LIBNOVA is actively involved in iPRES2022, the 18th International Conference on Digital Preservation.
The 18th International Conference on Digital Preservation, known as iPRES and organised this edition by the Digital Preservation Coalition, will be held in Glasgow from 12th to 16th of September.
LIBNOVA is once again a proud sponsor of the event, but you can also find us at the following activities and presentations:
Online Tutorial: LABDRIVE – A Research Data Management and Digital Preservation Platform
LABDRIVE is a Research Data Management and Digital Preservation platform resulting from the ARCHIVER Project. It allows organizations to capture the research data they produce, helping them to properly manage, preserve and allow access to it, during the whole research data lifecycle.
The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce the main features of LABDRIVE as well as explain how it works through a tutorial (a guided demonstration).

Panel: Lessons Learned During the Implementation of a Digital Preservation Project: Experiences from Europe, USA, and Asia
Before starting a digital preservation project, many things are taken for granted that are discovered during the implementation of the project.
Each implementation of a digital preservation project has its own peculiarities and characteristics, but also many similarities. Generally, preparation processes take much longer than expected, multiple teams within the organization need to be coordinated, and many project details need to be very well planned.
In this panel, representatives of institutions from different GLAM subsectors from different countries (and even continents) will speak from their own experience about the lessons learned during the implementation of their digital preservation project.

Panel: ARCHIVER: Sustainable Preservation of Scientific Data
The ARCHIVER project (Archiving and Preservation for Research Environments) has spent over 3 years designing, prototyping and piloting innovative new services for the Long-Term Digital Preservation (LTDP) of scientific datasets. During the project, multiple Data intensive organizations representing several research domains (CERN, DESY, PIC and EMBL-EBI) have worked closely and collaboratively with suppliers (Arkivum and LIBNOVA) on the research and development of new services and solutions for scientific data preservation relevant for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
This panel session will see the ARCHIVER project participants discuss and share the experience and lessons learned during the project. Topics will include: the benefits of a collaborative approach between end-users and commercial suppliers; the challenges that were addressed along the way and the solutions that were created; and what still needs to be done in order to realize the project vision of sustainable digital preservation services for the whole scientific community that address the needs of organizations both large and small. iPRES 2022 comes just two months after the end of the final Pilot phase of the ARCHIVER project, which makes it an ideal time for the ARCHIVER participants to share their insights and experiences with the wider LTDP community.

The Great Digital Preservation Bake Off
The Digital Preservation Bake Off Challenge is framed as an open, light-hearted competition in which solution providers, developers and coders can demonstrate their products and tools while allowing participants to observe the process and verify the claims they make.
The Great Digital Preservation Bake Off will be staged in three rounds:
- The Starter Course includes all the actions that happen before a digital object is transferred to or ingested into an archive repository;
- The Main Course includes actions once a collection has been transferred into an archive repository;
- The Dessert Course concerns all aspects of access and user engagement with data that has been preserved.
LIBNOVA will participate in the three courses. Each course involves a series of tasks to be performed with a common menu of ingredients in front of an expert ‘Tasting Panel’ comprising digital preservation experts drawn from the iPres Program Committee and audience.
