Collaborative Expedition Workshop #63
July 17-18, 2007 at National Science Foundation
NSF Board Room
Building the Way Forward Together:
Towards Stable Meaning and Records Preservation in Information-Sharing
Workshop Purpose
The purpose of the workshop is to envision greater possibilities for robust cyberinfrastructure to accommodate routine public record-keeping, as well as agile responsiveness in the event of regional or global disasters. Participants will share lessons learned from virtual organizations (informal to formal, non-government to multi-government), employing the quality record-keeping needed for trust in relationships. The workshop will open up dialogue and facilitate "bootstrapping" among multiple communities committed to advancing records management capacity for electronically stored information. The workshop supports information exchange among Federal Enterprise Architecture improvement activities advancing citizen-centric government.
Workshop Questions
1. What are the relationships among records, repositories and rights of citizens that need to be understood and reflected in cyberinfrastructure?
2. How can relevant stakeholders tap "build to share" principles being advanced by forward-looking stewardship organizations, including:
a) Successful self-organizing, global volunteers (i.e.Tsunami wiki, Ontolog Forum),
b) information management practitioner communities including (ontologists, researchers, economic development specialists, records managers, and librarians) advancing sound approaches for electronically stored information (i.e. Data Reference Model, NASA, NARA, World Bank) and
c) Open Standards bodies (i.e. OMG, OASIS, W3C)
3. What are the common lessons that can be distilled among communities whose experience with distributed collaboration infrastructures is deep and diverse?
4. What are the emerging strategies for advancing public record-keeping infrastructures and telework environments with the resilience needed to mitigate disaster-related risks of disruptions to individual and institution-based records management services (i.e. financial, property, health)?
5. What are the emerging strategies for advancing public record-keeping infrastructures with the resilience to mitigate litigation risks associated with E-Discovery?
The second day of the workshop will draw on findings from the first and focus on “bootstrapping" among contributing communities advancing records management capacity for electronically stored information including: Records Management Community of Practice, led by NARA and OMG, Ontolog Forum, Federal E-Discovery Working Group, and Federal Information and Records Management Council.
