The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms.

The amount of digital data increases, the price for storage capacity decreases, the technology is still rapidly evolving offering new ways of storing, publishing and building added value services on top of data. Temptation is high to believe that dealing with massive amount of data is easy, just because data storage gets every day cheaper and the technology more stable. But data management, data description and data curation remain the challenges for building modern archives while keeping in mind their long-term preservation.

The rapid rate at which technology is evolving and digital material is degraded presents particular challenges about what to preserve, which features to preserve, for how long, for what usage and how to undertake preservation activities. Planets (Preservation and Long-term Access through NETworked Services) will host the second in a series of five three-day training events in Europe at the Arena di Serdica hotel, Sofia, Bulgaria, on 16-18 September 2009. ‘Digital Preservation – The Planets Way’ will consider the need to preserve digital content, the action that needs to be taken and introduce the Planets approach to addressing these issues.

Following the invitation of its Scientific Committee, a group of young archivists have already looked into the development of an attractive programme for this important meeting of the archival community which will take place in Geneva in 2010. The 8th European Archives Conference will take place in Geneva from 28 - 30 April, 2010. Designed to define the current and future challenges of the profession, the conference is being organised by the European Regional Branch (EURBICA) and the Section on Professional Associations (SPA) of the International Council on Archives (ICA) as well as by the Swiss Federal Archives. The International Scientific Committee, responsible for the programme of the conference, decided to choose digital archiving as the general theme for this 8th edition. They wished to innovate by focusing on the function of archives – the archiving – and no longer on the institution. The conference programme will therefore be structured around the challenges and opportunities represented by digital archiving today.

In parallel the development of Web 2.0 technologies has had an important impact on library services - dubbed the "library 2.0" model. This new library 2.0 requires a user-centred shift and encourages constant and purposeful change in which the users take an active part in the creation of the physical and the virtual services they want. Social networks, virtual access, tagging, blogging and wikis are just part of this new dimension and are open to librarians as well as to old and new users’ participation. The limits between the creation and the usage have disappeared and the library becomes a meeting point where people share their interest and problems with each other with a high potential for interoperability & exchange and the transition from classic isolated fields in the information infrastructure to dedicated communities and their specific workspaces. Some of these ideas are much older and have their origin in the basic ideas of the semantic web. In a sense we have seen a revival of these ideas: earlier statements like “too much complex” change to approaches which try to characterise data in the specific syntax of the semantic web are superseded by the opening of data for web applications. In this sense the new web technologies influence the potential access to information, too.

It covers almost all the segments of public dealings. An interesting application of DP arises in cases of forensics including cyber forensics. Forensic digital data bank management is a complex DP process. The data bank contains information on intimate and non-intimate objects. Along with the management issues legal requirements are also involved. The civil liberty issues like privacy rights, ethical issues and human rights occasionally require legal authority and permissions.

This is exemplified by such international initiatives as European Film Gateway, Europeana and other emerging networks. Such portals improve access to heritage resources for diverse audiences, and unlock it for various uses. However, building such repositories of shared resources requires collaboration and organizational decisions. The development of virtual memory institutions for audiovisual collections requires the establishment of effective content management solutions. High on the agenda of audiovisual archives are a wide spectrum of issues. They range from analogue-to-digital conversion, development and maintenance of digital archives, long-term preservation of digitized and born-digital material, as well as standardization and interoperability of digital information systems. In accordance with the latest emerging issues in the management and dissemination of audiovisual heritage, the conference, "Aggregation and Management of Audiovisual Content in the Digital Space", aims to promote a higher visibility for the Baltic heritage in a digital environment. Nationally and internationally, this can be achieved by sharing best practices and encouraging collaborative networks for stakeholders.

As we approach the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the digital age for archives, libraries and museums is not an option, but a reality. Huge digitisation projects have been or are being implemented while at the same time the production and distribution of the new content is mostly digital. What is the role of the audiovisual archives in this new technological environment? How distinct are the roles of the various cultural heritage institutions? What methods and techniques will ensure the accountability and continuity of the audiovisual content? How have users’ expectations been changed and what strategies have been employed to meet them? Which is the role of international organisations and of the IASA in this new environment? How can the National Archives of big and smallest countries can cope with this new environment?

