Rapid Assessment Model (DPC RAM) - Digital Preservation Coalition

Aberdeen used the DPC Rapid Assessment Model to assess organizational and technical capabilities in conjunction with Jisc. This helped them to work out exactly what they needed in terms of infrastructure and functional requirements #CopimConference www.dpconline.org/digipres/imp...

Sorry just reread and you asjed about LIS, not US. Need an eye test. But C2PA still interesting...

Much love for C2PA in the #DigitalPreservation community just now. Not created with us in mind but hopes it can help us track the creation and infiltration of slop into official records. Can hook you up if that's a useful angle.

Who do I know in LIS who is working on AI slop…? Any pointers well taken, thanks!

This was also the case with publicly accessible content when I was in charge of such things at @ads-update.bsky.social. Images included research and teaching in forensics. We attached warnings as click through, but no specific age verification. That was early 2000s so probably updated since then.

This also me, but different. I could only afford bargain bucket classical recordings when I was broke, and friends had cash for the new releases of contemporary music. But now I am the one massively enriched (not about money).

I’m running a survey to ask researchers what they want the UK Government Web Archive to offer in the future to enable wider use of the collection. If you’re a web archive user, or you would like to be, please take ten minutes to complete this survey: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/UKGWA-Rese...

Depends which St Stephen. There are multiple. St Stephen of Hungary FD 16th August; St Stephen Harding (Founder of the Cistercian order) FD 26th Jan. Both were a big deal in their own contexts. So maybe it's the eve of another St Stephen?

Today in bureaucratic processes that have lost the run of themselves: 'participants must be aged 18 years and over'. It's quite hard to be simultaneously 18 and older than 18. I think they mean 'participants must be aged 18 years or over'.
