His teams include the museum's web unit, audio visual and photography, rights & permission and the photo library, the research library and Thinkspace, the Powerhouse's digital media teaching laboratories.
Coming from a background in social policy, journalism and media criticism as well as information technology, he has been building and producing websites and interactive media since the mid 1990s. At the Powerhouse he has been responsible for driving a strong user focus in design, usability and content, as well as expanding the scope and reach of the museum's suite of online projects. His focus on audiences and usability has led to an interest in Open Licensing and collaborative ways of enabling deeper engagement with the museum's cultural assets.
His interests include electronic music and digital art, and he has directed and curated large scale national and international events and festivals, and also produces related media from radio broadcasts to print. In his spare time he runs a independent music magazine, Cyclic Defrost.

A graduate of Nottingham Trent and Essex Universities, he received the Queen's Award for Innovation in 1990, numerous Honorary Doctorates and was awarded an OBE in 1999 for his contribution to international communications.
Dr David Giaretta has had extensive experience in planning, developing and running scientific archives and providing and managing a variety of services to large numbers of users. He has made fundamental contributions to the OAIS Reference Model which forms the basis of much digital preservation work far beyond repositories of scientific data, and contributes still to developing the follow on standards.
He has published a number of scientific papers in refereed journals and given presentations at many international conferences, scientific as well as technical. In addition he has broad experience in e-Science and in obtaining funding for and managing distributed teams.
In 2003 he was awarded an MBE for services to Space Science. Dr Giaretta was founding Associate Director for Development in the UK Digital Curation Centre (DCC) and has played an active role in all aspects of that project. More recently he led the successful EU FP6 project CASPAR Integrated Project and the FP7 Support Action PARSE.Insight which has produced a Roadmap for scientific data supported by data from a survey which had a very large number (1000’s) of responses. He leads the work which aims at producing an ISO standard for audit and certification of digital repositories, following on from the work of the RLG/OCLC/NARA working group of which he was also a member, and also leads the recent update of OAIS.

It is very important to read carefully and follow the instructions in the EVA 2010 Author Guidelines document and the detailed guidelines given in the eWiC paper preparation document. You may use the EVA Starter document as a template and replace the sample text with that for your paper, so that you use the required styles.

You are advised to take account of the reviewers' comments, which have been sent to you. Papers will be reviewed immediately after 2 April and a final decision made to accept or not.

We plan to include your paper both in the published proceedings that all delegates will receive as part of their conference registration and also in the online proceedings. However, it is possible that your paper may not be suitable for publication in either way, for a variety of reasons.

In the meantime you should apply to every possible alternative source of funding support. The number of bursaries will be very limited and we expect that demand will be high, so not every request will succeed.
