Online Booking Form
The workshop on the
18th March, run by the Arts and Humanities Data Service, is designed to introduce data creators to the
key issues in digitisation and data creation. (It is an updated version of a previous workshop on digitisation run by the AHDS.)
Many projects applying for funding or commencing digitisation are unsure of how to manage or deal with the various elements involved in the creation of digital data. The AHDS Digitisation Workshop aims to cover each of the relevant themes, giving delegates a coherent idea of how they should be organising their projects. This includes
- Funding and Managing Projects
- Data Capture
- Metadata and Documentation
- Depositing and Disseminating Resources
- Copyright
Staff from each of the AHDS Subject Centres will be present on the day and delegates may book surgery sessions with AHDS staff to speak about the issues facing their own project. Informal lunch and coffee breaks will also give delegates the chance to speak to AHDS staff and other delegates that are present.
The workshops are open to any institution or individual who is planning or running a project with digital outputs.
The workshop on the
19th March, run by the Arts and Humanities Data Service, is aimed at staff working in Research Support Offices at Higher Education Institutions .
Many Research Offices at Higher Education Institutions are still unsure about how to best advise their researchers when it comes to dealing with digital outputs from their research. The AHDS Workshop for Research Offices aims to cover each of the relevant themes, giving delegates a coherent idea of how they should advise researchers in their institutions. This includes
- Project and Risk Management
- Digital Curation and Preservation
- Paying for Preservation
- Legal and Ethical responsibilities
Staff from each of the AHDS Subject Centres will be present on the day and delegates may book surgery sessions with AHDS staff to speak about the issues facing their own institution or projects they advise. Informal lunch and coffee breaks will also give delegates the chance to speak to AHDS staff and other delegates that are present.
The workshops are open to any institution or individual who is advising and supporting research at their institutions.
Both workshops will address the difficulties researchers and Institutions are facing with the end of the AHDS. At this last set of AHDS workshops we will discuss how best to ensure the long-term curation and preservation of valuable digital data.
