Japanese Tutorial 1
ディジタルリソースの長期保存に関する概観
Shigeo Sugimoto
ディジタルリソースの長期保存は困難ではあるが取り組まねばならない問題として広く理解されている。ここではディジタルリソースの長期保存に関する基本的な理解を得ることを目的として、ディジタルリソースの長期保存の考え方、ディジタルリソースの長期保存の標準モデルであるOAIS（Open Archival Information System）等を紹介し、技術的な面からディジタルリソースの長期保存を俯瞰する。

METS Editorial Board Annual Face-to-Face Meeting
Betsy Post and Tom Habing
The METS schema is a standard for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library. Topics to be discussed at this year’s annual board meeting include the development of METS Lite, METS RDF, relationship to other standards, and maintenance of the existing 1.0 schema.
The meeting is open to the public. Potential attendees include METS users and potential users, adopters of closely allied schemas, such as PREMIS and ALTO, as well as anyone with a general interest in formats that promote standards based description for the exchange of complex digital objects.

Japanese Tutorial 2
社会調査個票デジタルデータの収集、保存、二次分析について
Yukio Maeda
確率標本抽出にもとづく社会調査は1940年代のアメリカ合衆国で始まるが、その初期からデータの共有、保存、二次分析は研究者集団にとって重要な関心事であった。このチュートリアルでは、データの保存と二次分析という観点から、社会調査の歴史を素描した後、日本の現状を東京大学社会科学研究所が行っているデータの収集・保存・提供活動を中心に解説する。また、情報技術の急速な発展に伴って近年生じている変化について紹介する。

Digital Curation of Historical and Cultural Resources in Japan (2)
歴史資料デジタル記録として何を記述すべきか―日本とアジアと世界― (with translation)
Organizer: Makoto Goto (国立歴史民俗博物館 National Museum of Japanese History)
Presenter: John Ertl, Yoshiko Shimadzu, Shigeki Moro
日本における歴史資料保存の手法には様々なあり方がある。究極的に「何を未来に伝えるべきか」という論点は、現物だけではなくデジタルデータでも同様の課題を抱える。そこで、本セッションでは、デジタルデータ記録の前提となる「何を記録すべきか」「そのための歴史資料情報のデジタルでの記録の課題は何か」という根本の部分を考古学・文化財科学・デジタルの分野から考えたい。
There are a variety of methodologies for preserving historical resources in Japan. Ultimately, the main point “What and how can we predict the future?” matters not only the original resources but also digital data. This session addresses underlying problems, “What do we record?” and “What are the outstanding issues for information record from historical resources” from the scope of archaeology, scientific studies on cultural properties, and digital.

Keynote (1)
FAIR Data in Trustworthy Data Repositories
Speaker: Ingrid Dillo (Data Archiving and Networked Services, Netherlands)
Title: FAIR Data in Trustworthy Data Repositories
Chair: Klaus Rechert
National and international funders are increasingly likely to mandate open data and data management policies that call for the long-term storage and accessibility of data. Open data and data sharing can only become a success if we put the concept of trust central stage. The certification of digital repositories is an important means to provide this trust to the different stakeholders involved. In this keynote 1 will talk about data sharing, repository certification and the concept of FAIR data.

Asian Session
Reports and Discussion
Countries in the Asia-Pacific region are very diverse in terms of culture, language and economic environments. Long-term management, keeping and use of digital resources is a common and pressing concern for many of these countries which are producing more and more digital resources. However, reports on digital preservation activities are lacking, especially from the countries in East and South-East Asia. This session is aimed to share up-to-date information about developments of digital archives and digital preservation in East and South-East Asia and to discuss issues on digital preservation in this region with the audience from other parts of the world.
This session will first present five talks by invited speakers from Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Thailand and Singapore about digital preservation at the speakers’ institutions and/or countries. Then, we solicit voluntary reports from other Asian countries followed by general discussions with the audience.
Moderator: Natalie Pang (Nanyang Technological University)
Invited Speakers: Shuji Kamitsuna (National Diet Library, Japan), Sophy Shu-Jiun CHEN (Academia Sinica, Taiwan), Lee Kee Siang (National Library Board, Singapore), Wararak Pattanakiatpong (Chiang Mai University, Thailand), Chito Angeles (University of the Philippines Diliman, Philippines)

Endeavors of Digital Game Preservation in Japan- A Case of Ritsumeikan Game Archive Project
Speaker: Akinori NAKAMURA (College of Image Arts and Sciences, Ritsumeikan Univeresity, Japan)
In 1998, one of the first academic institutions, which focuses on pursuing the appropriate ways of the video game preservation, the Game Archive Project has been established. The sentiment toward the digital games being products rather than “viable cultural artifact”, the efforts have started slowly. In our continuous efforts to enlighten academic as well as the professional community for this cause, however, the importance of the preservation activities has been embraced in both domestic and international communities, leading to being a part of the national project for the creating of the Media Art Database D by the Agency of Cultural Affairs, Japan. The present paper attempt to introduce an overview of our efforts.

Using ePADD to Appraise, Process, and Provide Access to Historically and Culturally Valuable Email Collections
Tutorial – Josh Schneider

Instruction for participants

Attendees of the ePADD tutorial must bring a laptop meeting minimum benchmarks, including at least 8 GB RAM, and a 64-bit OS (Windows 7 SP1 / 10, or Mac OSX 10.11 / 10.112 is fine), with the latest 64-bit Java 8 installed. They will also need an updated version of either the Chrome or Firefox browser. ePADD requires that the user have administrative access to install.

If possible, attendees should download the ePADD 4.1 release from Github prior to the tutorial: https://github.com/ePADD/epadd/releases/tag/v4.1. (Windows users should download epadd.exe and epadd-settings.zip. Mac users should download epadd.dmg and epadd-settings.zip.) We will be installing the software together.

I will also be providing attendees with a test archive at the start of the tutorial.
