This presentation sheds light on the critical challenges of establishing a sustainable digital infrastructure in the United Kingdom. The work conducted by TaNC plays a crucial role in addressing key factors within the realm of digital infrastructure, including:
[1] Tools and Pipelines: This encompasses software and related components.
[2] User Knowledge Needs: We draw insights from Ackoff's 'Data to Wisdom' model and Taylor's 'Needs of Information' theory to understand user requirements.
[3] Platform Support: This pertains to the necessary infrastructure to sustain the digital ecosystem.
Currently, our focus lies in finding solutions to several pressing issues, such as:
Capacity and Digital Readiness: We are actively exploring strategies to address capacity-related challenges and enhance digital readiness.
Open Access and Equivalently Licensed Content: We are committed to promoting open access and content with equivalent licensing to foster a more accessible digital landscape.
Collaboration Pathways: We are working towards optimizing collaboration pathways to facilitate seamless cooperation within the digital community.

This document discusses teaching digital humanities through virtual research environments (VREs). It describes the digital humanities landscape, challenges in utilizing digital resources, and examples of VREs like LORE, Old Bailey, TAPoR and NINES. VREs provide tools for students to analyze digital objects, collaborate, and develop information retrieval and analysis skills important for working with growing digital resources. When incorporated into coursework through assessable tasks, VREs can help students engage in humanities questions and interpretations in a hands-on, experimental way.
The Portable Antiquities Scheme records archaeological objects found by the public in England and Wales. It has created the largest archaeological database online with over 338,000 records and images. The Scheme works with metal detectorists and the public to record finds that would otherwise be lost. It provides valuable data for research and heritage protection.

“Digital Preservation: Setting the Course for a Decade of Change” , a conference keynote from 2007, available now on Slideshare is the ninth of 12 presentations I’ve selected to mark 20 years in Digital Preservation. The remainder will be published at monthly intervals over 2015.
This presentation was the opening keynote to a conference in 2007 held by the Belgian Association of Documentation (BDA) to celebrate its 60th anniversary. It dates from my time at the British Library.
The conference theme was "Europe facing the challenge of the long term conservation of digitalised archives". My keynote synthesised many of the topics I was focussing on at the time (and have featured in some of my earlier slide shares in this series) including encouraging University libraries to engage more actively with research data management in the sciences, to begin developing digital special collections of individuals, and to support international efforts to ensure continuing access and preservation of e-Journals as part of the scholarly record. In addition, given the European focus I briefly covered some of the major European initiatives in digital preservation at that time.
I have selected this presentation as one of the 12 in this series, not only as it is synthesising these key themes but also because it includes some thoughts on whether digital preservation needed to be evolution or revolution (or a bit of both) for libraries and archives.
Culture Grid is a service that aggregates collection records from cultural heritage institutions across the UK. It currently contains over 1.65 million item records, 10,000 collection records, and 8,000 institution records covering all subjects and regions. Culture Grid aims to increase access to and use of collections by connecting people with collections through a variety of search and development tools. Institutions can contribute data to expand coverage and engage more users. The process involves mapping records to Culture Grid formats and providing sample records to be added.
Going, going, gone - Can legal deposit save us from the digital black hole? -...CONUL Conference
Presented at the CONUL Conference, July 2015, Athlone, Ireland by Margaret Flood, Arlene Healy, Trinity College Dublin.
Abstract
The internet has evolved beyond recognition since its advent in 1980s; fundamentally changing the way we live, work and communicate. However its pervasiveness is mirrored by the transient nature of much of the content and the consequent loss of collective memory has been described as the digital black hole. Historically nations have relied on national libraries and other legal deposit libraries, to collect preserve and provide ongoing access to the intellectual, cultural and social outputs of their country, and in an increasingly digital world restricting legal deposit to publications in print has put the national record at risk. Over the last decade countries across the world have extended legal deposit provisions in their legislation to cover non-print formats. This presentation focuses on the experience of the UK, as a case study, from new legislation in 2003 through the experience of implementation in 2013 to where we are today. Challenges, viewed through the lens of an academic library, include defining what is national in a digital world; balancing the interests of multiple stakeholders; technical challenges to implement robust collection, preservation and access systems within legal constraints; dealing with multiple and rapidly evolving formats; the sheer scale and cost of collecting and preserving content and providing ongoing access to it. Two years on from UK implementation of the legislation how successful have the legal deposit libraries been in this endeavour, what does the future look like and what lessons might be applicable to the Irish digital environment?
Biography
"Margaret Flood heads the Collection Management Division of Trinity College Library. She has been actively engaged with the British Library and UK legal deposit libraries since 2003 in the planning to bring non-print legal deposit from legislation to implementation and ultimately business as usual. She represents TCD on a number of key committees including the Legal Deposit Implementation Group and Joint Committee for Legal Deposit which draws its representation from the publishing and library communities. She chairs the TCD internal Steering Group responsible for coordination of the implementation of UK Non-Print Legal Deposit within TCD. Margaret also chairs the CONUL Regulatory Affairs Sub-Committee which includes legal deposit in its remit. On behalf of CONUL the Sub-Committee responded to public the two public consultations initiated by the Copyright Review Committee including detailed submissions on the urgency of legislating for digital legal deposit for Ireland

