She highlighted a project to export records from ⁨#OpenText⁩ ⁨#ContentServer⁩ to their digital preservation system (Arkivum) with the help of ⁨#OPF⁩. This tool could be useful to others who need to leave OpenText, and I hope we can further develop this and open it to a wider community! #ipres2026

I arrived in London for a two-day workshop. Not on #digipres, but on nuclear #fusion (and #archiving fusion projects)! I caught a beautiful early spring day and snapped the back of the Albert Memorial while walking in Kensington Gardens. Pretty cool!

Looking to replace my iPhone 8, and I’m trying to decide whether to get a newer generation of #iPhone or finally switch to a smartphone with #Linux. I’m particularly interested in the #fairphone. Anyone have experiences? Recommendations? Preferred Linux distribution for phones?

#icabarcelona2025 Archivists also need the authority to monitor compliance with retention schedules (and the responsibility to create records). If the archivists cannot enforce this, they may need to quit and/or inform the public

#icabarcelona2025 This doesn’t mean we need to save everything forever. We still need retention schedules. But we need to retain records for at least the length of time that the persons directly affected would reasonably need access to those records.

#icabarcelona2025 Really great project, that has moved from documentation to achieving sustainable development outcomes for the Moklen community, including access to opportunities for learning and using the Moklen language & defending land rights. The portal is here: www.arts.chula.ac.th/moklen/

A digital display focuses on "Moklen Cultural Heritage Categories," featuring three sections with icons and brief descriptions. It's set against a backdrop of a mountainous seascape. A QR code is present for further engagement.

#icabarcelona2025 The project working with the Moklen community in Thailand was challenging for several reasons. Moklen is endangered, and there is no written version of the language. Most of the cultural heritage is intangible. They agreed with the community on what to document

When searching for it, the AI overview seems to know more about the Open Fixed-layout Document (OFD) format than the search results! I'm guessing this is because the AI version is essentially translating Chinese sources that the search isn't showing me? #digipres

This is what was shared on the file structure:

A presentation slide titled "3.1 File Structure" discusses the "XML+ZIP" technical architecture, highlighting its similarity to OOXML and ODF. It explains that ZIP serves as a container for the entire OFD file, with resource files stored in the zip. Other content is described using XML and compressed with the Deflate algorithm.

#icabarcelona2025 Alan Cobley mentioned an editorial on AI & the Caribbean in the Jamaica Gleaner (including risks of replicating & prioritizing Western thoughts & culture, especially based on the selection of training data).

It’s wild that Caribbean archival collections held in institutions of the Global North (aka former colonizers) are behind paywalls or only available by paying for paper or digital copies, including for those from the Caribbean. Example: digitized newspapers #icabarcelona2025

It isn’t surprising, but it’s still heartbreaking that so many archives from former colonies were removed from the countries where they were created and/or deliberately destroyed. Few (almost none?) have been restored to the countries that should rightly hold them #icabarcelona2025

Has anyone worked with ODF/A? Have it in your corpus? I found it interesting that one of the reasons for developing ODF/A was issues around Chinese characters in PDF (example: difficulties in copying from PDF). #digipres @wtfpdf@mastodon.social #icabarcelona2025 #wtfpdf

This approach not only minimizes the risk of ambiguity in the presentation of the original file but also provides adequate and compliant conditions for traceability in subsequent archival management. #icabarcelona2025
