Irish Language Digital Preservation and Open Research Terminology

The poster describes a collaborative effort between the Digital Repository of Ireland, Goais, Fiontar & Scoilna Gaeilge (Interdisciplinary School of Irish) at Dublin City University and the University of Galway to drafta standardised set of Irish language terms relating to Digital Preservation, to produce the list as a publicationand to disseminate the list to the Digital Preservation community in Ireland. The list will also be publishedonline at tearma.ie and on the Gaois database. Irish remains a second and minority language in Ireland, andthe project attempts to fill gaps in the existing vocabulary of Irish language words and expressions to accountfor digital preservation activities.The hope is that the project will both facilitate greater Irish language description and accessibility in relation todigital preservation activities while also allowing for superior Irish and dual language integration of resourcesthat are the subject of digital preservation by researchers working in Irish.
