Re. Discrepancies in the article on OSS
by rajendra singh 27 May '11

27 May '11

I have read the article as well as the comment. I have also been trained in NewGenLib at NISCAIR. Mr. Giri was the resource person. He always told that there were certain difficulties, he did not overcome by the time and need more experimentation and discussion at NewGenlib Forum. As he told that Mr Em Siddhartha of NewGenLib is very positively responsive to solve problems, one is advised to put the difficulties at NewGenlib Forum. Certain problems he told in the class, has been solved by himself later on. I have implemented NewGenlib in our library and he provided help with out taking a single penny from us. In OSS, findinig a problem in the software and searching for its solution is very lively and continuous process. Also, with the coming of latest version, some earlier problems has already been removed. Thus, I don't find any discrepancies in article at all. About the intention of the author in the article, It is nothing but the process of implementation of OSS in Library Regards Rajendra Singh Dy.

Taming the complexity of metadata and semantics in open access infrastructures is a major challenge and the subject of intense ongoing activities worldwide. The impact of these efforts can be very significant, including aspects like enhanced interoperability of open access repositories with repositories, aggregators as well as external services and applications, reduced cost of information exchange and integration, wide re-use of repository data and services across disciplines and availability of high quality, reliable value-added services over repositories.

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, Bangalore- 560059 DRTC Colloquium (5) 2010-2012 Digital Curation Scientists, researchers and scholars do not only generate vast amounts of digital research data, but they also invest more in digital media by acquiring digital content and information from third parties. Once created, the data immediately falls into the data management and adding value categories. Preservation and management of this data becomes crucial for future use. The major issues are (1) With the advancement in digital technology, hardware and software may become outmoded and information may become inaccessible. (2) Other users may be unable to understand or use data. (3) Access and use restrictions may make it difficult for others to re-use data etc There are many more issues concerned with the digital data especially the data which is the outcome of a scientific research. After the data is created, the management and preservation of data is an important task. In this colloquia the discussion shall be focused on the techniques adopted to preserve and maintain this data. Also the role is research support, data scientist, data manager, informatician, data librarian or research assistant will be discussed in building the research teams capacity and capability for digital curation and data preservation.
