in or a need for a deeper understanding of the costs of preserving your digital material can try out the CCEx and let us know what they think," encourages Luis Faria of KEEP Solutions in Portugal who has led the team charged with developing the CCEx.

All comments and any cost data shared with the 4C project will be treated confidentially and will be used solely for the purposes of refining the performance of the CCEx.

In order to take part in the CCEx beta-testing, visit www.curationexchange.org<http://www.curationexchange.org/> and get started.

Subject: [academic_division] limits and charges for research data

Hi,
Can you tell my library is undergoing some changes with respect to research data?

It is now being proposed that we start charging for data stored in our repository USpace. My questions are :

  1.  Do you charge researchers for depositing research data into your repository?
  2.  What does the charge cover (storage/curation, administration costs, hardware, software, FTE for assisting researcher with data, etc.)
  3.  Do you have a file size limit for depositing data? What is it?
  4.  Do you have a file size limit before you start charging for depositing data? What is it? How much do you charge?
  5.  What is the average file size being deposited in you repository?

Thanks for any assistance,
Daureen

*CALL for Expressions of Interest in Hosting the Annual Open Repositories
Conference, 2016*

The Open Repositories Steering Committee seeks Expressions of Interest from
candidate host organizations for the 2016 Open Repositories Annual
Conference. Proposals from all geographic areas will be given consideration.

*Important dates*
The Open Repositories Steering Committee is accepting Expressions of
Interest to host the OR2016 conference until August 24th 2014. Shortlisted
sites will be notified before the end of September 2014.

*Background*
Candidate institutions must have the ability to host a four-day conference
of approximately 300-500 attendees (OR2014 <http://or2014.helsinki.fi/> held
recently in Helsinki, Finland drew more than 450 people). This includes
appropriate access to conference facilities, lodging, and transportation,
as well as the ability to manage a range of supporting services (food
services, internet services, and conference social events; conference web
site; management of registration and online payments; etc.). The candidate
institutions and their local arrangements committee must have the means to
support the costs of producing the conference through attendee registration
and independent fundraising. Fuller guidance is provided in the *Open
Repositories Conference Handbook
<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/or11/Open+Repositories+Conference+Handbook>*
on
the Open Repositories wiki.

*Expressions of Interest Guidelines*
Organisations interested in proposing to host the OR2016 conference should
follow the steps listed below:

1. Expressions of Interest (EoIs) must be received by August 24th, 2014.
Please direct these EoIs and any enquiries to OR Steering Committee Chair
Carol Minton Morris <cmmorris at duraspace.org>.

2.  As noted above, the Open Repositories wiki has a set of pages at *Open
Repositories Conference Handbook
<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/or11/Open+Repositories+Conference+Handbook>*
which
offer guidelines for organizing an Open Repositories conference. Candidate
institutions should pay particular attention to the pages listed at
"Preparing a bid" before submitting an EoI.

3.  The EoI must include:
? the name of the institution (or institutions in the case of a joint bid)
? an email address as a first point of contact
? the proposed location for the conference venue with a brief paragraph
describing ? the local amenities that would be available to delegates,
including its proximity to a reasonably well-served airport

4. The OR Steering Committee will review proposals and may seek advice from
additional reviewers.  Following the review, one or more institutions will
be invited to submit a detailed proposal.

5.  Invitations to submit a detailed proposal will be issued before the end
of September 2014; institutions whose interest will not be taken up will
also be notified at that time. The invitations sent out will provide a
timeline for submitting a formal proposal and details of additional
information available to the shortlisted sites for help in the preparation
of their bid. The OR Steering Committee will be happy to answer specific
queries whilst proposals are being prepared.

*About Open Repositories*
Since 2006 Open Repositories has hosted an annual conference that brings
together users and developers of open digital repository platforms. For
further information about Open Repositories and links to past conference
sites, please visit the OR home page: http://sites.tdl.org/openrepositories/

Hi, Here is a roundup of information I received and found. I?ll let you know what we end up doing sometime in October.
Daureen

From Amanda Rinehart
The Ohio State University
These are questions that have often come up in my conversations, and we have very little to go on for future planning. Would you be so kind as to distribute the answers to your questions? The only guidance I have found from other institutions is listed below:

Purdue?s pricing: https://purr.purdue.edu/about/pricing
Princeton?s pricing: http://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/about/DataSpacePnG.pdf ?Beginning
on
July
1,
2009 the
charge
per
Megabyte
of
storage
will
be
$0.006
with
a
minimum
charge
of

$0.60
per
submission.?