Building Representation in Sustainable Socio-Technical Infrastructures for Cu...Javier Pereda
The Museo Integrado calls for museums to “take part in bringing awareness into the societies to which it serves”. However, this can become challenging due to the alienation generated by Western and Anglo-centric epistemologies, cosmovision and technological impositions. How are museums meant to represent knowledge when the systems used to describe such knowledge do not engage with the perspective of the communities they are intended to serve? How do we overcome the large digital divide within cultural institutions, their staff, and especially among communities, not only in the context of the Global South, but also evident within the UK. The Digital Humanities have provided a paradigm shift in how knowledge production can sustain (and disrupt) novel research methods in the historical and cultural sector.

Delivering technology Skills in the Creative IndustriesJavier Pereda
This poster aims to present the complexity of teaching technology skills in the Creative Industries. Such complexity rises from an extensive range of disciplines and sectors that are heavily affected by digital technologies. Students are shaped by the culture of the institutions, which aim to provide students with the core skills that do not commonly enable students the digital competence within a standard. This is reflected in the perspective on their needs as students aiming to achieve different levels of specialty in their own sub-dsiscipline.

The main objective was to present possible pathways to implement decolonial theory and praxis within Design using Cultural Heritage as case studies.
This document discusses metanarratives in postmodernism. It covers key concepts such as postmodernism, narratives and metanarratives, simulacra and simulation, and hyperreality. It discusses how postmodernism rejects singular or grand metanarratives and embraces pluralism and local narratives. Metanarratives are no longer seen as objective truths but rather ways of making sense of the world. Knowledge is viewed as plural and contextual rather than universal.
Masterclass Multimodal Engagements with Cultural HeritageJavier Pereda
The document discusses exploring online cultural heritage through tangible user interfaces. It introduces tangible interfaces as an alternative to graphical user interfaces for interacting with cultural heritage collections online. Basic tangible objects could represent common queries about who, what, when, etc. More complex tangible queries could also be constructed by combining these basic query objects. The goal is to integrate these tangible queries with online cultural heritage databases structured using semantic web standards.
Introduction to the Semantic Web and Linked DataJavier Pereda
The document appears to be a slide presentation about the semantic web and linked data. It discusses key concepts like semantic web technology, data models for representing information, and using SPARQL queries to retrieve metadata from RDF graphs. Examples are provided of representing simple XML data about people as RDF and querying that data. The presentation aims to introduce semantic web concepts and technologies.
Interaction and interfaces. Playful DataJavier Pereda
ACRG Seminar, University of Southampton, School of Humanities.
We live now in a world that is deeply linked to computers. We seek aid from these computers so we can deal with our everyday and work data. On the web, it is through those same computers that we access such data. Nevertheless, it is through software that we make it meaningful so it can be transformed into something relevant thus transformed into information. This empowerment that new technology has brought to a wide variety of users has allowed them to become users and producers of their own information. In order to communicate such knowledge as information, it requires a transformation into data and vice versa.
This session will present an interdisciplinary perspective including Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Web Science, along with other Humanities disciplines such as Art and Design in an attempt to understand the different factors and perspectives when communicating to other people and computers.

