Dorothea Salo
shortly, I will be splitting my time between teaching library
technology and similar courses (including data curation) at the School
of Library and Information Studies at UW-Madison and helping
evangelize for the Islandora repository suite as part of
DiscoveryGarden, Inc.
I'm interested in data-curation education (obviously), data-service
development and management in libraries, storage and repository
software, legal imbroglios around data, preservation and discovery of
digital data, and the sociology of data sharing (with a view to
encouraging more of it).

Since I suggested that people make more use of the mailing list, I
suppose I ought to pipe up as well! Thanks, Declan, for proposing that
list members introduce themselves.
My name is Erik Hetzner. I work on the Web Archiving Service [1] at
CDL, and a few other other projects in my spare time [2].
My interests are in the web, in web archiving, and in making large

Gueguen, Gretchen (gmg2n)
My name is Gretchen Gueguen (it's pronounced "Giggin" for the curious, btw). I am the Digital Archivist in the special collections department of the University of Virginia Library and part of the Mellon-funded AIMS project (http://born-digital-archives.blogspot.com/). I work primarily with born-digital materials that are accessioned as part of manuscript collections: so everything from 25 year old 5.25" floppies to cloud-based data sets (potentially). My interests therefore skew to digital preservation and curation as well as some hardware and software preservation. I'm also really interested in data management in archives.
P.S. check out the project I'm putting together about digital archives for Archives Month this October: http://dayofdigitalarchives.blogspot.com/ participants are still very welcome!

early days of building a data program to support science by aligning
library infrastructure and expertise with gaps and needs on campus. I
am a metadata nerd (of the scientific context variety) and an activist
for prioritizing scientific reproducibility throughout system design
and development while realistically and effectively supporting
'upstream' research. I <3 community-developed controlled vocabularies
and strongly believe that recognition and stitching together of data
expertise at a variety of levels/locations will be an important part
of any service/infrastructure model going forward.
It was great to meet so many of you at CURATEcamp!

Peter McKinney
my name is Peter McKinney and I work at the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa. I'm part of the National Digital Heritage Archive (NDHA) team and I'm responsible mostly for things pertaining to policy, but I do other things around testing and requirements development for our preservation system (which we've been running for nearly three years now). So, I'm interested in the day-to-day grind of preservation including; ingest flows of 'tricky' materials, the tools we use (format ID, validation, virus), and risk analysis. I'm also very interested in policy development across archives and libraries (we are in the process of moving to a shared preservation infrastructure with Archives New Zealand).
Best wishes from Wellington.

Courtney
the City of Vancouver Archives in British Columbia, Canada. My work
over the past two years has focused on working with Artefactual
Systems, Inc. (http://artefactual.com/) and our internal team of 2
archivists, a manager and a conservator, developing the city's first
digital archives system* to acquire, process, and store born digital
and digitized archives (http://archivematica.org/), and then manage
and provide access to born digital, digitized, analog and hybrid
archives (http://ica-atom.org). The pilot project has been
predominately based on the acquisition of the hybrid records of the
Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Things that float my boat include, but are not limited to: born-
digital acquisition, transfer analysis and pre-ingest processing;
ingest and access workflows for born-digital and hybrid records; open
source digital forensics and visualization software development for
archivists for use in the aforementioned processes; and innovative
collaboration strategies (linked data? shared documentation? crowd-
sourced empirical data about processes?).

Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH). I come to Maryland
via the Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London and,
most recently, the Data Curation Education Program at the Graduate
School of Library and Information Science at UIUC.
In my joint role at Maryland, I'm working on developing and overseeing
the data curation policies and practices for MITH and, as part of
that, working on use cases and pilots for the library's preservation
repository development. I'm interested in the particular challenges of
curating humanities research data, repository ingest and processing of
born-digital materials, and metadata interoperability.

