The Role of Evidence in Establishing Trust in Repositories
No full textThis 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.

Methods of historical river channel change reconstruction and their application to applied geomorphological research
No full textThis thesis examines the geomorphological significance of scale in space and time to provide a conceptual basis for understanding river channel change. This allows the investigator to evaluate the demands required in seeking answers to river channel change questions that are appropriate to the nature of the geomorphological enquiry. To achieve these requirements, the thesis considers the nature and magnitude of errors associated with a range of historical sources of information. Methodologies are presented which demonstrate how planform, cross-sectional and ground-based historical photographic information may be used to extrapolate river channel change for three morphologically different river channels in England and Wales (the rivers Towy, Sence and Tillingbourne respectively). The type of historical information is demonstrated to be appropriate to the nature of the channel adjustment in order to yield valuable information to aid the interpolation of patterns of past channel behaviour.The contribution of historical geomorphological techniques to aid river channel management is considered The example of the River Wey is used to demonstrate how a suite of historical sources of information may be used in conjunction with contemporary field observations to address specific river channel management challenges. A GIS-based method of compiling and manipulating multi-type historical information is demonstrated an effective aid to the interpolation of river channel change. Historical information is demonstrated to be effective in providing a historical context for understanding contemporary patterns of river channel behaviour and developing appropriate recommendations for management. The successful application of applied geomorphological expertise is demonstrated to be as much a reward of effective communication as geomorphological interpolation.The wider implications for the research is considered through the considerations of the practical challenges for the effective integration of historical geomorphology with river channel management and proposes a series of recommendations based on the findings of this research.</p

Redemption in the work of Francis Stuart
No full textThe idea of redemption is central to an understanding of the work
of Francis Stuart. Through an examination of its development and
expression, it is possible to demonstrate the integrity of his work and
its distinctive qualities. Such a demonstration is necessary because
Stuart's writing has been subjected to comparatively little scholarly
inquiry, although reviews of his work, especially that produced since
1949, suggest that it is impressive and important.
First, a general background to Stuart's work, a discussion of the
special problems associated with reading it, and a summary of his corpus
is provided. This indicates that the idea of redemption is important to
his earliest writing. The state of redemption is shown to be a
necessary apotheosis for Stuart's outcast heroes; it involves spiritual
suffering through which may be found a sense of reintegration and a
higher reality. This is expressed through interrelated themes such as
those of gambler, artist and ordinary man; mystic and criminal; sacred
and profane love; and spirituality and the mundane. The nature of the
redemptive experience is further elaborated by distinctive, complex
motifs, especially the hare, the ark and the woman-Christ. Their
recurrence provides an important element in the unity of Stuart's work.
Because Stuart's idea of the outcast raises important biographical
questions, an examination of the relationship between Stuart's life and
his work is made. Finally, the way in which the idea of redemption
exists in the language structures of Stuart's novels is examined, with
especial reference to his most recent work, The High Consistory. The
thesis shows that the development of the these of redemption
demonstrates the integrity of Stuart's work
