How does the law influence the archivists’ tasks? Many archival aspects are regulated by national and European law. Data in particular is heavily regulated at the European level. How does the law understand the archive, data, metadata, research, an original work, an author? As archivists and data stewards it is important to understand how this influences the rights within the archive and the obligations of (digital) archives, but how to apply them in practice? These questions will be tackled in this workshop, alongside a broader introduction and discussion on the applicable laws.
Louise de Bethune (Tue,) studied this question.
