And I would like to remind everyone of our monthly call tomorrow at 11:00 EST. Call-in number: 866-469-3239 Participant access code: 21408589 This is our first call since our presentations. In addition to discussing Andrea's idea, I would like to suggest we use the call to regroup and discuss next steps. Other agenda items are welcome, just let me know. Please don't forget to visit the wiki: http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Infrastructure_Working_Group And the cloud presentations: http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Cloud_Presentations Karen On 3/14/11 11:37 AM, "Andrea Goethals" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Hello, In the Standards and Best Practices WG, we are working on a project that we think may intersect with the interests and mission of the Infrastructure WG. We are compiling a database of digital preservation standards and best practices. We're doing this to not only record what standards and best practices already exist, but to also identify opportunities where we could collaborate with others and to identify gaps that our WG could address. Initially the database is for NDSA use but we would make it publicly available in the future. There's a section in it to document related software. So for example if the record is about PREMIS metadata we could document software that can output metadata in the PREMIS format. Currently we're only recording a little bit about the software: name, version, website, description, and how it relates to the standard. Since the Infrastructure WG has sharing of information about tools in its mission, we thought you all might have an interest in the related software part of the database. If so, we could either give you write access to the database or we could remove our related software fields and instead link to a software database maintained by the Infrastructure WG. If there's time on the next Infrastructure WG call, I was hoping we could get this on the agenda. Unfortunately I can't make the call - I have a standing meeting on Tuesdays during that time. But I believe Kris Carpenter Negulescu can make that call and she's also a member of the Standards WG so would be able to field questions on the project. thanks, Andrea ________________________________ Andrea Goethals Digital Preservation and Repository Services Manager Harvard University Library Office for Information Systems 90 Mt.
