[ESIP-all] Fwd: PASIG*DC -- Register for May 22-24 Conference and May 21 Workshops

[Joe Hourcle]

I thought this might be of interest, especially as we have so many
people in the DC area.

My understanding is that this group had originally been sponsored
by Sun Microsystems ... which probably explains why there's a
special Oracle bit in there.

> Virtualization technology made leaps and bounds in the last decade, though,
> and leveraging emulation for digital preservation has moved from a
> theoretical possibility to a practical reality by a few pioneering
> institutions. This presentation set will provide a 1.) demonstration of
> emulation in action, 2.) overview the track record of developments
> (especially from Europe) on emulation-for-preservation frameworks, and 3.)
> explore current efforts and emerging opportunities in emulation for all
> practitioners.

> Tuesday, May 21st -- Workshops
> 
> Islandora Workshop (Half day, morning)
> The Islandora project (islandora.ca) is growing steadily, with new
> functionality added with each release. The project has also grown beyond the
> traditional library borders, especially when it comes to the stewardship of
> research data. Islandora provides integration between Fedora and Drupal,
> with custom solution packs to address the needs of multiple data types and
> collections. This session will review the project's development and current
> features, exmples of productions sites, an update on the community and
> membership, as well as provide guidance for basic installation and
> configuration.
> 
> Speaker Bio: Mark Leggott is the founder of the Islandora project. As the UL
> for the University of Prince Edward Island, and the projects major
> architect. He has spoken at a number of conferences, and is the founder of
> the SAAS company (discoverygarden Inc.) providing services around Islandora
> software.
> 
> 
> The Digital Preservation Network (DPN) (Half day, afternoon) 
> 
> DPN is being built to serve as a preservation backbone for digital
> information for research and scholarship. It knits together a handful of
> large-scale preservation repositories, which provide reciprocal, "dark"
> archiving services to each other.  Together, the DPN Nodes form a
> heterogeneous network of secure, trustworthy digital archives, each operated
> under diverse geographical, organizational, financial, and technical
> regimes. Robust (bit) auditing and repair functions ensure the fixity of
> content over time. Intellectual property agreements ensure the succession of
> rights to use of the content through the Network in the event of dissolution
> or divestment of content by the original depositor and/or archive. This
> half-day session will provide a deep dive into the DPN design, architecture
> and service model. DPN Member organizations are especially encouraged to
> send technical representatives to this interactive workshop, to review,
> discuss and help season the emerging framework with DPN's core technical
> team.