From David Minor
UC San Diego Library
Hi Daureen - these questions are very much on our minds. We?ve been kicking around several financial models over the last few years. Our current answers to your questions:

1. We don?t currently charge researchers. Whenever we?ve brought up the idea of charging, the conversation almost immediately stops. We are working toward a broader campus-funded or subsidized model that would allow us to work with research collections in a fuller way. (And the campus is spinning up a ?free? basic storage service for everyone. But it?s definitely *not* a repository.)

2. The campus financial model includes the things you mention, as well as long-term preservation.

3 and 4. We don?t have a file size limit, but likely will. I?m going to guess we?ll have a limit to the ?free? version (dunno, maybe up to 10-15 TBs) and then a hard limit of "no we just can?t deal with that much," maybe 100+TB?). Note that we can take this amount of content into our preservation environment, with all the appropriate caveats about how long it takes to move data around.

5. Most of our collections are in the 500GB range, with some spiking up to 5-6TBs. People keep telling us they have massive amounts of big data, but once they understand what curation and preservation actually mean, the final amount is much smaller.
Hope that?s helpful.

From Willow Dressel
Princeton University
Here is a paper on the current funding model for Princeton?s dspace repository DataSPACE. http://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/bitstream/88435/dsp01w6634361k/1/DataSpaceFundingModel_20100827.pdf

Not a response but related:
The 4C project is delighted to announce that the beta version of the ?Curation Costs Exchange?<http://www.curationexchange.org/> (CCEx) website has been released.

Helping organisations to make smarter investments in digital curation by enabling knowledge transfer and cost comparisons between organisations of all types, the CCEx is an online community platform for the exchange of curation cost information.

?The value we can all derive from the CCEx depends entirely on the willingness of organisations to share their cost data, and on their understanding of the benefits that sharing will bring about,? observes Alex Thirifays of the Danish National Archive (DNA). ?The more costs are shared, the more we can all learn about making smarter investments in digital curation.?

A crowd-sourced driven database and library of curation cost information, the CCEx uses the costs data it gathers to provide automatic generation of results for the purposes of self-assessment, cost comparisons with peers and insights into the financial accounting and activity costs of other organisations; supporting the 4C Project?s vision of creating a better understanding of digital curation costs through collaboration.

Beta testing will take place between the 12th August and 15th September and will involve invited testers, but the 4C Project welcomes feedback from all users.

?Anyone with an interest in or a need for a deeper understanding of the costs of preserving your digital material can try out the CCEx and let us know what they think,? encourages Luis Faria of KEEP Solutions in Portugal who has led the team charged with developing the CCEx.

All comments and any cost data shared with the 4C project will be treated confidentially and will be used solely for the purposes of refining the performance of the CCEx.

In order to take part in the CCEx beta-testing, visit www.curationexchange.org<http://www.curationexchange.org/> and get started.

*Fedora User Group Meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany*

FIZ Karlsruhe

Friday, September 19, 2014

Karlsruhe, Germany



This Fedora User Group meeting will be held immediately following the PASIG
Meeting. All Fedora users, including anyone thinking about adopting Fedora,
are encouraged to attend. The meeting will include a mix of project updates
from the community and presentations on Fedora 4 from members of DuraSpace
and the Fedora Steering Group.



This is a community-driven event, so attendees are encouraged to give short
(5 minutes) or long (15-20 minutes) presentations on project updates, new
initiatives, or other topics of interest. This is a great opportunity to
find out what other community members are working on and engage with
potential collaborators. The agenda will be finalized over the next few
weeks based on community submissions and suggested topics.


Space is limited, so please register in advance to reserve your seat. Don't
forget to sign up for a presentation and suggest topics you'd like to
discuss or learn about.



*Fedora 4.0 Training at the DC Fedora User Group Meeting*

National Library of Medicine

Tuesday, October 7, 2014

Washington, DC



Following the DC Fedora User Group meeting, Fedora Product Manager David
Wilcox and Technical Lead Andrew Woods will deliver this full-day Fedora 4
training workshop. It is aimed at repository managers and developers; both
current Fedora implementers and those interested in adopting Fedora are
encouraged to attend. Attendees will learn how to get up and running with
the new version of Fedora, how to take advantage of  new features, and how
to plan for a migration from Fedora 3 to Fedora 4.



