[CODE4LIB] Legal Challenges in the Digital Preservation Lifecycle. Registration open for tutorial at iPres2013, 2 Sep 2013
Legal Challenges in the Preservation Lifecycle – How to Address and how to Solve them! http://timbusproject.net/events/events/210-legal-challenges-in-the-preservation-lifecycle-how-to-address-and-how-to-solve-them- The TIMBUS project is offering a half-day tutorial at the 10th International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects (iPres) 2013, in Lisbon, Portugal on 2 September 2013. http://ipres2013.ist.utl.pt/index.html *Abstract * Legal aspects of digital preservation activities and the legal risks that motivate digital preservation are often underrepresented in digital preservation and computer science conferences, tutorials and workshops. But legal aspects are influencing nearly all preservation activities, and at the same time provide a strong motivation for preserving digital artefacts. The TIMBUS project endeavours to enlarge the understanding of the preservation of business processes and services. One focus of the project is the research of legal questions , amongst them: - Intellectual Property (IP) Rights related to databases, computer programs, documents - Data Protection regulations - Legal obligations for preserving data in various sectors - IT contracting issues The legal research questions addressed in TIMBUS apply to digital preservation in general and introduce the digital preservation community to this area of research. In this tutorial we want to raise awareness of legal aspects and want to discuss and illustrate different challenges and potential solutions for these legal issues. *Tutorial Level * Introductory Level *Duration * Three hours *Outline of the contents * The tutorial will cover the following topics: *IP-Rights and Digital Preservation*: The first part gives an overview of legal issues in digital preservation and European Copyright. All relevant European Copyright regulations are introduced and aspects of copyright and the related rights of the Information Society Directive (Directive 2001/29/EC) as well as the Computer Program Directive (Directive 2009/24/EC) are explained in detail. We give an overview over the objects of protection as well as exclusive rights of reproduction and alteration relevant for digital preservation. We will discuss who is the author of a computer program and who gains the exploitation rights in the case where a computer program is developed by employees in order to fulfil their labour contracts. The exceptions and limitations to the exclusive rights established in the Information Society Directive and the Computer Program Directive are explained in detail. We examine whether these exceptions and limitations apply to the relevant processes for digital preservation. *IT-Contracting*: In order to develop appropriate rules for the conduct of parties involved in digital preservation, one should determine the execution of digital preservation in legal contracts. Of particular situation of interest is the one in which the user outsources the execution of the preservation process to an external provider. In that case comprehensive framework contracts appear necessary. The relevance of ITIL, ISO/IEC 2, change request clauses and the specific significance of Service Level Agreements will be explained. The main focus of the module is nevertheless the topic of licensing which is of equal importance in the outsourcing scenario and in the in-house preservation scenario. After a short introduction to licensing, the clauses of a license contract which are relevant for the execution of digital preservation will be illustrated. Special emphasis will be put on Open Source Licenses and their advantages for digital preservation. *Holistic Software Escrow*: If organisations buy customized software or use externally provided services (like SaaS in the Cloud) they are dependent of the third party’s maintenance and support regarding changes or bug fixes. These dependencies pose problems, for instance if the developer files for bankruptcy or fails to maintain the program. Software Escrow offers a mitigation strategy here by placing a trustable third party between the developer and customer. All artefacts relevant for the software are deposited at the escrow agent, who is obliged to hand over the material in case a stipulated trigger event occurs. Different technical and legal considerations that have to be taken into account will be the focus of this module. First we will give an overview of the Software Escrow domain. Then we will point out different aspects that have to be considered for a successful escrow. We will also give an overview of the escrow phases (planning, executing and redeploying) and how to legally and technically ensure that a developer is allowed to and is able to maintain it once the material is handed over. *Legalities Lifecycle Management*: We have started to develop a prototype tool to facilitate the digital preservation process with regards to legal considerations. It provides decision support of legal aspects

