@archivist-liz.bsky.socialShe highlighted a project to export records from âš#OpenTextâ© âš#ContentServerâ© to their digital preservation system (Arkivum) with the help of âš#OPFâ©. This tool could be useful to others who need to leave OpenText, and I hope we can further develop this and open it to a wider community! #ipres2026

@mikalarae.bsky.socialAt #iPRES2026, Kai Naumann is describing the current state of academic research data.
And yeah, canât agree more.
@bryony-hooper.digipres.club.ap.brid.gy#ipres2026 Karina Praxedes paper, Provenance and Trustworthiness in Research Data, translates archiving principles against research data functions. A Structed approach to documenting Provenance during early stage RDM (rather later in the life cycle)
