*Last Chance to register for “Repositories and Cloud Services for Data
Cyberinfrastructure"*
On June 23 at 11 am PT; 2:00 pm EDT Sandy Payette will give a web seminar
entitled “Repositories and Cloud Services for Data Cyberinfrastructure."
There is no charge for registration:
http://www.oracle.com/dm/11q1field/51162_dura_space_ceo.html. The 2010 All
About Repositories web seminar series is co-sponsored by Sun/Oracle and
DuraSpace.
*Abstract*
The development of historic types of infrastructures–electric grids,
railways, and the Internet–reveals that a key developmental stage has been
reached when formerly incompatible or stand-alone systems are interconnected
via adapters and gateways. We see this in the digital repository domain,
where the notion of a digital repository began as a predominantly
institutional phenomenon, or in certain cases a disciplinary phenomenon, but
is now evolving to a point where repositories are becoming integrated
components of larger systems and distributed infrastructure. At the same
time, we see the emergence of cloud technologies that offer large-scale
storage and compute capabilities, but with open questions on how well the
cloud will meet the requirements of digital preservation and data archiving.
In this session, Payette will discuss how the DuraSpace not-for-profit
organization is working to evolve open source repositories and cloud
services to serve as core components within emerging data cyber
infrastructure. In collaboration with the Fedora and DSpace communities,
DuraSpace is positioning repositories and cloud services to become part of a
distributed data curation and archiving fabric that encompasses both
institutional systems and the Web. She will also provide highlights from the
DuraSpace partnership with the Data Conservancy, an NSF-funded Datanet
project.
