How are we approaching identification, selection, #appraisal in #digitalpreservation right now? Which reference documents are we using? And what does 'long-term' mean anyway? 🤔 @eosc-eden.bsky.social did a survey - I've blogged about our findings: codata.org/blog/2026/03... @codata-isc.bsky.social

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

✨Bringing light to #Access & #Discovery ✨ Preservation only is meaningful if data is findable, accessible and reusable. CPP-024 enables discovery, CPP-025 is responsible for enabling access, and CPP-028 creates derivatives for reuse. 👉 Explore them here: tiny.cc/cpp-desc #EOSCEDEN #CPPs

✨Bringing light to #RightsManagement ✨ Today’s spotlight is on managing rights for Information Objects, covering both internal preservation actions and end-user access and reuse. CPP-020 is your guide to manage legal, policy, and ethical constraints. 👉 tiny.cc/cpp-desc #EOSCEDEN #CPPs

✨Bringing light to #QualityManagement ✨ Your data is special and deserves special treatment. CPP-019 shows how to assess data quality from authenticity to completeness, validity & more. 👏 Explore how to evaluate & re-evaluate the quality of Information Objects: tiny.cc/cpp-desc #EOSCEDEN #CPPs

Another day, another online platform automatically signing you into their AI scraping and exposure without your informed consent. If you're still on academia.edu, here is your reminder to go into settings > AI settings, and switch off 'AI-enhanced Outputs' (or even better, delete your account! 😅)

When a big media company uses genai slop instead of human made art, it is not just taking a job away from one artist to make that thing but *multiple* artists involved in all the things. The entire artist-hiring pipeline gets destroyed in favor of chugging from the hot dogshit pipeline.

So sad that the Roger Billcliffe #artgallery in #Glasgow will be closing at the end of the year. This is probably my favourite private gallery in #Scotland, weathering many storms since 1992.
