Abstract
This poster will use text, images, and screen captures to show aspects of The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model involved in the online digital collection building and preservation of Diatomscapes and FSU "Flying High" Circus archival digital objects. The Diatomscapes digital collection consists of thirty-eight images of biological silica produced from JEOL JSM-840/FEI Nova Nano SEM 400 scanning electron miscropes and the FSU "Flying High" Circus digital collection consists of one-hundred and fifty black & white images and 1 short video created create from a TTI overhead, fixed-back scanner. Both projects are case studies in the application of The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model to digital objects.
Working closely with Florida State University Biological Scientist, Dr. A.K.S.K. Prasad, the FSU Libraries Digital Library Center has begun the application of several aspects of The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model to the curation of Diatomscapes, images of biological silica. The preservation and store aspects of The DCC Curation Lifecycle model applied to Diatomscapes utilizes the MetaArchive, distributed digital preservation network and the Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA) Florida Digital Archive (FDA). The access, use, & reuse aspects of The DCC Curation Lifecycle model applied to Diatomscapes utilizes Picasa and Flickr whereas FSU "Flying High" Circus utilizes FSU Libraries Digital Collections (DigiTool) FSU "Flying High" Circus collection. However, Diatomscapes exist as restricted on-line digital collections in Picasa and Flickr pending publication of species name new to science at which time the digital collections will become open and available in FSU Libraries Digital Collections (DigiTool).
Working closely with Florida State University Special Collections department, the FSU Libraries Digital Library Center has developed the FSU "Flying High" Circus online digital collection in FSU Libraries digital content management system (DigiTool) with archival tiff images preserved via MetaArchive.
The goals of both projects are to create the following:
* Increase awareness, exposure, and application of The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model to digital objects within the biological science research disciplines with future interdisciplinary introduction & application
* Develop a current, best practices, and extensible digital preservation strategy
* Increase access, use, and use of digital objects via catalog, social networking tools, and OCLC WorldCat
