10291 Abstracts Collection – Automation in Digital Preservation

Authors: Jean-Pierre Chanod, Vittore Casarosa, Milena Dobreva, Andreas Rauber, and Seamus Ross

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10291, Automation in Digital Preservation (2010)


Abstract
Digital Preservation has evolved into a specialized, interdisciplinary research discipline of its own, seeing significant increases in terms of research capacity, results, but also challenges. However, with this specialization and subsequent formation of a dedicated subgroup of researchers active in this field, limitations of the challenges addressed can be observed. Digital preservation research may seem to react to problems arising, fixing problems that exist now, rather than proactively researching new solutions that may be applicable only after a few years of maturing. Recognising the benefits of bringing together researchers and practitioners with various professional backgrounds related to digital preservation, a seminar was organized in Schloss Dagstuhl, at the Leibniz Center for Informatics (18-23 July 2010), with the aim of addressing the current digital preservation challenges, with a specific focus on the automation aspects in this field. The main goal of the seminar was to outline some research challenges in digital preservation, providing a number of “research questions” that could be immediately tackled, e.g. in Doctoral Thesis. The seminar intended also to highlight the need for the digital preservation community to reach out to IT research and other research communities outside the immediate digital preservation domain, in order to jointly develop solutions.

On the Notion of Genre in Digital Preservation

Authors: Fiorella Foscarini, Yunhyong Kim, Christopher A. Lee, Alexander Mehler, Gillian Oliver, and Seamus Ross

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10291, Automation in Digital Preservation (2010)


Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the notion of genre as a basis for addressing the problem of context representation in digital preservation. We outline several reference points for the notion of genre. This includes a review of diplomatic principles that can support and enhance the power of genre as a key to capture information about context relations. Further, we discuss the impact of open genre models and open topic models in information retrieval and finally present a list of research questions concerning future research in automation of digital preservation.
