Esther Adamu submitted a document on her seminar topic of digital preservation. Digital preservation aims to ensure continued access to digital materials by addressing issues like format obsolescence. Key strategies include migration, emulation, and checksums. Examples of digital preservation efforts are the Internet Archive, Digital Public Library of America, and NASA Planetary Data System. Digital preservation is important for cultural heritage, knowledge continuity, and research. Challenges include format obsolescence, costs, and legal/ethical concerns. The field has evolved with technological advances and increased collaboration. Further changes will be needed to address new content types and legal/ethical issues.
Data hosting infrastructure for primary biodiversity data
Today, an unprecedented volume of primary biodiversity data are being generated worldwide, yet significant amounts of these data have been and will continue to be lost after the conclusion of the projects tasked with collecting them. To get the most value out of these data it is imperative to seek a solution whereby these data are rescued, archived and made available to the biodiversity community. To this end, the biodiversity informatics community requires investment in processes and infrastructure to mitigate data loss and provide solutions for long-term hosting and sharing of biodiversity data.
We review the current state of biodiversity data hosting and investigate the technological and sociological barriers to proper data management. We further explore the rescuing and re-hosting of legacy data, the state of existing toolsets and propose a future direction for the development of new discovery tools. We also explore the role of data standards and licensing in the context of data hosting and preservation. We provide five recommendations for the biodiversity community that will foster better data preservation and access: (1) encourage the community’s use of data standards, (2) promote the public domain licensing of data, (3) establish a community of those involved in data hosting and archival, (4) establish hosting centers for biodiversity data, and (5) develop tools for data discovery.
The community’s adoption of standards and development of tools to enable data discovery is essential to sustainable data preservation. Furthermore, the increased adoption of open content licensing, the establishment of data hosting infrastructure and the creation of a data hosting and archiving community are all necessary steps towards the community ensuring that data archival policies become standardized.

Global biodiversity data is critical for conservation, policymaking, and scientific research. However, most data is held by small, isolated publishers and is difficult to access. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) aims to mobilize this "small data" by creating common data standards and tools to publish data through its Integrated Publishing Toolkit. This allows data to be discovered through GBIF's portal and used for applications like predicting climate change impacts and invasive species spread. GBIF calls on all data holders to publish their data openly through its framework to build a comprehensive global resource for biodiversity data.

ONLINE EDUCATIONAL INCIDENT RESPONSE TRAINING: VIRTUAL WORLDS AS A COST EFFEC...
Critical incident leadership and planning is an important topic in the field of homeland security. Within this field are many challenges. For the purposes of this forum only two shall be discussed. The two challenges related to critical incident leadership and planning is the ability to learn in a simulated environment and funding. The first challenge surrounds learning as there is a significant cost associated in providing a real life scenarios where employees can learn. Employees need to understand how they should react in a simulated process to ensure that they can perform in the real event. This simulated scenario also allows an independent group to measure the effectiveness of the incident response manager. An inexpensive and effective method to do this would be through the
utilization of Second Life (SL). SL is one of the most popular virtual world provides a unique and secure teaching and learning environment for instructors and students. This learning environment could be designed to be private for a specific response group or incident where each avatar assigned to a unique name could include the name of group name that the individual is belong to. The second issue,
which surrounds funding, directly correlates with the capabilities and readiness to respond to a group. To properly correct this one would need to find a method to assign funding needs to risks or events that are most likely to occur.

