Clearinghouse/Group B Report Out

Glen gave a report on the activities of NDSA:Clearinghouse Action Team (Group B). They had a call last week and continued to brainstorm on the list of at-risk content. Next step is to define categories, group things, refine descriptions, and identify stakeholders. Kristine and Glen will work on that, they welcome others to help. Still a question of what we mean by at-risk; what is valuable or not.

Cathy mentioned that Mark is working with a group at Los Alamos National Laboratory on analysis of links and different kinds of content. This work is showing gaps in what has been preserved. They are working on a paper. Cathy will send contact information to Kristine and Glen in case they want to follow up.

Martha said that while NSF has a focus on taking care of data sets created through funding, there's a real gap in preservation of data sets that are not NSF funded. There is a grey area about who would care for that. She said they had a White House visitor recently that was looking at Health data related to this topic.

Content Registry Group A Report Out

Daniel reported on the NDSA:Content Registry Action Team task to identify existing registry projects. Rachel, Abbie, Arlene, Christie worked to compile the list of 14 sites, available here: http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Existing_Registry_Projects . All agreed that that likely exhausted the effort to locate.

His initial take shows that three focus on digital preservation, others might be about digital preservation, and the rest are digitization clearinghouses. We need to group the entries, possible groupings include digitization vs. preservation, or born-digital vs. digitized collections. Grouping by content type and geography was also discussed.

Daniel reviewed the workplan for Group A. Step 1 is complete, Step 2 is basically covered by the ALA definition of what's preserved that was discussed previously. Next step is to take the list of registries and figure out how many NDSA members are represented in each registry. If NDSA members are already using one more prominently, that will help us decide whether or not we should adopt more broadly. He plans to work out a time table for next steps by next month's CWG meeting.

A suggestion was made to distribute the list of registries to the NDSA-ALL listserv and ask who is in what registry, rather than our group trying to search each registry to find out that information. Others agreed - Daniel will draft a message and send to that list. Will give folks 2 weeks to respond, and move on from there.

Our next call will be April 6th at 11am EST. Agenda and call details to be sent a few days prior.
