1. ACT : Legal Deposit Annotation and Curation Tool Peter Webster British Library peter.webster@bl.uk

2. www.bl.uk 2 Why a new tool ? Because the workflows are changing. Pre-2013 Select & describe -> permission -> collect -> access [Selection & Permission Tool > WCT > Access tool]

3. www.bl.uk 3 Changed workflow Now (with legal deposit): Collect (almost) everything (domain crawl) - > describe (curate) a subset - > ask for permission - > public access

4. www.bl.uk 4 Project scope selection and recording of targets for inclusion in domain crawl, focussed crawl or key sites; annotation and description of targets, including UK territoriality status, keywords or subject terms; grouping of targets into collections and/or other taxonomic structures; QA of archived instances; prioritisation for permission for public access; management of permission requests and recording of responses; release to UKWA.
