WG4 Workshop "Data storage and archiving strategies" in Sofia (NMNHS)

The event will focus on identifying some general strategies in the long-term storage and archiving of object data and assigned multimedia files. This include the discussion on technical and content standards as well as specific conditions which might arise by legal and administrative requirements. We will address approaches of storage and archiving solutions as realised in large and small collections, and discuss the archiving systems of various national and European collection data networks and hosting agencies. The relations to major European open science and research data infrastructures is another issue. This kick-off workshop will provide a guide for the following activities of WG 4 within the next 2-3 years. COST will take over your travel and accommodation cost for invited participants.
