The CESSDA Data Archiving Guide (DAG) is a new resource developed by CESSDA (Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives). It is designed to provide employees at data archives and repositories with an understanding of the work a data archive performs.
In this Data Trail video, we will introduce the different chapters of the DAG and share how DANS’ own policies and workflows correspond to the recommendations and what our next steps would be. This video is intended as a resource for (CESSDA) service providers and other data archives that want to learn more about the CESSDA DAG and how to incorporate it into their own training.
The DANS Data Trail itself is the live premiere of this video resource: on May 16th, 1pm CEST you can watch the video. You can already leave comments and click the bell icon to receive notifications. When the video premieres on our YouTube channel. When the first playthrough happens at 1pm, there will be a live chat alongside the video where you can leave comments, answer our prompts, and ask questions to our staff featured in the video (Ricarda Braukmann, Valentijn Gilissen, Maaike Verburg, and Kim Ferguson). The video will be presented in English (with subtitles available) and you can ask questions in the chat in Dutch or English. After the first playthrough, the video will remain available as a resource on the DANS YouTube channel (as well as the chat for a live playthrough if desired).