Hi all,
I am Lynn Yarmey, Science Data Librarian at Stanford. I am in the
early days of building a data program to support science by aligning
library infrastructure and expertise with gaps and needs on campus. I
am a metadata nerd (of the scientific context variety) and an activist
for prioritizing scientific reproducibility throughout system design
and development while realistically and effectively supporting
'upstream' research. I <3 community-developed controlled vocabularies
and strongly believe that recognition and stitching together of data
expertise at a variety of levels/locations will be an important part
of any service/infrastructure model going forward.
It was great to meet so many of you at CURATEcamp!

Kia ora all,
my name is Peter McKinney and I work at the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa. I'm part of the National Digital Heritage Archive (NDHA) team and I'm responsible mostly for things pertaining to policy, but I do other things around testing and requirements development for our preservation system (which we've been running for nearly three years now). So, I'm interested in the day-to-day grind of preservation including; ingest flows of 'tricky' materials, the tools we use (format ID, validation, virus), and risk analysis. I'm also very interested in policy development across archives and libraries (we are in the process of moving to a shared preservation infrastructure with Archives New Zealand).
Best wishes from Wellington.

Hi all,
It’s been great to hear where everyone is from and what they’re doing.
I’m Sarah Jones from the Digital Curation Centre [1] based at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. We provide tools, guidance and support to UK higher education and are just starting on a phase of work in which we’ll be working more intensively with a number of universities to help them address particular data management challenges e.g. policy/strategy development, co-ordinating services, training etc
One of my main interests is research funders data policies and the requirements in these for data management and sharing plans. I’ve just written a guide on developing DMPs [2] which is open for comments. It’s based on UK requirements but loads of the examples come from the US so it’d be great to get feedback from this list.
All best

I am currently the metadata specialist on my university's data curation team.
A key interest of mine today is investigating and modeling AIPs for data that enable good preservation management and access by other researchers. Related interests are actionable metadata (e.g., for automating rights/restriction mgmt), linked data, and design of supporting tools and workflows.

Prior to joining DuraSpace, I worked at University of Illinois with
Sarah Shreeves on IDEALS. I have a computer science & LIS background
(Masters in LIS from UIUC). I also have a "hidden" consulting past where
I did some work with document management systems (Documentum mostly) for
various Fortune 500 companies.
In any case, my interest here is in finding ways to improve our various
'systems' (DSpace, Fedora, Hydra, Islandora, etc) to better support the
needs of digital preservation/curation. Things like finding ways to
improve data/service interoperability (no system or idea lasts forever,
and no one system can be "everything" to everyone), and better
fulfilling the needs of those who are dedicated to preservation
services, data curation, and scholarly communication services.
So, basically, I'm here to learn from all the digital curation experts
out there, and figure out where our existing systems/services may be
lacking or could use a little extra love. :)

My most pressing interest is finding enormous amounts of reliable
storage at a low cost (on a related note, we've started working on
audio and video reformatting). My general interest is in the range of
activities that go into good library stewardship, so I'm keen on the
ways that artifact and digital collections overlap or diverge in the
needs they serve. I try to ask the same sort of questions about both -
what risks are these things prone to? from what risks are they safe?
over what period of time do those strengths and weaknesses play out?

I wasn't able to attend CurateCamp (I'm coming off a no-travel bender), but know many of you from other conferences. I'm the Digital Repository Program Coordinator at Duke University Libraries. I'm responsible for launching a repository program at Duke focused initially on digital preservation of and access to ETDs, GIS and numeric data, implementing Duke's Open Access Policy, and addressing faculty research data. While a lot of thinking has been done at Duke about most of these issues, I'm the person charged with making something happen. I design workflows, manage a DSpace repository, negotiate between interested parties, and make a lot of pretty presentations and charts. I write a little software, too, when I can't talk someone else into it.
Prior to library school I was a graduate student in cultural anthropology and tend to gravitate toward viewing technology and curation from that perspective. I also coordinate Duke Libraries' Innovation Lab, an experimental collaboration to increase technological innovation in the Libraries.
I'm interested in:
*Engaging faculty and researchers in their own workflows to support data curation
*Pragmatic, affordable approaches to curation and digital preservation
*Other duties as assigned

