v1.0 of the JISC-PoWR Report released

Jordan — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:59:01 +0000

The JISC project on Preservation of Web Resources (JISC-PoWR) project, of which I’ve contributed some of the legal work, has just released v1.0 of the Handbook at: http://jiscpowr.jiscinvolve.org/handbook/. A DOI or URI will likely be on its way, but until then you can always get the latest version at that URL.

I’m really pleased with the way the JISC-PoWR Handbook has turned out and had a great time participating in the project. Thanks to Marieke, Ed, Richard, Brian, and Kevin for all their hard work and for including me in the project team. There are lots of plans for continuing the work started here, so be sure and stay tuned to the JISC-PoWR blog for more information.

Draft PoWR Handbook

Quick note to say that you can have a look at the draft PoWR handbook, for which I contributed on the legal materials, at the PoWR blog site:

http://jiscpowr.jiscinvolve.org/handbook/

It includes sections and information on open content and open data, as well as some of the general legal issues around preservation on the web.

Any comments on the legal section warmly welcomed.

On 20 November, I spoke at the London CC Salon about the results of the report on open content licences and the UK cultural heritage sector. Special thanks to Tim for setting up the event, and for the small but well informed crowd who attended.

I gave a talk on the 23rd of November on database rights and open data, as mentioned earlier on this blog. I’ve uploaded the handout and presentation from my talk last week on open data and database licensing for the digital curation community in Glasgow. Thanks again to the organisers of the event and to all who attended and for the great questions. I’ll place some additional resources and links up soon.
