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.




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