I want to echo Jim Tuttle's interest in "Pragmatic, affordable approaches
to curation and digital preservation." I'm particularly mindful of the
many cultural heritage institutions creating (or who have created) digital
content, but who do not have programmers or metadata librarians. There's
a huge gap for these folks that needs to be articulated and filled in,
which should feed off the best practices determined by those with more
wherewithall.
I'm a fly in the ointment, hoping to help spur development of solutions
into a reality that will support future access for the ton of valuable
content out there right now (that hasn't a prayer of survival yet).
I'm also a Perl programmer (yes, other languages too), manage an immensely
productive digitization team, helped with development of the open-source
Acumen digital library delivery system (it indexes whatever you put in a

My portfolio varies wildly from time to time. I recently finished up two small projects: a report on increasing the scale of digital capture of non-book materials and a report on implementing single search systems. I’m currently working on projects in two areas: born-digital curation in archives and special collections and sustainability of disciplinary repositories.
Accordingly, I’m interested in helping small repositories step up to the challenges of curating born-digital materials and I’m interested in business models for how successful subject repositories can stay successful.
And I’m curious to know why MS spell check has issues with curation and curating (but not curate).

My interests include software interoperability, cost-effective
preservation, archival formats, and open source software trends and
communities.
I am glad to hear of the on going success of the CURATEcamp. It is a
great value to the community.

I'm Matthew McKinley, Digital Project Specialist at UC Irvine. I manage the technical side of our UCISpace @ The Libraries DSpace instance, design and develop curation and preservation processes for digital scholarship projects, strategize and collaborate on curation workflows for diverse digital object types, and serve as a liaison between UCI Library IT and various library and faculty departments. Recently trained as an archivist, I took some digital preservation and basic scripting courses and am now jumping feet-first into the world of digital curation.
I'm currently interested in migration/preservation of legacy born-digital objects, preservation of complex/interactive objects such as videogames or dynamic web resources, cross-platform content visualization and aggregation and simplified solutions to curation over an object's entire lifecycle.
I also enjoy fancy beer, good fiction, creating and listening to music and am earning my nerd wings by working through latter-day Battlestar Galactica and Dr. Who.

primarily interest (today) is in the curation of born digital
communications, content and records with a special focus on
authenticity and credibility assertion representation and preservation
for both near and long term use. I attended a curation camp in Austin
this summer and was intoxicated by the exchange of ideas. Many thanks
to Declan for keeping this going!

Hi All,
I’m a bit late to the party, but here goes…
I’m Andrew Jackson, and I’m a Digital Preservation Architect at the British Library. As well as trying to help ensure that the BL’s content remains accessible in the future, this also involves working with content creators and curators to ensure that the content is as well-managed and sustainable as possible from the start. I used to be a physicist, but joined the field during the Planets project. I am now the technical coordinator for the SCAPE preservation project (http://www.scape-project.eu/) and on the architecture board of the Open Planets Foundation (http://www.openplanetsfoundation.org/), which was set up to help sustain the results from Planets.
I’m particularly interested in encouraging the curation and preservation communities to work together wherever possible, sharing information and experiences, so that we can work more efficiently and raise everyone’s game. This involves…
- Blogging about preservation issues (http://www.openplanetsfoundation.org/blogs/andy-jackson).
- Being involved in the hackathon/mash-up events (e.g. AQuA and this upcoming OPF/DPC event: http://www.openplanetsfoundation.org/community/opf-events/hackathon-practical-tools-digital-preservation).
- Advocating that effort be directed towards existing open source solutions wherever possible (e.g. the SCAPE project intends to work on DROID, JHOVE2 and FITS as appropriate).
- Encouraging folks to pool knowledge in the OPF Wikis (http://wiki.opf-labs.org/dashboard.action).
Best wishes,
Andy

Subject: [digital-curation] Introductions
Hi folks - I floated an idea at the CURATEcamp closing yesterday that we all introduce ourselves on this list. The format would be very much like the intros at CURATEcamp:
Name
Where you're from
What you do
What are the top 2 or 3 things you are most interested in, in the digital curation community
I'll start:
I'm Declan Fleming, and I'm the director of IT at the University of California, San Diego Libraries.
My main curation interests are around building communities, linked data, and building sustainable repositories.

