DPF Manager Workshop

[English]

On Wednesday, December 13, PACKED and the Royal Library of Belgium, in collaboration with the University of Girona, organise a workshop “Quality Control of TIFF Files“. The workshop is intended for digital archivists who are responsible for the long-term preservation of TIFF files.

During the workshop you will learn how to gain an insight into the technical properties of TIFF files and what you can do to preserve them for future generations. The workshop is conceived as a hands-on session, where participants get started with TIFF files from their own collection. The purpose is to determine the durability of your TIFF files using the DPF Manager Conformance Checker and to create a policy profile for the files in your collection.

The workshop takes place in the Royal Sky Room 2 (6th floor) of the Royal Library In Brussels. The number of participants is limited to fifteen. Please subscribe to Piet Janssens (piet.janssens@kbr.be) before Friday November 27th.

This workshop has been made possible through the PREFORMA project, funded by the Seventh Framework Program for Research and Innovation of the European Commission.

Op woensdag 13 december organiseren PACKED en de Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België, in samenwerking met de Universiteit van Girona, een workshop “Kwaliteitscontrole van TIFF-bestanden”. De workshop richt zich specifiek op digitale archivarissen die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de preservering van TIFF-bestanden.

Tijdens de workshop leer je inzicht verwerven in de technische eigenschappen van TIFF-bestanden en wat je kan doen om ze voor de komende generaties te bewaren. De workshop is opgevat als een hands-on sessie waarbij de deelnemers aan de slag gaan met TIFF-bestanden uit hun eigen collectie. Het doel is om met behulp van de DPF-Manager Conformance Checker de duurzaamheid van je TIFF-bestanden te bepalen en een bewaarprofiel op te stellen voor de bestanden in jouw collectie.

De workshop gaat door in de Royal Sky Room 2 (6e verdieping) van de Koninklijke Bibliotheek. Het aantal deelnemers is beperkt tot vijftien. Aanmelden kan tot vrijdag 27 november bij Piet Janssens (piet.janssens@kbr.be).

Deze workshop is mede mogelijk gemaakt door het PREFORMA project met financiering van het Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Innovation van de Europese Commissie.
