Designated Communities

The concept of Designated Community is central to OAIS and to certification standards such as CoreTrustSeal. In this #DPClinic session we will discuss the concept of designated communities, what it means and why it is important. After an introduction from Hervé L'Hours (UK Data Archive and vice-chair of the CoreTrustSeal Board), there will be a chance for Q&A and discussion and attendees will be invited to share their own experiences of defining and working with their own designated community.

Who can use #DPClinic?

#DPConnect and #DPClinic are available to everyone in the digital preservation community, DPC Members and non-members alike, provided all participants are respectful and supportive of one another and adhere to the DPC's Inclusion and Diversity Policy.
