[snca-list] NHPRC Electronic Records Research Symposium Tomorrow!

[Helen Tibbo]

Dear NC Archivists,
  Please join us! Tomorrow, Friday November 16, for the 2006-2007 National
Historic Publications and Records Commission-funded Electronic Records
Research Fellowships program symposium (http://ils.unc.edu/nhprcfellows).
This years' Fellows will present the results of their research projects at a
symposium to be held at the Wilson Library on the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. Registration at 8:30; welcome at 9:00;
finishing approximately 4:30. Due to the gracious support of NHPRC, there is
no fee for this symposium but it would help us estimate the food for breaks
if attendees would register online at http://sils.unc.edu/news/nhprc/.


Reagan Moore & Richard Marciano, from the San Diego Supercomputing Center
will speak on "The Evolution of Data Curation: Towards Policy-driven
Collection Management". 
Abstract:
---------
Preservation can be thought of as communication with the future.  We know
that the future will use new storage systems, new representation
information, and provide new services.  Preservation is also the management
of communication from the past.  We want to make assertions about
authenticity, integrity, and chain of custody based on prior management
policies.  Policy-driven collection management such as the integrated
Rule-based Data system (iRODS) addresses both challenges.  The iRODS data
system implements data curation processes as micro-services that can be
migrated to new storage systems over time.  iRODS implements management
policies as rules that control the execution of the micro-services.  The
rule system can be updated dynamically, can be tuned to express each
community's management policies, and enforces periodic validations of
assertions about collection properties.

(RFPSMA), administered by the Bentley Historical Library of the University
of Michigan and supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, 1983-1998, and
