Invitation

[AHDS Performing Arts] , with [AHDS Archaeology] , [English Heritage] and [UKOLN] , is holding a one-day workshop at the [University of Glasgow] , on Wednesday 19th May. The workshop will address the documentation of digital resources, with particular focus on the needs of Arts and Humanities researchers and data creators in the HE sector.

Documentation is becoming increasingly important in the digital world, not just to aid resource discovery, but also to ensure the long term viability of digital materials in a constantly changing environment. This workshop will cover the use of different kinds of metadata, and why such documentation is so important for the successful completion of any digitisation project.

This event will be of interest to all researchers involved in the creation, dissemination and use of high quality digital research resources in the Arts and Humanities. The workshop will be of special interest to those who are preparing an application for one of the funding schemes organised by the Arts and Humanities Research Board or the Joint Information Systems Committee.
