What?
The OCUL Digital Curation Community's 2014 Summit will introduce attendees to various digital curation tools through practical workshops conducted by expert community members.
Participants will learn about:
- digital preservation policies
- digitization work-flows and digitization support in Ontario
- linked data in digital curation
- digital curation tools such as Archivematica, Islandora, and Omeka
The impetus for the OCUL Digital Curation Community comes from the OCUL Digital Curation Summit at York University in May, 2013. There was a clear desire among summit participants for opportunities to share knowledge, experience, work being done at our institutions, and occasions for collaboration. As digital curation activities are core to the OCUL mission, this is envisioned as an ongoing community.
