Curation cost exchange platform

This demonstration proposal describes the Curation Cost Exchange platform (CCEx), a web application that allows organizations to introduce, analyse, share and compare the cost of their digital curation activities. It is also a central hub for digital curation costing related information; and is a social platform that brings together organizations with the same problems and allows sharing of experiences, good practices and know-how. The CCEx is an output of the 4C Project (a Collaboration Clarify the Costs of Curation) and the relationship of the CCEx to other 4C Project outputs will also be briefly described.This work was co-funded by KEEP SOLUTION

D3.2 Cost Concept Model and Gateway Specification

This document introduces a Framework supporting the implementation of a cost concept model against which current and future cost models for curating digital assets can be benchmarked. The value built into this cost concept model leverages the comprehensive engagement by the 4C project with various user communities and builds upon our understanding of the requirements, drivers, obstacles and objectives that various stakeholder groups have relating to digital curation. Ultimately, this concept model should provide a critical input to the development and refinement of cost models as well as helping to ensure that the curation and preservation solutions and services that will inevitably arise from the commercial sector as ‘supply’ respond to a much better understood ‘demand’ for cost-effective and relevant tools. To meet acknowledged gaps in current provision, a nested model of curation which addresses both costs and benefits is provided. The goal of this task was not to create a single, functionally implementable cost modelling application; but rather to design a model based on common concepts and to develop a generic gateway specification that can be used by future model developers, service and solution providers, and by researchers in follow-up research and development projects.<p></p> The Framework includes:<p></p> • A Cost Concept Model—which defines the core concepts that should be included in curation costs models;<p></p> • An Implementation Guide—for the cost concept model that provides guidance and proposes questions that should be considered when developing new cost models and refining existing cost models;<p></p> • A Gateway Specification Template—which provides standard metadata for each of the core cost concepts and is intended for use by future model developers, model users, and service and solution providers to promote interoperability;<p></p> • A Nested Model for Digital Curation—that visualises the core concepts, demonstrates how they interact and places them into context visually by linking them to A Cost and Benefit Model for Curation.<p></p> This Framework provides guidance for data collection and associated calculations in an operational context but will also provide a critical foundation for more strategic thinking around curation such as the Economic Sustainability Reference Model (ESRM).<p></p> Where appropriate, definitions of terms are provided, recommendations are made, and examples from existing models are used to illustrate the principles of the framework

e-Journal Archiving Implementation Group - JARVIG 1 Meeting Proceedings

The purpose of the group is to examine and propose an implementable infrastructure for e-journal archiving in the UK. The objective of the first meeting of the group was: to agree and sign off the terms of reference for the group; and to agree on the scope of the relevant inputs into the discussion of the design of the infrastructure

Bibliographic Data Roadmap Group Meeting 2

Notes from the second meeting of the Bibliographic Data Roadmap Group to discuss action on bibliographic data for librarie

National Bibliographic Knowledgebase - Participant Framework

To set out the detailed basis on which the NBK and all of its features, tools and services can be delivered to all organisations and individuals who wish to contribute to, or make use of the products that will be on offer

Library Data Market - Statement of Requirements

This document sets out the need to survey, evaluate and make practical path-finding recommendations to improve prospects for the sharing and re-use of bibliographic data across the library data marketplace. The outcome of this work should support Jisc to implement measures and take action in ways that benefit the library community (in particular academic libraries who are Jisc members); whilst also dealing fairly with commercial and not-for-profit data suppliers, some of whom invest heavily in data creation and are an essential part of the library data ecosystem

Jisc NBK Participant Framework - version 6.0

To set out the detailed basis on which the National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK) and all of its current and future features, tools and services (delivered as part of the Library Hub suite of services) can be delivered to all organisations and individuals who wish to contribute to, or make use of the products that will be on offer

NBK Stakeholder Update March 2018

Jisc and OCLC have been working together since February 2017 to design and build the National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK). This is a new national service that aggregates bibliographic and holdings data at scale from UK academic and specialist libraries and will seek to combine it with other sources of data including: circulation data, eBook publishing data, usage statistics, and data about open access resources. By July 2019, the objective is for the NBK to combine and supersede the functions of two existing Jisc services (Copac and SUNCAT) and to provide an enhanced and scaled-up single service to librarians, researchers and learners

Bibliographic Data Services and The National Monograph Strategy - Next Steps

This paper summarises the recommendations of a recent report produced by Sero Consulting & Associates that was commissioned (by Jisc) to examine the implications of pursuing specific bibliographic data strategies with reference to the recommendations of the National Monograph Strategy. It reflects input from representatives of RLUK, SCONUL, the British Library and others. It also sets out a brief response to the report from Jisc and some proposals for immediate next steps

NBK Update February 2018

The National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK) will aggregate bibliographic data at scale and link with a number of other data sources to inform library collection management decisions and to help users more effectively find, access and use print and digital scholarly resource
