title: Irish Language Digital Preservation and Open Research Terminology
creators: Kevin Long Noelia Romero
abstract: The poster will describe a collaborative effort between the Digital Repository of Ireland, Goais, Fiontar & Scoil na Gaeilge (Interdisciplinary School of Irish) at Dublin City University and the University of Galway to draft a standardised set of Irish language terms relating to Digital Preservation, to produce the list as a publication and to disseminate the list to the Digital Preservation community in Ireland. The list will also be published  online at tearma.ie and on the Gaois database. Irish remains a second and minority language in Ireland, and the project attempts to fill gaps in the existing vocabulary of Irish language words and expressions to account for digital preservation activities. 
  
  The hope is that the project will both facilitate greater Irish language description and accessibility in relation to digital preservation activities while also allowing for superior Irish and dual language integration of resources that are the subject of digital preservation by researchers working in Irish.
  
  The poster will describe the process by which existing preservation terms were collated and how we have identified gaps in the list, created new translations and produced a standardised set after review. It will also include examples from new list of terms and information on existing resources. A draft set of the terms will be presented at the DPC UnConference in Dublin in May 2024 - feedback and outcomes from this review will also be included in the poster.
