title: Computational Access to Digital Material: Exploring topics around engagement, ethics and resources
creators: Leontien Talboom Jenny Mitcham
abstract: Computational access is a newly emerging approach to access within the digital preservation community. This type of access is becoming more widely discussed, but a lot of uncertainties are present around the term. A guide is being created as part of a collaborative piece of work between the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and Leontien Talboom, Software Sustainability Institute (SSI) fellow 2021 to help digital preservation practitioners to understand the topic and take some practical steps towards implementation. The creation of this guide is leading to much wider discussions on this topic, many of which will not find their way into the guide in much detail. This panel session will therefore provide an opportunity and platform to discuss these issues in greater depth with a range of practitioners with practical experience in this area.
