The Outer OAIS - Inner OAIS (OO-IO) Model and use in Distributed Digital Preservation (DDP)
No full text<p>This recording provides an overview (38 minutes) of the Outer OAIS-Inner OAIS (OO-IO) Model by Eld Zierau. The OO-IO model uses the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model to provide a more detailed explanation of distributed digital preservation. Eld ZIerau, a digital preservation specialist at the Royal Danish Library, envisioned and specified the OO-IO model. Nancy McGovern, Director of Digital Preservation at MIT Libraries, collaborated on and contributed to the OO-IO model.</p>

Data Curation Profiles Symposium Panel on Broader Perspectives
No full textThe Data Curation Symposium was hosted by Purdue Libraries and was held on September 24, 2012. The participants on the panel on broader perspectives were Dr. Nancy McGovern (MIT via Skype), Dianne Dietrich (Cornell University), and Holly Surbaugh (Stratus Consulting).
Participants on the panel were asked to answer and discuss three questions: Are there other applications for data curation profiles? Are there other areas that librarians could or should explore? What other potential exists out there for actively growing this capacity in librarians
Radical collaborations: Joining forces to address user needs around research data management
No full textIn today's divided climate, we need more examples of collaboration in support of a common cause. Thought leaders in the scholarly community such as Alice Meadows, Kristin Ratan and Nancy McGovern have issued recent calls for organizations and stakeholders to come together, reduce overlap, combine/integrate systems, leverage strengths, and find new ways to progress towards our shared objective -- supporting research, researchers, and the cultivation of knowledge. According to McGovern, radical collaboration in digital practice calls for direct participation and personal engagement among a diverse group of experts who actually do the work, rather than simply staying informed or consulted about the work being done. This panel will provide models and case studies of collaboration and community-building across different types of organizations and technologies to improve the quality and usefulness of research data, as well as the user experience of research data publishing
A Digital Decade: Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going in Digital Preservation?
No full textThere has been measurable progress in the digital preservation community since the seminal work Preserving Digital Information: Final Report and Recommendations was published by the commission of the Commission on Preservation and Access and RLG more than a decade ago. Those concerned about digital preservation in 1996 did not have the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) standard to frame the development and discussion of digital preservation developments; or a set of attributes of trusted digital repository to delineate the organizational context for digital preservation; or a data dictionary for preservation metadata; or the concept of institutional repositories made real by a range of software options. All of these developments have emerged within the past decade. Today, we have conferences that are entirely devoted to digital preservation (e.g., the International Preservation (iPres)) conference and peer-reviewed journals for digital preservation, (e.g., The International Journal of Digital Curation). One can follow the maturation of the digital preservation community in a decade of RLG DigiNews articles.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/11/file891.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/9/file1002.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/8/file1113.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/7/file3152.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/6/file3262.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/5/file3484.csshttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/4/McGovern-Digital_Decade.htmlhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/1/McGovern.digital decade.htmhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/12/file869.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/13/file858.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/14/file814.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/15/file803.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/16/file747.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/17/file714.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/18/file647.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/19/file636.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/20/file525.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/21/file448.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/22/file370.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/23/file337.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/24/file336.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/25/file259.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/26/file3.jshttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/27/file2.csshttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/28/file3595.gifhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60441/29/file847.gi
Redefining loyalism: a political perspective, an academic perspective
No full textRedefining loyalism: a political perspective. Although loyalism in its modern sense has been around since the 1920s, it ac-quired its present shape only at the beginning of the 1970s. Then it was reborn in paramilitary form, and was used by other, more privileged, unionists to serve their own interests. Yet the sectarianism within which loyalism developed disguised the fact that less privileged members of the two communities had much in common. Separation bred hatred, and led to an unfounded sense of advantage on the part of many Protestants who in reality enjoyed few material benefits. The pursuit of ac-commodation between the two communities can best be advanced by attempts to understand each other and to identify important shared interests, and the peace process can best be consolidated by steady, orchestrated movement on the two sides, and by ignoring the protests of those who reject compromise.
Redefining loyalism: an academic perspective: In recent years a division has emerged within unionism between two sharply con-trasting perspectives. On the one hand, traditional unionism has relied on a dis-course of perpetuity, relying on long-standing values and political attachment to the old order, and seeing in the developments that have been taking place since 1998 evidence of a creeping form of Irish unity. By contrast to these, “new loyalism”, rep-resented in particular but not exclusively by the Progressive Unionist Party, is based on a reinterpretation of the past of unionism, seeing in this a pronounced and politically significant class structure, and putting the case for the defence of working class interests. This alternative vision rests on a more pluralistic concep-tion of the politics of Northern Ireland
