Open Source for Digital Curation

The first installment (or instalment if your in the UK) in the DCC Digital Curation Manual went online earlier this month.  Open Source for Digital Curation was authored by Andrew McHugh and 64 pages in length.  It covers much including:

• Background and Developments to Date


• How does Open Source Apply to Digital Curation?


• Open Source and Free Software In Action


• Quantitative Issues

The DCC project has identified 45 installments which it will write over the course of the project.  Once completed, these should be outstanding resources for projects to tap into.
