Tutorial on Hybrid Data Infrastructures: D4Science as a case studyBlue BRIDGE
An e-Infrastructure is a distributed network of service nodes, residing on multiple sites and managed by one or more organizations allowing scientists residing at distant places to collaborate. They may offer a multiplicity of facilities as-a-service, supporting data sharing and usage at different levels of abstraction. E-Infrastructures can have different implementations (Andronico et al 2011). A major distinction is between (i) Data e-Infrastructures, i.e. digital infrastructures promoting data sharing and consumption to a community of practice (e.g. MyOcean, Blanc 2008) and (ii) Computational e-Infrastructures, which support the processes required by a community of practice using GRID and Cloud computing facilities (e.g. Candela et al. 2013). A more recent type of e-Infrastructure is the Hybrid Data Infrastructure (HDI) (Candela et al. 2010), i.e. a Data and Computational e-Infrastructure that adopts a delivery model for data management, in which computing, storage, data and software are made available as-a-Service. HDIs support, for example, data transfer, data harmonization and data processing workflows. Hybrid Data e-Infrastructures have already been used in several European and international projects (e.g. i-Marine 2011; EuBrazil OpenBio 2011) and their exploitation is growing fast supporting new projects and initiatives, e.g. Parthenos, Ariadne, Descramble.
A particular HDI, named D4Science (Candela et al. 2009), has been used by communities of practice in the fields of biodiversity conservation, geothermal energy monitoring, fisheries management, and culture heritage. This e-Infrastructure hosts models and resources by several international organizations involved in these fields. Its capabilities help scientists to access and manage data, reuse data and models, obtain results in short time and share these results with other colleagues.

Lecture presented by Fernan R. Dizon at PAARL's Conference on the theme "The Power of Convergence: Technology and Connectivity in the 21st Century Library and Information Services" held on Nov. 11-13, 2009 at St Paul College, Pasig City
Presentation given on October 10, 2012 at the School of Information Management, Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University.
Abstract: Ensuring persistent access to digital content is a challenge confronting contemporary institutions of all types and sizes, regardless of professional, disciplinary or organizational context. Introduced in 2002, the term digital curation describes an array of principles, strategies and technical approaches for enabling the use and re-use of reliable and trusted digital content into the indefinite future. Trusted digital repositories have emerged as one strategy in response to today's digital curatorial challenges. Successful digital repository development and deployment necessitates coordination and collaboration among an array of actors, resources, and diverse, potentially divergent requirements. The literature contains an assortment of digital repository planning and best practice recommendations and resources, though reports on actual, as opposed to perceived or potential, roadblocks and obstacles are less reported. Drawing from a first-hand account of an extensive, multi-year digital curation and repository project at a major research university, this presentation provides an overview of what was done, including what worked and what didn’t, and resulting recommendations for advancing digital repository planning, implementation, and research.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

11. The Endorsement of Digitization as a
Preservation Strategy
• The Association of Research Libraries endorses digitization as
a preservation reformatting strategy (2004)
Digital conversion as one of the viable preservation options
Each preservation approach has limitations and strengths
The concerns of the preservation community are
addressed by emphasizing
The progress in standardization of file formats
The development of digitization standards and best practices
The commitment of the cultural heritage institutions to digital
stewardship and the preservation of digital objects
A growing experience in refreshing and migration of digital data.
11
12. Digitization as a Preservation Strategy:
Gaining Acceptance
• Digitization as means of preservation when other
preservation methods are not available
The Endangered Archive Programme (EAP) at the
British Library http://eap.bl.uk/
Established preservation methods such as microfilming or photo
duplication are not feasible
The lack of preservation methods in developing countries
Digitization projects undertaken primarily for preservation of
archival materials and manuscripts that are in danger of
destruction or physical deterioration
The EAP’s guidelines emphasize the quality of digital images and
standardized formats to facilitate long-term preservation of
digitized objects
12
13. Digitization as a Preservation Strategy:
Gaining Acceptance
• Library of Congress (LC) lists digitization as a preservation method
for at-risk archival materials among other options
Digitization as a method for preservation of film and audio
recorded on unstable media (Marcum, 2007)
National Audio-Visual Conservation Center
Dedicated to the preservation of audiovisual heritage in USA
Incorporates a variety of preservation workflows, including digital
conversion
13
14. Digitization as a Preservation Strategy:
The Shift in the Debate
• The shift from the emphasis on reformatting to the issues of
usefulness and quality of preserved items
Digitization for preservation defined as “activities that
result in the creation of digital products worthy of long-
term preservation ” (Conway, 2010)
• The dual nature of preservation
1. Slowing down the deterioration of archival materials
2. Restoring their usefulness as an information source
• Digitization as a preservation approach
Protects fragile and rare items
Captures and represents the content of deteriorating materials
Enhances the usefulness of digitized materials through aggregation,
item-level metadata, contextual information, and digital presentation

