Ben O'Steen's blog post describing the DISC-UK DataShare project's approach at Oxford to incorporating a dataset type (a phonetics database) into a Fedora repository.

Quoted: This blog aims to serve as a tool to both record the progress of the Scoping Digital Repository Services for Research Data Management project and to disseminate outputs and information about relevant activities in the converging domains of data curation, institutional repositories and e-Research.

(Luis Martinez Uribe was a DISC-UK member at LSE until this year and has contributed deliverables to the DataShare project. We will keep in contact with him and wish him well with his project at Oxford.)

Sun Microsystems, Inc. today announced the formation of the Sun Preservation and Archiving Special Interest Group, Sun PASIG, to bring together global leaders in government, broadcasting, education, and library services to share best practices for digital archiving.

The Sun PASIG will focus on both collaborating with leading institutions in the EPrints, Fedora, and DSpace communities to create replicable solutions and exchanging expertise on global developments around the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) architecture model.
