Hi Matt and all,
ÂÂÂ For reference the FORCE11 discussion on "machine accessible
data" has led to a recommendation document being considered for
publication here:
https://peerj.com/preprints/697/
It's not highly prescriptive (intended to be flexible given
different needs of different communities of researchers) but the
section "RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACHIEVING MACHINE ACCESSIBILITY" has
some specific recommendations that would be good for any "digital
archive" to follow - on assigning unique identifiers, providing a
"landing page" and metadata in various formats from that point,
including DCAT etc.
Also if any of you have any feedback on these recommendations I
can forward them to the authors.
ÂÂ Arthur

Subject: [iROD-Chat:13083] Announcing iRODS Digital Archive
Working Group
To: " irod-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
< irod-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I'm pleased to announce
creation of the iRODS Digital Archive Working Group.
This will be the first topic-specific iRODS working
group, with more to follow.
The working group will be
creating an iRODS-based reference implementation of a
digital archive. This is a forum for members to
contribute their opinions about what features and
structure the implementation should have, with the
eventual outcome of code, templates, documents, a
cookbook, VM images, and any other materials that would
help someone begin to set up a digital repository using
iRODS.
We have brought together a core group of experts to
begin the conversation:
Jeremy Frumkin, University of Arizona Libraries
Dave Pcolar, Digital Preservation Network
Chris Jordan, Texas Advanced Computing Center
Matthias Grawinkel, Everbit and University of
Mainz
We are working to schedule an introductory Google
Hangout next week. I will post details here and on the
new Google Group once scheduled.
If you're interested in participating, please
register with the Google Group. Please recommend
others to the group as well.
Thank you,
Dan Bedard
