The TIMBUS Project invites DPC members to attend a Training Day on the Preservation of Business Processes ... in association with PASIG 2012, Tuesday, 16 October 2012, Gresham Hotel, Dublin, Ireland

This full-day event is open to any interested party on a first-come-first serve basis.

Are you integrating your digital preservation activities with business continuity and enterprise risk management approaches?
Do you need to preserve more than data?
Do you hold preserved information about computing environments, dependencies, policies, even process descriptions that are needed to understand your repository contents?

This TIMBUS event will discuss these issues with you.

The TIMBUS project addresses the challenge of digital preservation of business processes and services to ensure their long-term continued access. TIMBUS analyses and recommends which aspects of a business process should be preserved and how to preserve them. It delivers methodologies and tools to capture and formalise business processes on both technical and organisational levels. This includes preservation of their underlying software infrastructure, virtualization of their hardware infrastructure and capture of dependencies on local and third-party services and information. This means that, in addition to technical preservation metadata, it draws on metadata standards that capture business processes, such as BPMN, and is identifying forms of supporting business documentation needed to redeploy processes and services.

The DPC, with assistance of Charles Beagrie Associates, is delighted to announce that the outline of the 2nd edition of the popular technology Watch Report 'Preservation Metadata' has now been released to members. This report will provide a guide to current developments, practical and emerging issues which organisations are facing in Preservation Metadata. The first edition of this report was published by the DPC in 2005 and although it remains very popular, the topic has changed considerably. The report is intended for general publication by March 2013 but will be available as a preview to DPC members before that.

The Digital Preservation Coalition is pleased to offer three fully funded scholarships to attend the Digital Preservation Training Programme at the National Library of Ireland, Dublin, 2nd – 3rd October 2012.

The Digital Preservation Training Programme (DPTP) is designed for all those working in institutional information management who are grappling with fundamental issues of digital preservation. It provides the skills and knowledge necessary for institutions to combine organisational and technological perspectives and devise an appropriate response to the challenges that digital preservation needs present. DPTP is operated and organised by the University of London Computer Centre with contributions from invited experts. It is supported by the Digital Preservation Coalition which originally helped to establish the course in 2005. This course is slightly compressed from previous iterations. Attendance at the Digital Preservation Training Programme costs €530 per person (excluding VAT). However, the Digital Preservation Coalition is pleased to offer three full scholarships which meet the costs of the course. Applications are welcomed from DPC members and associates. The scholarship covers all tuition fees, course materials, access to online resources, lunch and refreshments. Travel, accommodation and subsistence are not funded.

This is the eighth time the DPC has offered scholarships to attend the course. Successful applicants will be asked to help promote the course and the work of the coalition. The DPC has supported a total of thirty five scholarships to attend this course.

In March 2012 the DPC Leadership Programme awarded a scholarship to Matthew Herring of Information Directorate of the University of York so that he could attend the Digital Futures Academy in London. In this short interview he notes that, although much of his work on the university's repository is technical in nature, it is ultimately all to do with people.
