DA Blog at One

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 3rd November, 2008

Technorati has just published its latest State of the Blogosphere survey, and DA Blog is a year old, so it seems like a fitting time to take stock and ask some questions of this little blog of ours. Editor: According to the Technorati survey “Self expression and sharing expertise are the top reasons for blogging, [...]

JISC-PoWR @ IWMW2008

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 25th July, 2008

Seems I turned up just in time for the UKOLN IWMW 2008 event at Aberdeen. The sun was shining, weather was sweet, and the University buildings in Old Aberdeen looked magnificent. Not only outside – the Conference Hall in the Old King’s Library is a beautiful example of state of the art conferencing facilities, complete [...]

Significant Properties Workshop @ BL

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 8th April, 2008

I don’t think I could begin to do justice in a few words to the wide-ranging debate at the JISC/BL/DPC Workshop on Significant Properties at the British Library on Monday: I’d rather leave it to others to analyse the significant outcomes in more detail, or to further discussions like the one started by Chris Rusbridge [...]

Open Repositories 2008 in Southampton

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 2nd April, 2008

Enjoyed the last couple of days at OR08 in Southampton, catching up with the OR crowd and developments, as well as presenting on our work with Eprints for Linnean Online and SNEEP. The conference was organised with gusto by Les Carr and the Southampton team, who kept things moving at a rapid pace, seemingly unphased [...]

En directo desde Mexico

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 28th March, 2008

Here’s a picture hot off the press from Patricia at the ICA seminar for Mexican archivists. Patricia will be telling them all about her work on DPTP (in Spanish), and hopefully tell us all about her trip when she gets back.

DPTP: Live from Edinburgh

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 5th March, 2008

Just to demonstrate a bit of “live” photo-blogging, here are a couple of camera-phone pictures direct from the DPTP course currently under way in Edinburgh, where Kevin, Patricia, Ed and others are conducting the course for staff of the National Library of Scotland, the National Archives of Scotland and Edinburgh University Library.

Eprints Web 2.0 Pow-wow followup

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 18th December, 2007

Thursday’s Eprints Web 2.0 Pow-wow in London was a great opportunity to discuss the issues with the Southampton team and others working at the bleeding-edge of the Eprints coal-face. In the morning, discussion ranged far and wide around Web 2.0 and Social Networking, and we were grateful to Kevin for assuming the mantle of facilitator [...]

EPrints Web 2.0 Pow-wow

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 5th December, 2007

Following discussions on EP-tech and at last week’s JISC Repositories Programme meeting in Bristol, ULCC and Southampton University have organised an informal seminar in London on Thursday December 13th to discuss Eprints and Web 2.0. The conversation is likely to be developer-led, but we welcome participation by anyone with an interest in the field. The [...]

Posted by: Richard M. Davis on: 29th November, 2007

On Tuesday Mick, Tim and I attended London Metropolitan Network’s half-day seminar Digital Repositories: What are our expectations? Maria from LMN had put together an excellent programme covering key areas of repository background and developments. Martin Moyle covered SHERPA-LEAP; Andrew McGregor outlined the JISC’s current initiatives (our own PRIMO project got an honourable mention); Les [...]
