Born digital archives refer to personal and corporate archives that are created and stored in digital formats, rather than physical formats. They typically include draft works, diaries, correspondence, photographs, and other digital files and objects. These archives pose challenges for preservation due to the variety of file formats, operating systems, and storage media used over time as technologies become obsolete. Institutions must address issues related to representing relationships within archives, scaling workflows, data protection, and educating users on access to these archives.

HCII2014 presentation
This document summarizes a study on the use of proprietary vs open-source file formats in Estonia's public sector. The study found that while Microsoft Office file formats like DOC and DOCX do not leak sensitive deleted information, they are often larger in size than open formats like ODT. Converting DOC files to ODT usually reduces file sizes. However, converting RTF files to ODT sometimes increases file sizes. The study concludes Estonia should encourage use of open formats to improve interoperability and reduce costs compared to proprietary solutions.
File management and data organisation
This document discusses file management and data organization. It covers moving and copying files between folders and storage devices, searching for files using wildcards, understanding different file formats, sorting files, and working with multiple applications simultaneously. The key topics covered are moving and copying files, searching for files in different ways, recognizing file extensions, sorting files by name, size and date, and opening multiple applications at once in Windows.

HLT 2013 - Triaging Foreign Language Documents for MEDEX by Brian Carrier
This document discusses triaging foreign language documents for digital forensics investigations. It presents two scenarios where examiners encounter non-English documents and need to prioritize them for limited translator resources. An ideal solution would provide English executive summaries of documents. The proposed solution uses named entity recognition to extract who, what, where information and identify people on watch lists. It also uses concept dictionaries to find discussed topics. This solution would be implemented as a module in the open source Autopsy digital forensics platform to help investigators navigate and tag priority documents.

Word Occurrence Based Extraction of Work Contributors from Statements of Resp...
Word Occurrence Based Extraction of Work Contributors from Statements of Resp...The European Library
This paper addresses the identification of all contributors of an intellectual work, when they are recorded in bibliographic data but in unstructured form. National bibliographies are very reliable on representing the first author of a work, but frequently, secondary contributors are represented in the statements of responsibility that are transcribed by the cataloguer from the book into the bibliographic records. The identification of work contributors mentioned in statements of responsibility is a typical motivation for the application of information extraction techniques. This paper presents an approach developed for the specific application scenario of the ARROW rights infrastructure being deployed in several European countries to assist in the determination of the copyright status of works that may not be under public domain. Our approach performed reliably in most languages and bibliographic datasets of at least one million records, achieving precision and recall above 0.97 on five of the six evaluated datasets. We conclude that the approach can be reliably applied to other national bibliographies and languages.Microsoft power point chapter 5 file edited
Files are used to store information permanently. There are two main types of files: text files and binary files. Text files store information in ASCII characters with each line separated by an end-of-line delimiter, while binary files store data in the same format as memory with no delimiters between lines. To work with files in Python, they must first be opened using the open() function, which returns a file object. This file object allows reading, writing, and manipulating file data using methods like read(), write(), readline(), and close().
Historical methods 2012
The document discusses the transition historians are facing with the explosion of information in non-durable digital formats and issues of reliability, accessibility, and preservation. It outlines the various media formats used historically for information storage from clay tablets to the internet and their characteristics like storage density and stability over time. The document also reviews tools available for locating historical resources, including catalogs, databases, and websites that provide access to primary sources, articles, and other materials.
Unlocking grey literature
This document provides an overview of grey literature and strategies for searching it. It defines grey literature as semi-published or unpublished work not produced by commercial publishers, such as reports, theses, and conference proceedings. Reasons to use grey literature include finding preliminary data and viewpoints not available in traditional publications. The document recommends search engines and repositories for finding grey literature, including BASE, OpenGrey, Google Scholar, and subject-specific databases. It provides tips for effective searching and examples of sources for different subject areas like social sciences, health, and government publications. Hands-on activities are suggested to allow people to practice searching grey literature resources.
Library Language: Vocabulary for the Modern Librarian
Speakers: Beth Ardner, Manager of Distributor Relations, Credo Reference; Deirdre Costello, Associate Platform Manager, Credo Reference
The age of librarians toiling away in dust and silence is long over - if it ever existed at all. Librarians are in touch with different groups almost constantly, and librarianship today requires some serious communication skills. Whether it's other librarians, administrators, users, publishers or vendors, librarians have to juggle several different vocabularies to make sure they're communicating as clearly as possible.
We'd like to draw on our sales, publishing, usability and web design experience to help build some guidelines and answer questions about communicating with some of these groups. This seminar will focus specifically on communicating with publishers, vendors and users, but we'd love to hear what you have to say about communication in libraries!