From Preserving Data to Preserving Research: Curation of Process and Context http://timbusproject.net/events/events/206-from-preserving-data-to-preserving-researchcuration-of-process-and-context- The TIMBUS and Wf4Ever projects are offering a half-day tutorial at the 10th International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects (iPres) 2013, in Lisbon, Portugal on September 2, 2013. http://ipres2013.ist.utl.pt/index.html ABSTRACT In the domain of eScience, investigations are increasingly collaborative. Most scientific and engineering domains benefit from building on the outputs of other research: by sharing information to reason over and data to incorporate in the modeling task at hand. This raises the need for preserving and sharing entire eScience workflows and processes for later reuse. We need to define which information is to be collected, create means to preserve it and approaches to enable and validate the re-execution of a preserved process. This includes and goes beyond preserving the data used in the experiments, as the process underlying its creation and use is essential. The TIMBUS project and Wf4Ever project team up for this half-day tutorial to provide an introduction to the problem domain and discuss solutions for the curation of eScience processes. TUTORIAL LEVEL Introductory level DURATION Half-day OUTLINE OF THE CONTENT The tutorial will cover the following topics: Introduction to Process and Context Preservation: The introduction will motivate the need for process and context preservation, illustrate how this task is difficult in an evolving domain, and introduce a use case for the rest of the tutorial to illustrate approaches and tools. *Data Citation*: Data forms the basis of the results of many research publications, and thus needs to be referenced with the same accuracy as bibliographic data. Only if data can be identified with high precision can it be reused, validated, verified and reproduced. Citing a specific data set is however not trivial - it exists in a vast plurality of specifications and instances, can potentially be huge in size, and its location might change. We will provide an overview over existing approaches to overcoming these challenges. Further, we will present the issue of creating data citations of data held in databases, especially of dynamic data sets where data is added or updated on a regular basis. *Re-usability and traceability of workflows and processes*: The processes creating and interpreting data are complex objects. Curating and preserving them requires special effort, as they are dynamic, and highly dependent on software, configuration, hardware, and other aspects. We will discuss these issues in detail, and provide an introduction to two complementary approaches. The first approach is based on the concept of Research Objects, which adopts a workflow-centric approach and thereby aims at facilitating the reuse and reproducibility. It allows packaging the data and the methods as one Research Object to share and cite it, and thus enable publishers to grant access to the actual data and methods that contribute to the findings reported in scholarly articles. A second approach focuses on describing and preserving a process and the context it is embedded in. The artifacts that may need to be captured range from data, software and accompanying documentation, to legal and human resource aspects. Some of this information can be automatically extracted from an existing process, and tools for this will be presented. Ways to archive the process and to perform preservation actions on the process environment, such as recreating a controlled execution environment or migration of software components, are presented. Finally, the challenge of evaluating the re-execution of a preserved process is discussed, addressing means of establishing its authenticity. INTENDED AUDIENCE The tutorial is targeted at researchers, publishers and curators in eScience disciplines who want to learn about methods of ensuring the long-term availability of experiments forming the basis of scientific research. EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES The tutorial participants will understand - Motivations and challenges of process preservation - Motivations, stakeholders and challenges of making data citable - How Data is Cited Today: OECD report on data citability, Google search of data sets, requirements, guidelines, metadata, locators and identifiers, approaches to naming schemes and properties. - Available technologies for identifiers: Archival Resource Key (ARK), Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI), HANDLE, Life Science ID (LSID),Object Identifiers (OID), Persistent Uniform Resource Locators (PURL), URI/URN/URL, Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) - Approaches and Initiatives for citing data: CODATA, Data Cite, OpenAire, challenges and opportunities: granularity, scalability, complexity and

I can access the files with the URLs provided by setting the access to anyone with the URL but doesn't work for some of those testing it for me or with the links I have on my webpage.. I have five folders with files of about 38 MB total. I have separated the ebooks, audio books, juvenile