The workshop will include an overview of new features and improvements over
previous versions of Fedora, along with instructions on how to use some of
these new features. Planning migrations from Fedora 3 to Fedora 4 will also
be discussed, including new opportunities for data modelling, metadata
enhancement, and leveraging Linked Open Data capabilities. A detailed
agenda will be posted in the next few weeks.



Registration for the Fedora 4 training workshop and the DC Fedora User
Group meeting is open now. Space is limited, so register soon!


*Fedora 4 Training*

Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries

Thursday, October 16, 2014 from 9:00AM to 5:00PM (MDT)

Denver, CO



This full-day Fedora 4 training workshop, delivered by Fedora Technical
Lead Andrew Woods, will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn
about and discuss the features available in the upcoming Fedora 4
production release. It is aimed at repository managers and developers; both
current Fedora implementers and those interested in adopting Fedora are
encouraged to attend. The workshop will begin with a general overview of
Fedora 4, including new features and improvements over previous versions.
Andrew will also discuss the important topic of migration planning;
including new opportunities for data modelling, metadata enhancement, and
leveraging Linked Open Data capabilities.


Given the importance of popular Fedora integrations like Islandora and
Hydra, there will be an update on the work those communities are doing to
upgrade to Fedora 4. And while Andrew will lead the workshop, there will be
an opportunity for attendees to briefly demonstrate or present on any
projects they may be doing with Fedora 4. There will also be time for
attendees to suggest additional topics to be covered during the workshop.


Register [1] for free now! Attendance is limited so register soon to
reserve your seat.


Over the past year and a half, the Fedora community has come together to
redesign and rebuild Fedora as a robust repository platform for the next
decade. This new version of the software, Fedora 4 [2], introduces a number
of sought-after features [3], including performance improvements, support
for large files, and native linked data capabilities. The codebase has also
been revitalized to take advantage of modern, best-practice coding
standards, including rigorous testing and documentation.  The first
official release, Fedora 4.0, launched as a beta version [4] in June, and
the full release will be available later this year.

*Fedora 4 Down Under*

eResearch Australasia

Friday, October 31, 2014 from 9:00AM to 5:00PM (AEST)

Melbourne, AU



This full-day workshop is aimed at repository managers and developers; both
current Fedora implementers and those interested in adopting Fedora are
encouraged to attend. The workshop will provide an overview of Fedora 4,
the new version of the software, and provide an opportunity for attendees
to engage with the project team.


The workshop will also feature a discussion on migrating content to Fedora
4 from other repository systems; attendees are encouraged to bring their
own migration use cases to the workshop and participate in the discussion.
There will also be an opportunity for attendees to present on integrations
between Fedora and other software applications (e.g. Symplectic, Islandora,
Hydra, etc.). If you would like to demonstrate or discuss a Fedora
integration at the workshop, please contact David Wilcox (
dwilcox at duraspace.org).


Please register for the workshop using the eResearch Australasia conference
website [2]. The University of New South Wales Library is subsidizing the
event, so the registration fee is only $50.

Northwestern University Interdisciplinary Innovation in Developmental Education and Science (NUIIDEAS) Data Repository Needs Assessment Project

Northwestern University Interdisciplinary Innovation in Developmental Education and Science (NUIIDEAS) is a University-wide initiative focused on creating scientific community and catalyzing boundary-spanning scientific integration along the broad theme of early life influences on lifespan health and wellbeing.  The overall goal of the effort, which will carry over into additional phases beyond this assessment phase, will be to create a system that researchers can store, access, and analyze existing data, collected by researchers at Northwestern and elsewhere, that focuses on developmentally-oriented research questions.

In the current six month needs assessment phase, a team of faculty, librarians, and technologists are working together to characterize the data and to understand data sharing practices and expectations. We seek a consultant for the assessment phase to help the team develop an approach that will include interviews, analysis of published literature, analysis of existing data sets, and an assessment of existing repository strategies. The consultant will advise the team and review drafts of the team's report and recommendations.

The desired date for responses is September 2, 2014, but we have some flexibility on the date and on the scope of work; please feel free to contact me directly with any questions, etc..

More details in the full RFP, found here: http://cscdc.northwestern.edu/blog/?p=904 .
Proposals may be sent via email to me or to beth.skendrovic at northwestern.edu<mailto:beth.skendrovic at northwestern.edu>