Opw presentation of open office-lgma
The Office of Public Works has adopted several open source software solutions including OpenOffice, Mozilla Thunderbird, Firefox, Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL, and GIMP. OpenOffice is now installed on all PCs to provide PDF creation and compatibility with Microsoft Office 2007 files. Over 800 staff now solely use OpenOffice while around 400 still use Microsoft Office 2003. The OPW was initially motivated by cost savings, standards compliance, and reducing dependence on proprietary software. Deployment involved pilot programs, training, and overcoming resistance from some staff. Lessons learned include the need for senior support, dedicated resources, training, and treating it as a change management project. Future possibilities include consolidating OpenOffice, adopting open source email and collaboration

MS-DOS was the dominant operating system for PCs in the 1980s and early 1990s. It was created by Microsoft and shipped with most personal computers. MS-DOS was a single-user, single-task operating system that provided basic functionality like loading programs into memory and managing I/O devices. Over time, versions of MS-DOS added features like support for larger storage devices and networking capabilities. By the early 1990s, graphical shells were introduced to improve the user experience of MS-DOS.

AntiForensics - Leveraging OS and File System Artifacts.pdf
The document discusses anti-forensics techniques that can be used to hide evidence on a hard drive and frustrate forensic investigations. It covers how tools like file wipers, log injectors, and timestamp manipulators can destroy artifacts and obscure timelines. It also details the operating system and file system artifacts that examiners can analyze, such as Prefetch files, Jump Lists, Volume Shadow Copies, and the MFT, to potentially detect the use of anti-forensics and recover deleted files and events. The document aims to help examiners understand criminal perspectives and common artifacts in order to catch anti-forensics activities.

Mahendra Mahey, manager of British Library Labs (BL Labs) will examine some of the BL’s digital collections/data & discuss challenges he has had in making the BL's cultural heritage data available openly or onsite at the British Library.
Mahendra will invite delegates to explore data-sets at their leisure, setting a challenge for those who are interested, skilled in exploring, finding patterns and grouping data. They could become data-set authors/creators of derived data-sets, based on pre-existing digital collections/data provided on the day or already available on https://data.bl.uk.
The workshop will conclude with reflections from the delegates and possibly highlighting a number derived data-sets that were generated by participants on the day that could now potentially exist on https://data.bl.uk. If selected, these new derived data-sets will be attributed with the creators' / authors' details and each will have its own cite-able Digital Object Identifier (D.O.I). These new data-sets would then be available for reuse by any researcher in the world.
GUIDANCE FOR THIS WORKSHOP
We strongly recommend you come to this workshop with an appropriate device such as a laptop pre-installed with appropriate tools to analayse different kinds of data-sets, e.g. Microsoft Excel may work with smaller data-sets such as metadata (see other data exploration tools below). If you don't have one, and would still like to attend, please request to 'pair up' with someone who is willing to share and has already signed up.
Other data exploration tools include: Notepad++ (e.g. for viewing text and XML); Open Refine (e.g. for cleaning data); Tableau Public (e.g. for visualising data); Google Fusion Tables (e.g for visualising geo-spatial data); Spacy (e.g. for text and data mining), RStudio (an open source Statistical package), MATLAB (data analysis tool) & NLTK (Natural Language processing).
Please note that this workshop is NOT about training you in using any of these tools, just tools you may be already familiar with to explore and find patterns in our data.
Datatypes you may be examining in this workshop could include: .ZIP, .PDF, .TXT, .CSV, .TSV. .XLS, .XLSX, RDF, .nt, XML (TEI, ALTO and bespoke), .JSON, .JPG, .JPEG, .TIFF and .WARC
Please ensure you are able to read these files on your device before the workshop if you are interested in exploring them during our session.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