Digital preservation aims to maintain access to digital materials over time despite changes in technology. It faces challenges such as the obsolescence of storage technologies, instability of storage media, and maintaining the integrity of digital materials. Recommendations include starting preservation close to creation to ensure future access and increasing awareness of preservation techniques. While skepticism remains, institutions like the Library and Archives of Canada are mandated to preserve digital heritage for present and future generations through continued migration to new technologies and formats.
A survey on privacy preserving data publishing
Data mining is a computational process of analysing and extracting the data from large useful datasets. In
recent years, exchanging and publishing data has been common for their wealth of opportunities. Security,
Privacy and data integrity are considered as challenging problems in data
mining.Privacy is necessary to protect people’s interest in competitive situations. Privacy is an abilityto
create and maintain different sort of social relationships with people. Privacy Preservation is one of the
most important factor for an individual since he should not embarrassed by an adversary. The Privacy
Preservation is an important aspect of data mining to ensure the privacy by various methods. Privacy
Preservation is necessary to protect sensitive information associated with individual. This paper provides a
survey of key to success and an approach where individual’s privacy would to be non-distracted.
iEvoBio Keynote Talk 2010
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for discovering and documenting biodiversity in the current information age. It argues that current taxonomic processes are too slow and that new approaches are needed to integrate distributed data sources and leverage community contributions. Specifically, it proposes:
1) Publishing new biodiversity data prior to formal documentation to accelerate discovery.
2) Developing automated workflows and online workspaces to integrate phylogenetic, distribution, and trait data.
3) Enabling community participation through open data sharing and collaborative annotation platforms.

The document discusses the issue of uneven distribution of biodiversity data around the world, with much of the data held by small publishers and citizen scientists. It notes that these "small data publishers" face challenges in discovering, accessing, managing and publishing their data according to standards. The document calls for developing standards and tools that make it easier for small data publishers to capture, organize and share their biodiversity data in order to help mobilize this important but hard to access data.
Meeting the NSF DMP Requirement June 13, 2012
The document provides guidance on developing a data management plan (DMP) to meet requirements for National Science Foundation grant proposals. It discusses the context and rationale for federal data policies, defines the key elements required for a DMP, and provides examples of DMPs for different types of research data. The main points are: understanding the NSF data policy aims to increase research impact and data sharing/reuse; a DMP must address the types of data generated, metadata standards, data access/sharing plans, long-term preservation, and associated costs; and good planning helps ensure data remains accessible, usable and preserved into the future. Resources and guidance are available to help researchers develop robust and fundable DMPs.

This document proposes a refinement of the slicing anonymization technique for privacy-preserving data mining. Slicing anonymization has been shown to effectively preserve data quality while achieving high data privacy. The proposed refinement aims to achieve even higher data utility and more secure data publishing through probabilistic non-homogeneous suppression and consideration of attribute correlations. The results of applying the technique to election data are analyzed using standard classification metrics to validate that the refined approach maintains high data quality and strong privacy preservation.
Session 4 KE4CAP Pres1 bo dwyer-ke4_cap_canada
This document discusses user-oriented climate adaptation platforms and approaches to integrating user needs. It defines climate services as providing climate products or advice to assist decision-making. Traditionally, climate services took a top-down approach, but now focus on understanding user contexts and specifying requirements. Meeting user needs involves tailoring information, evolving user capacities over time, and adapting to evolving policy requirements. Key approaches discussed are web-based information provision, capacity building, and direct policy support.
Resilience by Usable Security
Resilience is introduced as the new security goal supported with security/safety-related information by data-centric services for predictive risk management in real-time. Secondary use of personal information is of essential importance. The problem is that data-centric services threaten resilience. Although privacy as a state of equilibrium and its enforcement with usable security by identity management aims actually at decreasing users’ own risk, its use by data-centric services for unilateral information flow control threatens privacy and resilience. Users lose control on their identity while at the same time competitiveness of in particular small and medium service providers is endangered due to reliable statements on authentication of derived information. Self-protection, however, depends on opposite security interests. This talk claims that Multilateral Security improves privacy and resilience by a multilateral secondary use of personal security-related information for distributed usage control. This kind of privacy is understood as informational self-determination whereas the key concept is non-linkable delegation of rights on secondary use of personal information.

