The Role of Evidence in Establishing Trust in Repositories
Get PDFThis article arises from work by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Working Group examining mechanisms to roll out audit and certification services for digital repositories in the United Kingdom. Our attempt to develop a program for applying audit and certification processes and tools took as its starting point the RLG-NARA Audit Checklist for Certifying Digital Repositories. Our intention was to appraise critically the checklist and conceive a means of applying its mechanics within a diverse range of repository environments. We were struck by the realization that while a great deal of effort has been invested in determining the characteristics of a 'trusted digital repository', far less effort has concentrated on the ways in which the presence of the attributes can be demonstrated and their qualities measured. With this in mind we sought to explore the role of evidence within the certification process, and to identify examples of the types of evidence (e.g., documentary, observational, and testimonial) that might be desirable during the course of a repository audit.
It's Kinda Funny: music Douglas MacIntyre (Port Sulphur); film Prof. Ross Sinclair
No full text“It’s a very simple film, just one continuous shot, perhaps like those films they used to show on the Old Grey Whistle Test, some kind of discarded found footage in a rusting film can that seems to fit the bill. The images want to support and hold the song, without distracting. They reflect a feeling that is out of time, eerie, as the song has evolved, a cover version but not brought up to date, if anything made older, more antediluvian.
The pictures have a dreamlike texture that wash over you while you listen, but they have a strange quality, both smooth and jerky, maybe like a computer game, the subject not quite in charge, not sure how to be, where to go, how to act. It shows a fragment of a journey, maybe something like that of Tarkovsky’s Stalker, on a confused journey toward The Zone, abandoned, deserted.
The water you see is the Clyde Estuary, midway between Faslane and Coulport. I walk up here often, watching submarines, listening to audio books about philosophy while reflecting on the weapons of Global Annihilation hidden in the hollowed out mountains just a few miles away. The best and worst the human race has given the universe … Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile that we make them both. It’s Kinda Funny.”
“Josef K were a massive part of my life, especially at that crucial juncture when you’re 18, which is when I first saw Josef K performing at Glasgow City Hall supporting The Cure (as were Altered Images). At that point in my life I was very much an outsider, apt then that my duel companions were books (especially Camus, Capote, Cather) and my Article 58 cadre. I played guitar in the group, which was my primary point of expression, and as teenagers we would regularly go to see groups play at the Bungalow Bar in Paisley and Valentino’s in Edinburgh. The guitarists at that post-punk period in Scotland were as unique and original as the groups they played in (Scars, Orange Juice, Fire Engines), but my favourites were Josef K. It was a thrill when JK guitarist Malcolm Ross (along with Alan Horne) produced the only single released by Article 58 (released on Josef K manager Allan Campbell’s Rational label). Article 58 supported Josef K on a handful of English dates, JK were really firing on peak powers on the tour, their final tour before splitting up.
Josef K were largely known for their furious punk-funk, but their best record was their second single on Postcard Records. ‘It’s Kinda Funny’ is a plaintive, poignant song, written by Paul Haig on hearing the news that Ian Curtis had committed suicide, something I heard announced by Julian Cope from the stage of the Bungalow when The Teardrop Explodes played. Cope came on stage with the group and informed the audience they’d just been told the news about Curtis by their friends at Factory Records, an audience member went outside and phoned up John Peel live on his BBC Radio 1 show, Peel told the world.
I decided to do a Port Sulphur version of ‘It’s Kinda Funny’ for these dystopian times. The song is as soulful and relevant now as it was on its release 40 years ago.

