Users of the Ex Libris Rosetta digital asset management and preservation solution are gathering this week at the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, UK, for the eighth annual meeting of the Rosetta Advisory Group. This meeting marks 10 years since the development of the Rosetta digital asset preservation and management solution began.
The Rosetta 2017 Advisory Group meeting will explore a range of topics, including the importance of digital preservation itself, major challenges facing digital preservation in the future, and ways in which users are taking advantage of the integration capabilities of Rosetta to further streamline their workflows and facilitate their day-to-day preservation and management tasks. Customers will also have an opportunity to join the Ex Libris management team in a discussion of the Rosetta roadmap and to formulate their future needs for digital preservation and management.
This year's keynote speakers will discuss both the central importance and the challenges of digital preservation. Richard Ovenden, Bodley's Librarian at the University of Oxford and president of the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), will speak on 'Fake News and Dark Ads: Why Digital Preservation Has Never Mattered More,' while William Kilbride, executive director of the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), will present the topic 'Change is Here to Stay: What Does It Mean and What Do We Need to Do About It?’ In addition, experts from various institutions will speak about the preservation of complex digital objects, such as research data and harvested websites, in Rosetta; the process of certifying a Rosetta system as a Trusted Digital Repository; and Rosetta's support for the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF).
