Demonstrating a Digital Curation Workflow using the BitCurator Environment

Abstract

This demonstration will highlight several key steps in a digital curation workflow that incorporates digital forensics tools and methods. Using the open-source BitCurator environment, I will demonstrate several discrete tasks, how they can feed into each other, and considerations related to incorporating them into a larger set of curation practices within collecting institutions. A strong emphasis will be placed on features of the software that have been added or enhanced over the past year, including mounting and exporting of files from forensically packaged disk images, identification of duplicate files, generation of PREMIS metadata and initial steps toward redaction of potentially sensitive information.