It will be possible to register for a part or all of the programme. The workshop is aimed at those involved in the development of openaccess (OA) repositories and who can influence the direction of developments either within their institution, their country or at an international level - that includes technical developers of OA bibliographic databases and connected services, research information policy developers at university or library level, funding bodies concerned with access to the results of their research, OA publishers,and influential researchers keen to lead OA developments in their own field. Previous workshops have built a strong community spirit and the event is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and contact details with the wide range of people connected to the OA movement. The OAI series of workshops is one of the biggest international meetings in this field and takes place roughly every two years. No publisher DavidLamb 2009-03-19T10:12:08Z Event http://www.casparpreserves.eu/Members/metaware/Events/the-4th-annual-international-open-repositories-conference Repositories increasingly play a pivotal role in the emerging information landscape. Through the format of blending open user group meetings for DSpace, Fedora, and Eprints, followed by general conference sessions that cover cross-cutting and overarching issues, Open Repositories attempts to create an opportunity to explore the challenges faced by user communities and others in today's world. Repositories are being deployed in a variety of environments (education, research, science, cultural heritage) and contexts (national, regional, institutional, project, lab, personal). Regardless of setting, context or scale, repositories are increasingly expected to operate across administrative and disciplinary boundaries and to interact with distributed computational services and social communities. It is the aim of the Open Repositories Conference to bring together individuals and organizations responsible for the conception, development, implementation and management of digital repositories, as well as stakeholders who interact with them, to address theoretical, practical, and strategic issues. The many repository platforms available today are changing the nature of scholarly communication. Institutions such as universities, research laboratories, publishers, libraries, and commercial organizations are creating innovative repository-based systems that address the entire lifecycle of information-from supporting the creation and management of digital content, to enabling use, re-use, and interconnection of information, to ultimately ensuring long-term preservation and archiving.

It was geared to benefiting institutions that were contemplating entering, or may have had just entered, the digitization arena. This year we are presenting "Digitizing for Preservation and Access: Past is Prologue." It will focus on institutional approaches, case studies, standards and management techniques for projects and programs that are either underway or already completed. Thus, the discussion has moved from the experimental and theoretical to examining and learning from what has already been done. Our intent is for attendees to leave the conference with an understanding of what digitizing choices are appropriate for their institution, based in part on lessons learned and new ground broken by other institutions, large and small. The 2009 conference coincides with the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the National Archives. "Digitizing for Preservation and Access: Past is Prologue" will also feature an exhibit by vendors who provide products and services related to the conference topic.

It will take place on 22-23 June 2009, in London. It is the first biennial Conference of the British Chapter of the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO UK) entitled "Content Architecture: Exploiting and Managing Diverse Resources", and is organized in cooperation with the School of Library, Archives and Information Studies, University College London. Among the highlights will be keynote addresses from Clifford Lynch, Director of the Coalition for Networked Information, and Professor David Crystal, the renowned author, linguist and broadcaster. Important themes running through the "Content Architecture" Conference include: * Integration and semantic interoperability between diverse resources – text, images, audio, multimedia * Social networking and user participation in knowledge structuring * Image retrieval * Information architecture, metadata and faceted frameworks No publisher DavidLamb 2009-03-19T09:49:31Z Event http://www.casparpreserves.eu/Members/metaware/Events/e-resources-technical-update-london Many of us working directly with e-resources in libraries would like to feel more confident in our understanding of the related technology. Managing e-resources and making them available to end-users is quite different from dealing with print products, but many of us have moved from one to the other, picking up expertise informally. As a result we probably all have gaps in our knowledge and understanding, and the need to gain a proper balanced overview of the technical environment is crucial if we are to do our jobs effectively. The UKSG E-Resources Technical Update course will give you a good understanding of the underlying technicalities involved in e-resource set-up and delivery including e-journals, online databases and e-books, and will help you feel more confident in your day-to-day work.

However, many do not fully understand the potential risks associated with the long-term preservation and retrieval or how to proactively address these issues now for future risk mitigation. With the threat of technology obsolescence jeopardising storage and retrieval, organisations need to devise and implement effective strategies to protect digital assets. It is crucial to address concerns and define approaches for managing information, including ‘born-digital’ data and to establishing long-term methods of digital preservation for the future.
