This half day workshop was presented by ANDS on 8 November, 2010 at eResearch Australasia 2010.
The workshop was planned as an introduction to data sustainability and the issue of keeping research data available and useable for the long-term. The archives community has been dealing for many decades with the general problem of archiving records, and archival work is underpinned by a body of theoretical and conceptual principles. These principles apply to any sort of information, be it documents, records or data.
The workshop provided an overview of archival principles and practices for sustainability which can be used by institutions which intend to curate research data, and demonstrated the relationship between these and the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) framework.
Speakers
Dr Andrew C Wilson, Queensland State Archives. Archival principles and data sustainability
Gavan McCarthy, The University of Melbourne. Data Sustainability: applying archival practice to research data
Stuart Hungerford, Australian National Data Service (ANDS). Data Sustainability Case Study (PARADISEC)
