Digital Curation Training: The nestor Activities
In the last few years the issue of curation of research data has become a topic of enhanced interest in scientific communities. But there is no clear understanding of how to deal with curation of research data. Regarding the situation in Germany, there was no clear picture of the methods that different academic disciplines use to preserve and curate their research data. Even more there was no clear understanding and consensus which role libraries could or should play in this issue. A baseline study was conducted in cooperation with nestor and the D-Grid GmbH in Germany. The study gives more stable data to scientists, service infrastructure experts and politicians to foster strategic concepts for digital curation and preservation in and between the disciplines. The survey addressed eleven disciplines including the humanities, social sciences, psycholinguistics, pedagogics, classical studies, geoscience, climate research, biodiversity, particle physics, astronomy and medicine. Results can be seen as more or less representative for the situation in Germany. Findings show that libraries and data centers are involved but there is no clear result on the role libraries should or will play in the field. Libraries which are in close connection to scientists have an advantage in being addressed as institutions responsible for digital curation and preservation. Librarian's competences regarding research data still have to be proofed. Nevertheless individual scientists and research data centers might need librarian´s expertise regarding the application of metadata standards and the provision of services in connection with the research data curated by institutions. Qualification and training regarding curation of research data is still at its beginning and should be addressed by programs of universities.

One of the versatile tasks of the project nestor is to develop guidelines for the long-term preservation of digital objects in Germany and to propose national preservation strategies. A national preservation policy forms the framework for the efforts within the long-term preservation and thus determines intentions, aims and responsibilities. A possible preservation policy needs to consider a range of different factors, as e.g. - the federal structure in Germany and thus the relation between the Federal Government and the several States - the interests of the particular institutions (archives, libraries, museums, universities etc.) - the needs which result from managing different material (text, image, audio, primary data etc.) and - the different professional and financial responsibilities as well as the rights issues that are inherent in the digital preservation. This paper will summarize the results that have been made in the nestor project concerning the development of a national preservation policy. ; Eine der vielfältigen Aufgaben des Projektes nestor besteht darin, Richtlinien für die Langzeitarchivierung digitaler Objekte in Deutschland zu entwickeln und nationale Strategien vorzuschlagen. Eine nationale LZA-Policy steckt den Rahmen der Bemühungen um die Langzeiterhaltung digitaler Objekte ab und legt Absichten, Ziele und Zuständigkeiten fest. Eine zu entwickelnde LZA-Policy muss eine Reihe unterschiedlicher Faktoren berücksichtigen wie z.B. - die föderale Struktur in Deutschland und damit das Verhältnis von Bund und Ländern, - die Interessen der unterschiedlichen Berufsstände (Archiv, Bibliothek, Museum, Universitäten etc.), - die Notwendigkeiten, die sich aus der Behandlung unterschiedlicher Materialarten (Text, Bild, Audio, Primärdaten etc.) ergeben und - Fragen nach den sachlichen und finanziellen Zuständigkeiten sowie juristische Aspekte, die sich aus der digitalen Langzeitarchivierung ableiten. Der Vortrag wird die bisherigen Ergebnisse zusammenfassen, die im Rahmen des Projekts nestor zur ...

Established in 2005 as part of the German nestor competence network, the nestor "Qualification" working group addresses questions of training and education in digital preservation for a broad and heterogeneous target audience. We introduce the five core areas of activity of the working group, giving an overview of the lessons learned and an outlook on future developments. In particular, we focus on the cooperation in the field of initial vocational education and the development of shared curricidar modules in this area.
