Agenda • What is Digital Curation • The Digital Curation Lifecycle Model • Case Study: The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library, 2003-2011
What is Digital Curation? Collection Preservation Archiving Maintenance Selection
Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model • Data • any information in binary digital form, is at the centre of the Curation Lifecycle.
Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model • Full Lifecycle Actions • Description and Representation Information • Preservation Planning • Community Watch and Participation • Curate and Preserve
Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model • Sequential Actions • Conceptualise • Create or Receive • Appraise and Select • Ingest • Preservation Action • Store • Access, Use and Reuse • Transform
Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model • Occasional Actions • Dispose • Reappraise • Migrate
Case Study The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library
The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library: the 4 W’s Who: • Joyner Library at East Carolina University+ What: • A digital library of books+ about eastern North Carolina When: • 2003-2004, initial project • 2004-2007, partnership project
The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library: the 4 W’s Where: You are here.
The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library: the 4 W’s Why: • ECU is the largest university in the eastern region, serving some of the poorest and most under-served counties in the state. • Material on eastern NC not widely available • The expertise and interest existed in the library to create a great digital project.
The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library: and 1 H How: ASP.net interface Digitization Lesson Activities Transcription Metadata
Case Study: The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library The End. …until
Case Study: The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library • 2008-2009, creation of Joyner Library Digital Collections, a sister repository more broad in scope • 2010-2011, migration of ENCDL into JLDC
Comparing ENCDL JLDC TextML / ASP.net Metadata standards (METS, MODS, MIX, TEI) Variety of materials Each object has Persistent Identifier (PID) and consistent filenaming Full-repository search Basic web-presence, but robust searching tools • TextML / ASP.net • Non-standard metadata (aside from TEI transcriptions) • Two basic material types • Non-standard filenaming • Significant supplementary documentation for each object • Text and Image/artifact in different search and browse • Extensive web-presence with educational activities
Digital Curation Round One…
Applying the lifecycle model • Community Watch and Participation • What are the common standards endorsed by our community? • JPEG2000 • EPUB • PREMIS • NC ECHO’s PMDO • Flash • HTML 5 • Curate and Preserve • What are the standards that will best fit our curation and preservation needs?
Applying the lifecycle model • Preservation Planning • What actions are in the best long-term interest of the ENCDL? JLDC? • Meetings with stakeholders • Web analytics • Reproduction requests • Review of infrastructure • Migration • Digital objects, metadata, web application
Applying the lifecycle model • Create a new collection in the repository • Create a “PID” for each digital object into the repository • Create METS/MODS/MIX/TEI/PREMIS record for each • Incorporate supplemental metadata • Create new PREMIS records for each • Create new hybrid object type for image + video • JPEG2000 for all images • pdf and epub for books
Applying the lifecycle model • JPEG2000 • Complicated algorithms • Inadequate software • Web application development with Kakadu • Presentation copies only at this time. • Metadata • PREMIS • Mapping and scripting multiple times • Repository structure • Modeling new object types • Functional requirements for UI and metadata • Use case scenarios in ENCDL mapped to JLDC
Applying the lifecycle model • Access, Use and Reuse • Recreate the book viewer using JPEG2000 • Create subject and map browse for the entire repository • Recreate ENCDL pages with repository’s stylesheet
The End • Curation • Preservation • Community Watchand participation
What Have We Learned? • Many of us will eventually need to migrate not just data, but collections and “experiences” into other repositories. • Digital Curation Lifecycle Model can help us think through Curation activities and evaluate them. • The Lifecycle Model is not linear, nor will our activities be. • The Lifecycle Model is not finite, but iterative.