- networking with librarians and technologists who have similar responsibilities in order to expand my understanding of what others are doing and what is possible in the practice of digital curation in a large research library setting
- trying out new ideas, or parsing a prevalent issue we've come across, as we develop curation services that are driven by stakeholder needs and actual use cases
- seeing what new organizational or infrastructural changes/positions/thinking emerge in libraries as a result of being more attentive to data and content in digital form from a lifecycle management perspective

I'm John Kunze, an Associate Director for the University of California
Curation Center (UC3), part of the California Digital Library (CDL) [1].
That role encompasses planning, strategizing, organizing, spec writing,
proposal writing, not enough coding, and more than enough powerpointing.
My curation interests focus on building communities and promoting good
micro-services design. There are many aspects of good design, and the
overly simplistic principles I currently fatigue my colleagues with are:
- use the filesystem,
- encode in plain text,
- avoid SQL if practical,
- don't repeat yourself (DRY),
- invent consistent metaphors, and
- invent consistent terminology.
John Wilbanks spoke a few weeks ago [2], citing four design principles:
simple, weak, scalable, and open. I especially liked the second one.

Sorry for being cryptic (a principle I may like too much is brevity).
As for "weak" design, I was almost as irritated as I was intrigued by the
idea, which is confusing and probably mis-named: I think it's really a
restatement of the Unix philosophy of "do one thing well (and no more)".
What I liked is that it focuses one on drawing a strict line around the
"power" that one would build into a tool. Eg, a screwdriver might be
used to pry open a lid or scrape off paint, but the designers didn't
add those applications to the screwdriver's design (did they?).

ordinate the History of ITU Portal (www.itu.int/history), a collection
of digitized historical documents and other information related to the
history of the organization.
I'm interested in metadata, taxonomies and user communities...and many
other things!

I really enjoyed meeting many of you at CURATECamp. It gives me hope
that there are so many smart people working on digital curation
issues.
I'm Lisa Dawn Colvin, project manager for Unified Digital Format
Registry (UDFR) at the California Digital Library (UC3 group). We are
developing an open-source registry, based on a semantic wiki, for
digital file formats. If you are interested in the project, please
check out https://bitbucket.org/udfr/main/wiki/Home or e-mail me.
As my background is in semantics, I have a deep interest in knowledge
representation, ontologies, linked data and provenance of data,
metadata and remixed objects. I am also eager to learn more about the
curation of born-digital objects, particularly video. Related
interests include photomontage (have taken over 4000 photos on my
phone so far this year. Help!), playing synth in the band, moonbell,
making music videos and natural perfumery. I'm interested in
collaborating with others on linked data/semantic issues as well as
understanding better the nuances of digital formats and workflows
related to their curation.
Thanks again to everyone who supports CURATEcamp.

A bit late to the introductions, but...
I'm Cathy Aster, digital library project manager at Stanford University Libraries.
I'm interested in applying project management practices to the development and implementation of curation plans, in particular working with faculty and other stakeholders to raise awareness about digital curation issues and help them meet their needs for grant applications and other project initiatives.
I'm Laurie Taylor, Interim Director for the University of Florida Libraries' Digital Library Center, responsible for the UF Digital Collections (http://ufdc.ufl.edu), including support for existing projects and for new digital scholarship services related to UFDC and the other collaborative digital collection projects supported by the UF Libraries including the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC, an international collaborative, www.dloc.com). I'm interested in digital curation specifically as it relates to digital scholarship services and needs (digital humanities, digital history, e-science, public scholar, etc).