Technology advances, while sure to present
new challenges will also provide new solutions
for preserving digital content” (Arms, 2000).
19. Digital Curation
• A set of policies and techniques to ensure that digital
data are available and usable now and in the future
• Creating high quality digital objects of enduring value
Focus on managing digital objects from their creation
Enhancing the usefulness through valued-added
functions and preservation of digital objects
• Digital preservation represents an important aspect of
digital curation
19
Digital curation involves maintaining, preserving and
adding value to digital research data throughout its
lifecycle.
Digital Curation Centre (DCC): http://www.dcc.ac.uk/digital-
curation/what-digital-curation

• Creating digital objects of enduring value
Supporting current intended use and likely future use
The use-neutral approach with the notion of digital masters
and derivatives for immediate access
Adhering to digitization standards and best practices
Use of open, non-proprietary formats
Authenticating digital objects in regard to
Origin
Digital format
Providing item-level descriptive metadata and contextual
information
Developing an institutional approach to digital preservation
Setting up a policy for data backup, refreshment, and
migration
Establishing an infrastructure for digital preservation
Recording preservation metadata
Practicing responsible custody of digitized materials
Digital preservation needs to be active, dynamic, and ongoing
Digital Curation in the Context of Digitization
21. Dimensions of Digital Preservation
• Technological
“A range of managed activities to support the long-term
maintenance of bit streams to make sure that digital objects
are usable” (Rieger, 2008).
• Key issues
Preserving the media on which digital files (bit-stream) are recorded
Preserving the means of interpreting, reading, and utilizing the bit-
stream
• Digital preservation strategies
Refreshing
Migration
Emulation
• Infrastructure
Institutional or shared repositories

22. 22
A repository whose mission is to provide reliable, long-term
access to managed digital resources to its designated community,
now and in the future (RLG/OCLC, 2002)
Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model
Trusted Digital Repositories
23. Dimensions of Digital Preservation
• Contextual
“Digital preservation is about more than keeping the bits, those
streams of 1s and 0s that we use to represent information. It is
about maintaining the semantic meaning of the digital object and
its content, about maintaining its provenance and authenticity,
about retaining its ‘interrelatedness,’, and about securing
information about the context of its creation and use” (Ross,
2012).
• The lack of contextual information turns digital data into “a digital
cemetery”
Users have to be able to understand and interpret the bits to turn them into
useful information
• A new area of research
Users and contextual information in building digital preservation systems
(Chowdhury, 2010)
A Framework for Contextual Metadata Used in the Digital Preservation of
Cultural Objects (Beaudoin, 2012)
23
24. Conclusion
• Digitization can be considered a viable preservation strategy if
Original materials are fragile, damaged, or recorded on unstable analog
media
There is no other preservation method available
• It should be part of a comprehensive approach to access and preservation
Conservation efforts need to be applied to maintain original items
High-quality digital representations of deteriorating materials
• A renewed attention to preservation efforts, especially in the
area of visual resources, audio, and video
• Digitization should be undertaken as part of a larger digital
curation framework
Focus on enhancing the research value of digitized materials
Practice active digital preservation
Address multiple dimensions of digital preservation
• New directions in research on digital preservation 24