New approaches to virtue ethics and deontology: David Ross and Alasdair Macintyre
No full textTez çalışması, etik tarihine yoğunlaşmaktadır. Batı felsefe tarihi içerisinde genel itibarıyla üç normatif/kuralcı teori vardır; erdem ahlâkı, ödev ahlâkı ve sonuççu ahlâk. Günümüzde bazı ahlâk düşünürlerinin mesele hakkında farklı düşünceleri söz konusudur. Ancak yaklaşımları ve imaları yeterince açık değildir ve genişletilmeye ihtiyaç gösterirler. Doktora tezi, David Ross ve Alasdair MacIntyre'a hususi gönderimde bulunarak erdem ahlâkı ve ödev ahlâkı üzerinde mukayeseli bir araştırma yardımıyla iki teori arasında bağlamsal ve tarihsel bağları tetkik etmeye çalışmaktadır. Anahtar sorular, tezin kapsamına dayanak oluşturmaktadır. Bir teoriyi erdem, ödev ya da sonuççu teori kılan açık-net ölçütlerin var olup olmadığı sorusu bu teorilerin ayrımının tarihi ve mantığını bize gösterecektir. Teorilerin birbirinden kategorik olarak ne zaman ve nasıl ayrıldıkları sorusu ise söz konusu ayrımın meşru olup olmadığını tartışmaya olanak sağlayacaktır. İçerisinde tüm bu teorilerin temsil edilebildiği bir teorinin meşru imkanı olup olmadığı sorusu da tezin amaçları, yaklaşımları ve ana hatlarını ortaya koyacaktır ve tezde bu sorulara cevap aranacaktır. Tezde, üç şey yapılmaya çalışıldı. İlkin, teorisi sistematik bir erdem ahlâkı olarak malum olan Aristoteles'in ahlâk anlayışları bağlamında erdem ahlâkının temel nitelikleri ortaya konuldu. Yine aynı şekilde teorisi ödev ahlâkının en sağlam ve sistematik formu olarak kabul gören Kant'ın anlayışları çerçevesinde ödev ahlâkının temel hususiyetleri çıkarıldı. Bu arada erdem ve ödev ahlâkları arasında farklılık ve benzerlikler ile tarih boyunca gelişimleri değerlendirilmeye alındı. İkincileyin, David Ross'un ahlâk felsefesi ayrıntılı olarak çıkarılması koşuluyla, onun teorisinin ödev ahlâkına katkıları ve ona ilişkin özgünlükleri keşfedilmeye çalışıldı. Ancak, Ross'un ahlâk anlayışına ilişkin önemli bir nokta vardır. Filozofun teorisi sadece ödev ahlâkı bağlamında incelenemez ve genel itibarıyla erdem teorisine bağlı bir eklektik yapıya sahip olduğunu hissettirir. Üçüncüleyin ise, MacIntyre'ın oldukça özgün ahlâk felsefesi ayrıntılı şekilde ortaya konuldu ve bu şekilde erdem ahlâkı tarihinde aldığı yeni yaklaşımlara yoğunlaşmaya çalışıldı. Ross için geçerli olan eklektik yaklaşımın MacIntyre için de geçerli olduğu düşünülebilir. Bu bağlamda, tezde, Hıristiyanlıktan mülhem manaları muhtevi erdem teorilerine ilişkin ve içsel olarak ödev ahlâkıyla barışık yeni yorumlar tartışıldı.The dissertation study focuses on the history of ethics. Within western moral philosophy, there are mainly three theories of normative ethics, namely virtue ethics, deontology and consequentialism. Some contemporary moral thinkers have started differently dealing with the issue. However, their approaches and implications may not seem obvious and need to be expanded. The PhD thesis examines the historical and contextual lines between them by means of a comparative study on virtue ethics and deontology with specific reference to David Ross and Alasdair MacIntyre. The key questions underpin the frame of the thesis. The question of whether or not there are exact criterion in order to refer to a theory as the theory of virtue or deontology or consequenitalism, shall demonstrate the logic and history of separations of them. The questions of how and since when these theories categorically have been separated from each other, shall discuss whether or not the separation is legitimate. The question of if there may legitimately be a theory in which all these theories would be combined and reconciled, shall put forth the aims, approaches and outlines of the thesis. In the dissertation, three things have been tried to do. Firstly, the main features of virtue theory have been put forward within the context of the moral understandings of Aristotle whose theory is mostly known as the systematic virtue theory. The main features of deontology have been produced within the framework of the understandings of Kant whose theory is mostly known as the solid and systematic form of deontology as well. Meanwhile, it has been examined the differences and similarities between virtue theory and deontology, the developments of the theories in the course of history. Secondly, it has been attempted to discover the originalities and contributions of the theory of David Ross to deontology by exhibiting the detailed moral philosophy of David Ross. However, there is an important point related to the moral understandings of Ross. His moral philosophy cannot be examined only within the context of deontology and demonstrates a synthetic and eclectic structure based mostly on virtue theory. Thirdly, it has been exposed the detailed moral philosophy of Alasdair MacIntyre which seems considerably original and by that way, has been tried to focus on the new tendencies in the history of virtue theory. What has been thought about the eclectic moral understandings of Ross can be considered as valid for MacIntyre. Within this context, in the dissertation, the new comments of virtue theory conveying the meanings stemming from Christianity and intrinsically reconciled with deontology have been discussed
