The digital preservation and repositories domain is fortunate to have a diverse set of institutional and consortial efforts, software projects, and standardization initiatives. Many discussion lists have been created for these individual efforts. The digital-curation discussion list is intended to be a public forum that encourages cross-pollination across these project and institutional boundaries in order to foster wider awareness of project- and institution-specific work and encourage further collaboration.
Topic of conversation can include (but is not limited to)
- digital repository software (Fedora, DSpace, EPrints, etc.)
- management of digital formats (JHOVE, djatoka, etc.)
- use and development of standards (OAIS, OAI-PMH/ORE, MPEG21, METS, BagIt, etc.)
- issues related to identifiers, packaging, and data transfer
- best practices and case studies around curation and preservation of digital content
- repository interoperability
- conference, workshop, tutorial announcements
- recent papers
- job announcements
- general chit chat about problems, solutions, itches to be scratched
- general humor and fun
