NDSA:Innovation Working Group

2013-03-11T18:06:13Z

Jpad: /* Meeting Schedule and Minutes */

== Statement of Purpose ==
By encouraging and sharing innovative methods of digital preservation practices and technologies, we plan to distribute, document, and share emerging concepts, while conducting and guiding research and development with engaged partners to find solutions where none exist.

== Current Action Team Projects ==

===[[NDSA:Annual Awards Team|Annual Recognition Awards]]===
This team is planning the first slate of annual awards, to be given out at next years July meeting. The group will pick the specific set of awards we want to accept nominations for, decide on how we want to do nominations, and presumably, make the decisions on who will win the first set of awards.
For more information, see this [http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/08/digital-preservations-got-talent-awarding-innovation-and-accomplishment/ blog post] on the awards project.

===[[NDSA:Broadening and Networking the Field of Research in Digital Preservation|Insights Interview series for Digital Preservation Blog]]===
Group members conduct interviews with individuals inside and outside of the organizations and specialties currently participating in the NDSA. Examples of potential related fields include but are not limited to, digital archeology/forensics, virtualization of programming environments, material sciences, and humanities computing. The interviews are published to the Library of Congress’ digital preservation blog. For an example of what this group does, see [http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/06/insights-interview-with-david-rosenthal the first interview with David Rosenthal].

===[[NDSA:Summer of code|NDSA Presence on Google Summer of Code]]===
Google summer of code connects student developers with mentor’s at organizations to write code for various open source software projects. This action team is focused on planning a coordinated presence for NDSA member open source software projects on Google’s Summer of Code project.

===[[NDSA:Storage ping|Storage Ping Technical Challenge]]===
The idea behind this project is to plan a ping service that could check on many of the features of preservation storage systems. This could include, average latency, bit integrity, up time for files, etc. The group will work on putting together a plan for how to implement this and the kinds of light weight polices that would need to be put in place to run such a technical benchmark.

See [[NDSA:Future projects]] for areas for the group to explore at a later date.

NDSA Innovations Working Group Call
Mar 04, 2013 2pm-3pm

==In Attendance==
*Ben Vershbow, New York Public Library
*Dan Dodge, Thomson Reuters
*Jane Mandelbaum, Library of Congress
*Jefferson Bailey, Metropolitan New York Library Council
*José “Ricky” Padilla, Intern- Library of Congress
*Shelia Morrissey, ITHAKA
*Trevor Owens, Library of Congress

==Innovation Insights Award==
*Prepare the page (change dates on existing page) and get people to start nominating
*Trevor: nominated the Pop-up Archive
*The WG should announce that we are looking for nominations
*Old list had decent bit of nominations but a lot
*Trevor and Ricky will update list
*Important to remember that nominees should still be alive
*Purpose of the Awards is to nominate projects from different fields or people that don’t already have many awards. People who normally wouldn't come to our attention

==Interviews==
*Interviews: Ongoing, Sheila SCAPE and DPC event. William Kilbride, Scape Project. Preservation at scale. All of interest.

==National Agenda document==
*Exciting research topics: up on the Draft version of the agenda on the wiki.
*Jane has been doing research to see what research is on digital preservation. Used Google scholar, not journal aggregates.

==Speaker Series==
*Speaker series: Funders idea discussed with analogy of speed dating
*SWAT: Conversations on this, around the NYPL space.
**Lots of agreement that this would be a good thing to do – media archeology lab in NYPL collaborate with metro. Possibility to do this out at long island city location. Possibility for NYU ITP and or CUNY. Pratt’s campus (Might be a good idea to separate out getting the work done in NYPL’s long island place, and having smaller space at NYPL for public programming.)
**Should look for alternatives of NYPL as space provider (speak to Don about this)

==Digital Preservation Stack Exchange==
*Last mentioned 10 months ago
*Move of private beta and into public
*Already has near 70 questions
*WG asked to think of ways to get more people involved
**Possibility is to incentivize like an invite get to go to a conference or we interview that person
*WG should think of different listservs that could add to this and send it to them
**Some lists are TADA, Photographers association, SNIA, ELDB, and AMIA
*Suggested that we advertise to people in DAM works (including students), science data management, and traditional conservation preservation community.
*See if Lori Emerson and more Digital Humanities people can pass it around

==Other Notes==
*Partnership with e-recycling to buy old hardware off them really cheap
*Think of new digital preservation pedagogical work (it would be hypothetical work to then be applied)
**Wait for after the agenda
**WG has heard discontent about digital preservation grad programs. Area could need some innovation

'''On the Call:'''

* Andrea Goethals, Harvard University
* Andy Aston, Brown University
* Chris Miller
* Christopher “Cal” Lee, UNC
* John Spencer, BMS Chase
* Emily Shaw, U of Iowa
* Gail Truman, Truman Technologies
* Jane Mandelbaum, Library of Congress
* Jefferson Bailey- Metropolitan New York Library Council
* José “Ricky” Padilla- LoC intern
* Karen Cariani, WGBH
* Mark Myers- Kentucky State Archive
* Micah Altman- MIT
* Nicholas Taylor- Library of Congress
* Trevor Owens- Library of Congress