2. Overview
• Towards a National Collection is supporting
research that breaks down the barriers that
exist between the UK’s outstanding cultural
heritage collections, with the aim of opening
them up to new research opportunities and
encouraging the public to explore them in
new ways
• The term ‘national collection’ represents the
breadth and range of culture and heritage
collections across the UK
3. Scoping future infrastructure
• How should we respond to the issues around capacity and digital
readiness?
• Should it include only Open Access and equivalently licensed
content?
• How should it maximise collaboration?
• How should we integrate processes of decoloniality at design
level?
• How do we ensure resilience and sustainability?

Content Information (CI) – What the object is
Preservation Desc – Reference, Provenance, Context, Fixity (authentication),
Package – Archival information package
Descriptive info – facilitates access to the content
Data: This is the most basic form, representing raw facts and figures. At this stage, the data is unprocessed and lacks context or meaning.
Information: When data is processed, organized, or structured in some way, it becomes information. At this stage, questions like "Who?", "What?", "Where?", and "When?" get answered.
Knowledge: This level goes beyond information by adding context, experience, interpretation, and reflection. Knowledge answers the "How?" question and enables one to apply information effectively in different situations. It often comes from human insights, intuition, and skills acquired over time. Knowledge can be tacit (in one's mind) or explicit (codified and documented).
Wisdom: The highest level of the hierarchy, wisdom involves making sound judgments and decisions based on knowledge. It takes into account ethical considerations, long-term consequences, and the "Why?" question. Wisdom allows for a broader understanding and the application of values, ethics, and human experience to make meaningful decisions.
FAIR guiding principles have helped to safeguard transparency, reusability and reproducibility of data objects. However, it is important to highlight that FAIR principles should apply to all kind of information objects including algorithms, tools, workflows and pipelines, and software used to generate new knowledge such as further information objects, scientific publications, and exhibitions, among others (Lamprecht et al. 2020).
Open Data Sets:
“Open data is data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone -subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike” (source: OpenDataHandbook.org)
Use and creation of institutional data sets –Creation of website usage data –Creation of survey data –Use and creation of knowledge graphs –Use of social media data
Open Standards Data:
“Open standards for data are documented, reusable agreements that help people and organisations to publish, access, share and use better quality data.” (source: Open Data Institute)
- Use and creation of shared vocabularies –Creation of guidance for use of open standards data
Open Standards Technology:
“An open standard is a standard that is freely available for adoption, implementation and updates. A few famous examples of open standards are XML, SQL and HTML” (Source, IBM)
- Computer Vision - NLP
Open SourceTechnology:
“At its core, open source code is created to be freely available, and most licenses allow for the redistribution as further information objects, scientific publications, and exhibitions, among others (Lamprecht et al. 2020).

Content Information:
Content Data Object: information detailing the characteristics and features of the Content Data Object itself that are necessary to render and understand its content.
Representation Information: hardware/software environment capable of rendering or displaying the Content Data Object in the form in which it currently exists in the archival store.
Environment Description
Software Environment: the collection of digital objects – e.g., Internet Explorer and Windows 95 – that, when combined, enable access to the content of the archived object
Hardware Environment: consists of physical objects – primarily computer-related equipment such as monitors, microprocessors, and memory chips – that are necessary to operate the software environment.
