Meeting notes
Call focused on what we’re doing as a community with the DSpace file format registry.
What are institutions doing with this registry? What do the ‘levels of support’ mean at your institution - what levels of preservation do these suggest for you? Are institutions modifying the registry that comes packaged with DSpace?
At University of Kansas (KU): as KU was preparing to submit their electronic theses and dissertations to the Digital Preservation Network (DPN), they found a lot of supplemental files that accompanied the primary PDF file. Prompted conversation about these supplemental files - found ~40 filetypes among the set.
At UniveUniversity of Edinburgh: use registry essentially out of the box. Find it a bit clunky and suggest it could be made 'smarter'
