Re: [MCN-L] data archiving

Hi Matt:

What kind of preservation services are you looking for? Backup, regular
migration, integrity audits? Others here can speak to their own methods and
what the best practices are nowadays, but if you're just trying to have an
offsite backup with some redundancy, you might look into Amazon's Glacier.

[MCN-L] data archiving

[Matt Wheeler]

Good evening. In trying to come up with a long-term preservation plan for
digital image master files, we've spoken to reps at a few digital
repositories which offer professional services, but at a higher per-TB
annual storage cost than our small museum can afford (anywhere from
$1200-$2000/TB/year). Are there reputable archives with lower fees? I'm not
sure where to begin looking. Thanks for any insight.

Best regards, Matt

Hi all,

Diane, thanks for the cross-posting. Personally, I love to give a shoutout to 
the PD graduating class via my own Twitter, but that's a great suggestion to 
also get our official museum social(s) accounts on board.

Peter, et al. - rest assured all of the object records for works in our 
collection are reviewed on an item by item basis to make such determinations. 
What we deal with here, by in large, are unpublished works.
Matter of fact, I'm now puzzling a bit over the status of a facsimile edition, 
published 1987, of a 1922 publication by an artist (Robert Mallet-Stevens, 
French, 1886-1945
) who passed away in
1945 [specifically, Une Cite Moderne, Dessins de Rob. Mallet-Stevens 
Architecte, Pub.  Murlot, Paris 1987]. Thoughts on this definitely appreciated.

All best,
Heidi

[MCN-L] DCMI Webinar - Creating Content Intelligence: Harmonized Taxonomy & Metadata in the Enterprise Context

[DCMI Announce]

***PLEASE EXCUSE THE CROSS-POSTING***

Creating Content Intelligence: Harmonized Taxonomy & Metadata in the
Enterprise Context
*DCMI/ASIST Joint Webinar*

*===*
*:: Presenter:* Stephanie Lemieux
*:: Date:* Wednesday, 27 January 2016
*:: Time:* 10:00am - 11:15am EST
 (UTC 15:00:00 - World Clock: http://bit.ly/webinar-lemieux)
*:: Registration:* http://dublincore.org/resources/training/#2016lemieux
*===*

*ABOUT THE WEBINAR:*

Many organizations have content dispersed across multiple independent
repositories, often with a real lack of metadata consistency. The attention
given to enterprise data is often not extended to unstructured content,
widening the gap between the two worlds and making it near impossible to
provide accurate business intelligence, good user experience, or even basic
findability.

How do you bring all those disparate efforts together to create content
intelligence across the organization? This webinar will describe the
benefits and challenges in developing metadata and taxonomy across multiple
functional areas, creating a unified Enterprise Content Architecture (ECA).

Hear about real enterprise metadata & taxonomy harmonization projects in
different contexts, including a greeting card company, a media company, an
automotive manufacturer and a consumer food manufacturer. See how they
worked to harmonize across a number of diverse systems that supported
multiple functions, from creative processes to manufacturing to reporting.

In this webinar, you will learn:

   - how the concept of Enterprise Content Architecture unifies multiple
   disciplines, including information management, data management and content
   strategy;
   - the difference and similarities between master data and business
   metadata;
   - how enterprise-level metadata and taxonomy helps drive semantic
   interoperability and improve business processes;
   - how taxonomy can be harmonized across diverse systems and provided as
   a service; and
   - how to build support and governance for enterprise-level attention to
   taxonomy and metadata from within a project.

*Participant Experience Level:* Basic familiarity with taxonomy and
metadata assumed.

*ABOUT THE PRESENTER:*

*Stephanie Lemieux* is the President and Primary Consultant at Dovecot
Studio. She is a passionate advocate of taxonomy, search and other
marvelous pursuits in content organization. She has worked with
organizations in various industries, such as Nickelodeon, General Mills,
UPS, and the United Nations. Prior to focusing her energies on Dovecot
Studio, she was a senior consultant and taxonomy practice lead with Earley
& Associates. She speaks, blogs and writes whenever she can to help spread
the good taxonomy word. Stephanie has a Masters degree in Library and
Information Studies (MLIS) from McGill University with a specialization in
knowledge management.
