Taxonomy Development and Management Process
Kathryn Gronsbell (AVpreserve)
Actions speak louder than words: taxonomy development and management will explore the role of taxonomies in digital preservation strategies and collection management policies.
Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss how agreed-upon
structures, terms, and usage policies can move
organizations towards stronger collection and asset management
practices, by solidifying description, search, discovery, and analytical
controls.

DuraCloud/Archivematica Pilot- Striving to Meet all the Needs Identified by POWRR(Preserving Digital Objects with Restricted Resources)
Michele Kimpton
Chief Executive Officer, DuraSpace
DuraSpace and Artefactual are currently conducting a pilot with 9 institutions to test out Archivematica/DuraCloud together as a single hosted application. We want to see if when these 2 tools are integrated they effectively meet the requirements of the NDSA levels of preservation and/or the elements of the POWRR grid. Particularly for schools that have limited technical resources and need hosted solutions. As a result of the pilot we will document what content was tested, what was learned in the process and if these tools can work effectively as a hosted solution.
