Clouds, basics and the future…
What capabilities and what developments can be actually expected from a cloud. A specific focus will rest on for which use cases clouds offer valuable features and for which they don’t. Currently, with clouds being near the “hype peak”, there is a lot of confusion about what clouds really are and what they can be really used for approached from the viewpoint of the heritage institutions, as well.
Stefán Péter
Cloud is one of the latest emerging technologies spreading nowadays in both private and public organizations. In the presentation we plan to give a summary on the natural evolution of a scientific infrastructure cloud that helps us decoupling and provisioning of operating environments, as well as we show how it has been created and built up. We also plan to give a brief detail on the infrastructure background as well as the 1-year operation experiences.
Lajos Bálint, NIIF/Hungarnet
eInfrastructure Services – DC-NET challenges and opportunities
The presentation provides an overview of e-Infrastructures for research and academia, with special emphasis on data infrastructures and by focusing on the storage and accessibility aspects of the digitised cultural heritage. Mission, history, functions, components, organisational aspects, development issues, operational questions, as well as co-operation matters are key elements of the investigation covering both traditional and service oriented e-Infrastructure architectures and applications. Challenges and opportunities are summarised as a conclusion, together with an outlook to the foreseeable perspectives/scenarios both on international and national scale.
Olav Stokmo, International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organisations (IFRRO)
Legal Aspects of long term preservation
The speaker will focus on the right to make archive copies, with special emphasis on exceptions and limitations in favour of libraries and on access to archived content. He would also aim at pointing out solutions rather than presenting the legal situation only.
Jérôme Dupont
The French SPAR project
This presentation deals with the SPAR BnF Project, which is the preservation system for digital material that the BnF has developped. Its design is based on the international standards relative to the sustainability of digital information. In particular, SPAR respects the OAIS standard (ISO-14721:2003), reference model for an open archival information system. The goal of this system is to handle the different digital materials that the BnF has to preserve: print digitization, web archives, audiovisual material, third party archiving etc. It provides differents features: format control at ingest stage, multiple copies and auto-healing, indexation of metadata. It takes account of the different requirements which each type of collection must fulfill. In order to operate SPAR, a set of graphic interfaces has been also developped. The first version of Spar was released in May 2010 and preserves more than 150 000 documents produced from printed material digitization today. The BnF is now adding to SPAR's functionality, adding new collections, new formats, new features and interfaces. In this presentation, we will first overview what is an OAIS compliant
system. In this part, the differents Spar components and their role will be described.
Then we will focus on metadata: which metadata must be preserved, how can they be modeled, accessed, and queried. Spar datamanagement module is based on rdf technology. We will see how it provides deep queries, useful to handle collections. The last part will bring us back to reality: we will talk about our first "real world" year. Actually 2010 is the first year the Archive was
released. In particular, we'll see how the technical constraints can influence preservation management. Moreover some new needs also appeared during this year, for instance administrative interfaces.