Ensuring that an organisation's digital assets are safe, secure and accessible for the long term should (in theory) be an interesting, responsible and useful role for anyone in an organisation to accept. The critical importance of digital assets, the ubiquity of digital methods and the need for people in all walks of life to have effective means to refer to persistent sources of data reinforce this notion. How is it then that long-term asset management, information lifecycle management, data curation, digital preservation (call it what you will) is often regarded as a peripheral specialist activity that it is diffcult to resource, complex to carry out, and delivers benefits that are, at best, simply an insurance policy rather than an activity that adds value to an organisation?
This presentation will examine the importance of defining clear roles for those involved with digital preservation and will consider the importance of associating this professional activity with strategic and tactical frameworks. It is likely that automated services will increasingly be required to deal with the collosal amount of digital information that will be produced and consumed over the next century and whilst the type and nature of these services are yet to be defined, we can be fairly certain of one endurng requirement, namely, that human judgement will always be needed to curate interesting and useful content for future generations.
Open Source Software for Digital Preservation Repositories : A Survey
In the digital age, the amount of data produced is growing exponentially. Governments and institutions can no longer rely on old methods for storing data and passing on the knowledge to future generations. Digital data preservation is a mandatory issue that needs proper strategies and tools. With this awareness, efforts are being made to create and perfect software solutions capable of responding to the challenge of properly preserving digital information. This paper focuses on the state-of-the-art in open-source software solutions for the digital preservation and curation field used to assimilate and disseminate information to designated audiences. Eleven open source projects for digital preservation are surveyed in areas such as supported standards and protocols, strategies for preservation, methodologies for reporting, dynamic of development, targeted operating systems, multilingual support and open source license. Furthermore, five of these open
source projects, are further analysed, with focus on features deemed important for the area. Along open source solutions, the paper also briefly surveys the standards and protocols relevant for digital data preservation. The area of digital data preservation repositories has several open source solutions, which can form the base to overcome the challenges to reach mature and reliable digital data preservation.

Drivers, trends and pressures from emissions to air polution
Drivers, trends and pressures from emissions to air polutionEnvironmental Protection Agency, Ireland
This document summarizes a presentation by Professor Jacqueline McGlade from the European Environment Agency on drivers of air pollution and trends in emissions. It discusses many factors influencing air quality like population growth, energy use, and urbanization. While air pollution has decreased in some countries, emissions exceed limits in 8 EU states. New science shows Europe is still catching up on air quality. The document outlines tools and data used to monitor changes and manage natural resources. It promotes sharing data through open access platforms to better support policy and engage citizens in monitoring air quality.EDAM Intro

Caring for Digital Collections in the Anthropocene
The craft of digital preservation and digital collections care is anchored in the past. It builds off the records, files, and works of those who came before us and those who designed and set up the systems that enable the creation, transmission, and rendering of their work. At the same time, the craft of digital preservation is also the work of a futurist. We must look to the past trends in the ebb and flow of the development of digital media and hedge our bets on how digital technologies of the future will play out. This talk explores key issues for exploring and imagining that future. We start with consideration of some key emerging technologies relevant to digital collections and then zoom out to consider the future of digital collections in the context of technologies of surveillance, precarity of both cultural heritage institutions and cultural heritage workers in the context of neoliberalism, and then explore the broad set of challenges facing the future of collections stemming from the increasing effects of anthropogenic climate change. Drawing on frameworks for maintenance, care, and repair this talk concludes with an opportunity to reflect on and consider how memory and information workers should approach the digital present and future of our institutions and professions.
Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation Lightning Talk
I’m thrilled and honored to be a finalist for the Dutch Digital Heritage Network Award for Teaching and Communications for my book, The Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation. This is particularly significant to me for two reasons. First, I started out on this book directly as a teaching and communications effort and second because the international digital preservation community that DPC supports and encourages has been so vital in helping me develop and refine the ideas in this book. For this talk, I’m going to give a little context of where the book came from, how it was developed, and the overwhelming response I’ve received for it all of which I think make it a good fit for this particular award.

This paper focuses on the state-of-the-art in open-source software solutions for the digital preservation and curation field used to assimilate and disseminate information to designated audiences. Eleven open source projects for digital preservation are surveyed in areas such as supported standards and protocols, strategies for preservation, methodologies for reporting, dynamic of development, targeted operating systems, multilingual support and open source license. Furthermore, five of these open
source projects, are further analysed, with focus on features deemed important for the area. Along open source solutions, the paper also briefly surveys the standards and protocols relevant for digital data preservation. The area of digital data preservation repositories has several open source solutions, which can form the base to overcome the challenges to reach mature and reliable digital data preservation.