==Presentations vs calls==
* Trevor asked if the presentations were a good way for us to work. John said he liked the presentations from the OSS vendors.
* Coordinating comm report on top issues relating to presentations.
* Next presentations:
** February 26 Fedora 2 pm
** Hydra March 19 3 pm ET
* Group was asked to think about what are really big infrastructure issues for preservation for us to discuss. If there were other ideas for open source software projects or initiatives?
* Other options for presentations were:
** Bit Curator (Cal Lee said he would be fine with presenting it)
** OpenRefine (formerly Google Refine)
** DPLA open source (good to hear more about what they are creating)

==2014 National Agenda for Digital Stewardship==
* Micah mentioned favor for the presentations and raised the preservation agenda question.
** He was concerned this working group hadn’t contributed to the Agenda so far.
* Explained Agenda as a nationwide agenda covering 1,3,5 year emerging issues in technology and other
* Put on agenda for this group for the March 26 call.
* Trevor said he will pull out chunk of Agenda that seems most Infrastructure related.
* Andrea said she will send out the notes from the Standards group wiki on brainstorming related to the NDSA agenda.

==2013 Storage Survey==
* Rerun Survey to collect data again.
** Decision to rerun survey every 2 years.
** Last survey was run from August 2011 – November 2011
** Ricky will send the past survey questions to be reviewed; followed by the survey report
* Survey review and refinement
** Enough changes that it could be useful.
** Some questions were confusing – so we’d want to refine those.
** Micah said we should start uniting our efforts to begin refining the survey and building a conversation around it.
** He also suggested we wait for D-Lib’s feedback before we start seriously working on the revision of the survey questions
* Plan to target organizations outside the NDSA members
** John wants more of a response from the commercial side.
*** He suggested we invite them to the September meeting
** It was suggested we should think about what population we are generalizing to. What are museums and archives doing to some extent? Can we identify a reduced set of key questions and get it off to NDSA members about where they are into the range of communities. Where are we in relation to these other communities?
** Discussed that only an additional 10-15 non NDSA members could probably be added.
** The Interesting potential organizations to include that were mentioned were:
*** MLB (Not just vendors with products but folks with content. Also MLB best use of high data coming in at a high rate)
*** Disney and Universal (they are doing top to bottom asset survey as to how they are dealing with their assets so they may be interested in the survey)
** Trevor proposed to get membership organizations, and get their lists to target for survey. Options that were mentioned are:
*** ARL
*** SAA
*** NASCIO
*** AMIA
* It was decided that the preliminary results should be ready for the storage meeting in September.
** At the meeting we could ask for people to respond to the survey and those who haven’t filled it out could (data from these late survey was suggested to be less significant than the data already obtained by that time)

NDSA:Infrastructure Working Group

2013-01-31T19:03:34Z

Jpad: /* Meeting Schedule and Minutes */

== Statement of Purpose ==
The Infrastructure Working Group works to build a community of sharing information and best practices about the development and maintenance of tools and systems for the curation, preservation, storage, hosting, migration, and similar activities for the long term preservation of digital content.

== Call Information ==
For our monthly calls here is the call in information:
* Call-in number: 866-469-3239
* Participant Access Code: 21408589

==Current Work Objectives==
*[[NDSA:Open Source Software]] Investigate, share, and recognize emerging practices for use and development and sharing of open source tools and other software that enable digital preservation.
*[[NDSA:Discussions on Preservation Storage Topics]]: Summaries and salient points from the WG's bi-weekly open conversation on detailed aspects of preservation storage. Topics discussed: encryption, (others forthcoming).
* Storage Survey: For the first year the group's primary project was an exploration of member's approaches to storage. We began with an exploration of cloud providers, see [[NDSA:Cloud Presentations]]. From there we developed a set of [[NDSA:Qualitative Storage Questions]] which 10 members responded to. From there we developed and implemented a survey of the members: [[NDSA:Media:Draft_storage_survey_v3.pdf|Draft Storage Survey]]. The final report and a series of blog posts on this project are still being finalized.

==Potential Future Projects==
*Investigate, share, and recognize emerging practices for use and development of computer forensic tools that enable digital preservation.
*Encourage communities with highly specialized needs (e.g., geospatial, datasets, observational data) to develop storage networks or access services that can serve the entire community.

==Participation==
Participation in the Infrastructure [[NDSA:Terms#Working_Group|Working Group]] is restricted to NDSA member organizations. Contact co-chairs Karen Cariani and [mailto:trow@loc.gov Trevor Owens] to join the working group.

Participants in the working group will participate in working group phone calls, undertake tasks to help the working group accomplish goals, and be active in helping accomplish the goals of the working group.

[[NDSA:Terms#Action_Team|Action Teams]] may be created around specific tasks. These Action Teams may be self organized by members of the working group and may include non-NDSA members as the work requires. Non-NDSA members will not be participants in the Working Group but may contribute to the activities of any Action Team. Action Teams will update the Working Group about their accomplishments and progress.
