Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model
Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model
• Data• any information in binary digital form, is at
the centre of the Curation Lifecycle.
Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model
• Full Lifecycle Actions– Description and Representation
Information– Preservation Planning– Community Watch and Participation– Curate and Preserve
Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model
• Sequential Actions– Conceptualise– Create or Receive– Appraise and Select– Ingest– Preservation Action– Store– Access, Use and Reuse– Transform
Key elements of the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model
• Occasional Actions– Dispose– Reappraise–Migrate
Case Study
The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library
The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library: the 4 W’s
Who: • Joyner Library at East Carolina
University+ What: • A digital library of books+ about
eastern North CarolinaWhen:• 2003-2004, initial project• 2004-2007, partnership project
Where:
You are here.
The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library: the 4 W’s
Why:• ECU is the largest university in the
eastern region, serving some of the poorest and most under-served counties in the state.
• Material on eastern NC not widely available
• The expertise and interest existed in the library to create a great digital project.

Case Study: The Eastern North Carolina Digital Library
• 2008-2009, creation of Joyner Library Digital Collections, a sister repository more broad in scope
• 2010-2011, migration of ENCDL into JLDC
Comparing
ENCDL• TextML / ASP.net• Non-standard metadata
(aside from TEI transcriptions)• Two basic material types• Non-standard filenaming• Significant supplementary
documentation for each object
• Text and Image/artifact in different search and browse
• Extensive web-presence with educational activities
JLDC• TextML / ASP.net• Metadata standards
(METS, MODS, MIX, TEI)• Variety of materials• Each object has Persistent
Identifier (PID) and consistent filenaming
• Full-repository search• Basic web-presence, but
robust searching tools
Digital Curation
Round One…
Applying the lifecycle model
• Community Watch and Participation– What are the common standards endorsed by our
community?• JPEG2000• EPUB• PREMIS• NC ECHO’s PMDO• Flash• HTML 5
• Curate and Preserve– What are the standards that
will best fit our curation and preservation needs?
• Preservation Planning–What actions are in the best long-term
interest of the ENCDL? JLDC?• Meetings with
stakeholders• Web analytics• Reproduction requests• Review of infrastructure
• Migration– Digital objects, metadata,
web application
Applying the lifecycle model
Applying the lifecycle model
• Create a new collection in the repository• Create a “PID” for each digital object into the
repository• Create METS/MODS/MIX/TEI/PREMIS record for
each– Incorporate supplemental metadata– Create new PREMIS records for each
• Create new hybrid object type for image + video
• JPEG2000 for all images• pdf and epub for books
Applying the lifecycle model• JPEG2000
– Complicated algorithms– Inadequate software– Web application development with Kakadu– Presentation copies only at this time.
• Metadata– PREMIS– Mapping and scripting multiple times
• Repository structure– Modeling new object types– Functional requirements for UI
and metadata– Use case scenarios in ENCDL
mapped to JLDC
Applying the lifecycle model
• Access, Use and Reuse– Recreate the book viewer using
JPEG2000– Create subject and map browse for the
entire repository– Recreate ENCDL pages
with repository’s stylesheet
The End• Curation• Preservation• Community Watch
and participation
What Have We Learned?
• Many of us will eventually need to migrate not just data, but collections and “experiences” into other repositories.
• Digital Curation Lifecycle Model can help us think through Curation activities and evaluate them.
• The Lifecycle Model is not linear, nor will our activities be.
• The Lifecycle Model is not finite, but iterative.
Thanks!