Caring for Digital Collections in the Anthropocene
The craft of digital preservation and digital collections care is anchored in the past. It builds off the records, files, and works of those who came before us and those who designed and set up the systems that enable the creation, transmission, and rendering of their work. At the same time, the craft of digital preservation is also the work of a futurist. We must look to the past trends in the ebb and flow of the development of digital media and hedge our bets on how digital technologies of the future will play out. This talk explores key issues for exploring and imagining that future. We start with consideration of some key emerging technologies relevant to digital collections and then zoom out to consider the future of digital collections in the context of technologies of surveillance, precarity of both cultural heritage institutions and cultural heritage workers in the context of neoliberalism, and then explore the broad set of challenges facing the future of collections stemming from the increasing effects of anthropogenic climate change. Drawing on frameworks for maintenance, care, and repair this talk concludes with an opportunity to reflect on and consider how memory and information workers should approach the digital present and future of our institutions and professions.
Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation Lightning Talk
I’m thrilled and honored to be a finalist for the Dutch Digital Heritage Network Award for Teaching and Communications for my book, The Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation. This is particularly significant to me for two reasons. First, I started out on this book directly as a teaching and communications effort and second because the international digital preservation community that DPC supports and encourages has been so vital in helping me develop and refine the ideas in this book. For this talk, I’m going to give a little context of where the book came from, how it was developed, and the overwhelming response I’ve received for it all of which I think make it a good fit for this particular award.

