Archiving Large Swaths of User-Contributed Digital Content: Lessons from Archiving the Occupy Movement, a project briefing session presented at CNI's spring 2012 membership meeting, by Howard Besser (NYU), David Millman (NYU), and Sharon Leon (GMU), is now available on CNI's two video channels:
Archiving born-digital content from the “Occupy” movement can serve as a
prototype for archiving all kinds of user-contributed content. This
presentation features discussion of the tools and methods
that have been developed for ingesting, preserving, and offering discovery
services to large numbers of digital works where contributors cannot really be relied upon to follow standards and metadata assignment.
More videos of other
sessions from the spring 2012 CNI meeting are forthcoming. To see all videos available from CNI, including the opening spring 2012 plenary
Reinventing the Research University to Serve a Changing World by James Duderstadt, and Phil Long's closing plenary
