DANS workshop over betrouwbare digitale opslag
Op 30 januari 2009 organiseert Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) in Den Haag een (Engelstalige) workshop onder de titel: ‘Towards Trusted Digital Archives for Social Science and Humanities Data’.
‘The workshop focuses on guaranteeing the quality and trustworthiness of digital archives for research data, in particular in the social sciences and humanities. Over the past few years various initiatives have attempted to formulate guidelines and/or best practices for a ‘trusted digital repository’, such as DRAMBORA, TRAC, NESTOR and the Data Seal of Approval (DSA).
The central theme of this workshop is the applicability of these guidelines in the social sciences and humanities. What is needed to accomplish trusted digital archives and do the presently existing guidelines fulfill that need? Which issues are still missing? And how do we implement the guidelines?
In this workshop de 17 DSA guidelines, which are specifically designed for data archives in the humanities and social sciences, will be taken as a starting point for the discussion. For more information see: www.datasealofapproval.org.