This document outlines an approach for the future of library practice that centers design thinking and scholarship. It argues that libraries are vital infrastructure for developing and disseminating knowledge and must grow and learn through dynamic applied research. The document recommends adopting user-centered design as a guiding framework, holistically mapping library ecosystems, developing a well-defined toolkit for projects, and using an iterative approach like Scrum. It also emphasizes considering values and impacts on the entire system level. Next steps include reframing work as places for experimentation, making design the focus of scholarship, including values in practice, and exploring Scrum for organizing teams.
We Have Interesting Problems: Some Applied Grand Challenges from Digital Libr...
Libraries, Archives and Museums now have massive digital
holdings. There is tremendous potential for library and
information science, computer science and computer engineering
researchers to partner with cultural heritage institutions and
make our digital cultural record more useful and usable. In
particular, there is a significant need to bridge basic research in
areas such as computer vision, crowdsourcing, natural language
processing, multilingual OCR, and machine learning to make this
work directly usable in the practices of cultural heritage
institutions. In this talk, I discuss a series of exemplar projects,
largely funded through the Institute of Museum and Library
Services National Digital Platform initiative, that illustrate some
key principles for building applied research partnerships with
cultural heritage institutions. Building on Ben Schniderman’s
The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough
Collaborations, I focus specifically on why the public purpose
and missions of cultural heritage institutions are particularly
valuable in establishing new kinds of collaborations that can
simultaneously advance basic research and the ability for people
of the world to engage with their cultural record.
Start Today: Digital Stewardship Communities & Collaborations
The increasingly digital records of our communities and our organizations require all of us to become digital stewardship and digital preservation practitioners. The challenge seems daunting but the good news is we don’t have to do it alone. A distributed network of practitioners and learners across the country are increasingly finding ways to learn together and share and pool their resources to tackle these challenges and provide enduring access to our digital heritage. Owens’ talk will provide examples of how archivists are rising to the challenge and practical guidance for both digital preservation beginners and experts.
Scientists’ Hard Drives, Databases, and Blogs: Preservation Intent and Source...
Carl Sagan’s WordPerfect files, simulations emailed to Edward Lorenz, a database application from the National Library of Medicine, a collection of science blogs, a database of interstellar distances; each of these digital artifacts have been acquired by archives and special collections. Born digital primary sources are no longer a future concern for archivists, librarians, curators and historians. As historians of science turn their attention to the late 20th and early 21st century, they will need to work from these born-digital primary sources. We have already accumulated a significant born digital past and it’s time for work with born digital primary sources to become mainstream. This presentation will give a quick tour of individual born digital artifacts toward two goals. First, I argue for the need for archivists, curators and librarians to reflexively develop approaches to establishing preservation intent for digital content grounded in a dialog with the nature of a given set of digital objects and it’s future research use. Second, for historians, I suggest how trends in computational analysis of information in the digital humanities should be combined with approaches from digital forensics and new media studies to establish historiographic practices for born-digital source criticism. I conclude by suggesting the kinds of technical skills archivists, librarians, curators and historians working with these materials are going to need to develop. Just as historians working with premodern documents require language and paleography skills, historians working with digital artefacts will increasingly need to understand the inscription processes of hard drives, the provenance created by web crawlers, and how to read relational databases of varying vintages.
Platform Thinking: Frameworks for a National Digital Platform State of Mind
Talk presented as a closing keynote to the Biodiversity Heritage Library's National Digital Stewardship Residency program meeting at the National Museum of Natural History. This talk reviews the National Digital Platform framework developed by US IMLS in collaboration with various library, archives and museum stakeholders and presents a series of additional conceptual frameworks on the role of software in society and psychology.
Digital Infrastructures that Embody Library Principles: The IMLS national dig...
Digital library infrastructures must not simply work. They must also manifest the core principles of libraries and archives. Since 2014, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has engaged with stakeholders from diverse library communities to consider collaborative approaches to building digital library tools and services. The “national digital platform” for libraries, archives, and museums is the framework that resulted from these dialogs. One key feature of the national digital platform (NDP) is the anchoring of core library principles within the development of digital tools and services. This essay explores how NDP-funded projects enact library principles as part of the national framework.
The IMLS National Digital Platform & Your Library: Tools You Can Use
As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.
Update on IMLS National Digital Platform
Slides for the DLF and NDSA conferences in Milwaukee with an update on opportunities for funding digital library projects at IMLS
Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital Platform
This keynote, at the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference, provides and update on the National Digital Platform and 20 projects supported to enhance it. The national digital platform is a way of thinking about and approaching the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the US. In this sense, it is the combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the US. As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to digital content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. It is possible for each library in the country to leverage and benefit from the work of other libraries in shared digital services, systems, and infrastructure.
We need to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure, for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. To this end, IMLS is focusing on the national digital platform as an area of priority in the National Leadership Grants to Libraries program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program. We are eager to explore how this way of thinking and approaching infrastructure development can help states make the best use of the funds they receive through the Grants to States program. We’re also eager to work with other foundations and funders to maximize the impact of our federal investment
Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital Platform
This document summarizes projects funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) related to developing a National Digital Platform. It describes 7 projects improving open source digital library software tools and communities, 4 projects focused on scaling up shared services, 2 applied research projects related to collections at scale, and 3 projects aimed at improving access for all and inclusion. It provides brief descriptions and links to more information for each of the 20 projects. The overall goal is to expand the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the United States by prioritizing promising digital tools and services.
People, Communities and Platforms: Digital Cultural Heritage and the Web
Libraries, archives and museums are sites of community memory. The first public computerized bulletin board system was called community memory. Trevor’s talk will explore the connections between the development of the web as a global knowledge base, the open source software movement, and digital strategy for libraries, archives and museums. This keynote talk will synthesize research on the history of online community software with practical experience working on open source digital library projects. This exploration underscores the essential role cultural heritage institutions need to play in this era of the web and some important distinctions between how the concept of community is deployed in discussions of the web.

Digital Preservation's Role in the Future of the Digital Humanities
Slides from an invited presentation I gave to the University of Pittsburgh's iSchool.
"Ensuring long term access to digital information sounds like a technical problem. It seems like digital preservation should be a computer science problem. Far from it. In this lecture Trevor Owens, a digital archivist at the Library of Congress argues that digital preservation is in fact a core problem and issue at the heart of the future of the digital humanities. Bringing together perspectives from the history of technology, new media studies, public history, and archival theory, he suggests the critical role that humanities scholars and practitioners should play in framing and shaping the collection, organization, description, and modes of access to the historically contingent digital material records of contemporary society."

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
