Description: This workshop will focus on the development and implementation of workflows for digital curation, focusing specifically on those that incorporate open-source software. The facilitators are part of the Open Source Software Archival Workflow (OSSArcFlow) project, which brings together researchers, developers of three major OSS digital stewardship systems, and digital stewards at twelve partner institutions including government archives, research institutes, and academic and public libraries. This is workshop is intended to be a very inclusive and interactive event. We will ask participants to submit short (1-2 pages) summaries in advance of some activities or challenges that they would like to present. Such submission will not be required, but it will be strongly encouraged. We will rely on the designated speakers to provide brief introductory remarks to motivate the main issues and guide the discussions. Participants who submitted summaries will then give short presentations We, as the facilitators, will then run break-out discussions in order to allow all participants to collectively identify areas of potential alignment or differences that they would like to explore further.
