2015 OCUL Digital Curation

Summit Budget Proposal

• Kelly and Jenny took the lead on this to put together an activity plan for next year
• Nick submitted to OCUL - will let us know when he hears back

Regional Digitization Centres proposal

• Everyone to take a look at the proposal
• Idea is to minimize the work that might be duplicated across institutions
• Challenge is to provide opportunities for other institutions to participate without the project getting out of scope
• Timeline - hasn't gone to OCUL yet, will first go to OCUL Planning & Assessment Committee who will either send back with comments or send forward to the Directors
  • Next Directors meeting is at the end of November, but we're probably too late to submit the proposal in time
  • However, P&A Committee accepts proposals any time
• Feedback on the list was that some things needed to be flushed out
  • Maps/GIS group had a similar idea so there might be some crossover
• Anna notes that a similar project is being undertaken by the Moving Image Archives Network 

OLRC updates

• Used to be ODLRC, now Ontario Large Research Cloud (OLRC)
• Testing took place over the summer between GTA universities (TRY universities)
• Working through technical details, mostly where the five nodes will be located (UofT, York, three other institutions)
• Should be going into production once all the nodes are set up
• Currently gathering documentation from each institution regarding data centres, costs, minimum requirements, etc.
• Ideally, will launch in November
  • Work plan is still in effect (i.e. Archivematica as a storage option)
• Check the OLRC Spotdocs for more updates

Format Policy Registry group

• From Open Repositories, how can we work together across repository systems?
• Looking at how various platforms (Islandora, Hydra, Fedora, etc) can integrate with Archivematica's Format Policy Registration system

Updates from LAC

• Manager of the Digital Capacity shop at LAC - branch lead for management of documentary heritage in digital form
• Business leadership, development of LAC's TDR - looking forward to collaborating with the group to draw on experiences with TDR and digital preservation initiatives
• Communications channel from the group to LAC regarding the TDR
• Just finished the technical phase with auditor
• Formal policy group will be forming shortly to develop an institutional digital strategy for the TDR
• Will share documents for feedback:
  • LAC Local Digital Format Registry 2.0
  • Transfer Guidelines for digital documentary heritage
  • Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat Standard for Digitization in Canada (will be available in January)
    • Critical feedback most welcome
• Currently working on a business strategy for the ingest of archival material
• Question about scope of TDR - will likely be looking at specific program streams within LAC for inclusion in the TDR (theses, archival material)
  • Born-digital materials likely to be front-runners for inclusion
• Hoping to have TDR node up and running by 2017 - aligns with overall government policy of digital-by-default (already a reality in some areas)
