abstract:
This poster presents one of the final outputs produced from a collaborative project between the Digital Preservation Coalition and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in the UK, “Digital preservation requirements for procuring IT systems”. This addition to the Digital Preservation Coalition’s Procurement Toolkit proposes the requirements that should be considered when procuring an IT system (for example an EDRMS, DAMS, or GIS) that may ultimately contain at least some records or digital content that needs to be retained beyond the life of the system.

abstract:
As part of a research project, a small team of preservation experts has been embedded within publisher workflows to analyze the challenges associated with preserving complex scholarly publications. As the project reaches the midway point, patterns are emerging regarding preservation-friendly practices that could potentially be incorporated into production processes and platforms to support preservation at scale. One common threat to the preservability of the analyzed publications is the inclusion of web pages that are hosted by a third party (e.g., YouTube videos, ArcGIS visualizations) within the text using iframes. The team is exploring methods to improve preservability in such instances while considering the constraints of the project partners and the requirement that preservation services can scale their processes across numerous publications.

abstract:
The University of Minnesota Libraries journey with preserving digital materials has been a long one.  After completing an RFP for a preservation system, and then testing that system for multiple years, we decided it was not the system for us. Over 2021 and 2022, we took our requirements along with the lessons we learned from testing, and began to design our own preservation system.  Our main goal with this new system is to preserve the unique materials of the Libraries and to be able to provide access to staff that need copies of preservation files for publication or research requests.  This poster highlights the development process of Tabula, our digital preservation system.

abstract:
This poster presents the preliminary findings of a project that analyzes archival materials about the 1885 Rock Springs Massacre to understand archival silences around the experiences of Chinese people in the United States. We observed that metadata contributes to the exclusion of Chinese people through absent categories, overly narrow subject descriptions, and an emphasis on foreignness and otherness. Future work will identify points of intervention in digital preservation to address these issues.

abstract:
Usually, the resulting digital preservation project is very different from its conception. 
The theory defined before starting a digital preservation project serves as a guide for the beginning of the project, but must be flexible enough to be adapted throughout the implementation to fit the real needs of the organization.
In this panel, representatives of institutions from different GLAM-UR sectors from different countries will speak from their own experience about the evolution of a digital preservation project from its theoretical conception to its real practical implementation.

THE CURRICULAR ASSET WAREHOUSE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS: A Digital Archive’s Sustainability Case Study

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/the-curricular-asset-warehouse-at-the-university-of-illinois-a-d/

abstract:
What happens to the devices that host digital objects – hard drives, monitors, computer peripherals, storage media – when it is time to upgrade digital preservation environments and workflows? Each step of the production and stewardship of digital objects requires devices and software that have short life cycles and multiple drivers of ever faster obsolescence. These devices flow out of digital repositories and contribute to the fastest growing waste stream of the 21st century: electronic waste or “e-waste.“
The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is currently working with the head of the university’s Sustainable Design program to perform a case study of the sustainable management of its large volumes of digital video and image content production and preservation, within an analysis of its institutional purchasing and waste management paradigms. The purpose of this analysis is to determine how device obsolescence at CITL can be mitigated to avoid future costs and to minimize the department’s contribution to the global e-waste problem.

FROM COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED VALUES TO ACTION: Operationalizing the Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/from-community-supported-values-to-action-operationalizing-the-d/

abstract:
Operating from a foundation of shared values, the community-supported digital preservation services represented in the Digital Preservation Services Collaborative (DPSC) empower stewards of digital content to make informed decisions by offering transparency and accountability. These values have become increasingly important as resources for digital preservation fail to meet the needs of organizations, forcing many mission-critical digital preservation activities to be outsourced to commercial providers. In the DPSC Planning Project, this group of mission-aligned service providers are working to establish closer and more intentional collaboration between their organizations, in order to guarantee the continued availability of services that prioritize transparency and accountability to the cultural heritage organizations they serve. In this interactive panel, partners from the DPSC Planning Project will discuss the importance of the shared values for digital preservation good practice, how they have enacted these values within their organizations, and other project findings.

https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/lessons-from-the-future-looking-back-on-policy-development/

abstract:
Policy is an important component of a successful digital preservation program. For example, CoreTrustSeal [1] suggests that a policy statement would be appropriate evidence to demonstrate that a repository has an explicit mission to provide access to and preserve digital objects, and the DPC’s Rapid Assessment Model [2] suggests that a digital preservation policy should be in place in order to reach the ‘Basic’ level of the ‘Policy and Strategy’ section. While resources exist [3] to assist organizations in developing their first digital preservation policy, these formative strategic documents are intended to hold relevance beyond their initial publication. This panel session highlighted challenges and opportunities in the development and ongoing maintenance of digital preservation policies across three organizations: U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, National Library of Ireland, and National Library of New Zealand. Panelists reflected on learnings from different stages of the policy lifecycle, including initial development, initiating revisions, and re-engaging with dormant policy documents. These efforts are contextualized within broader policy education resources, including the DPC’s revised Digital Preservation Policy Toolkit [4].

abstract:
The world today is faced with an insurmountable problem. There is too much digital “stuff” in existence for us to even handle in any sort of meaningful way, let alone curate and preserve. We have reached (or perhaps even gone beyond) the data processing tipping point. There is an enormous amount of data already in existence and unimaginably more being generated every day. This panel proposal (and accompanying poster) is intended to explore this doomsday data scenario with a group of experts in the field of Digital Preservation and related disciplines with a view to deciding if it is true and what can be done about it.

abstract:
This panel will explore provenance: as theory and practice; as a tool for sustainability; and as a space of shared struggle and challenge for digital preservations and those in fields ranging from archives to cluster computing. In digital preservation, provenance tells us where an object has come from, the myriad preservation actions we could take to care for it, and where we predict the object will need to go in future. This panel is intended for anyone who is interested in the world of provenance: defining it, understanding it, modeling it, addressing the vague dissatisfaction practitioners often have when researching and documenting it. Provenance is more about the journey than the destination: this panel aims to surface a variety of experiences with provenance and to facilitate discussion and a community of practice around the relationship between digital preservation and provenance.

abstract:
The digital preservation community has been developing approaches to preserving the meaning of digital content for a number of decades. But questions still remain as to the most accurate, practical, timely and cost effective way of keeping our data usable. Collating and presenting file format policies from several organizations triggered a lively panel discussion in early 2023. This panel session will build on the success and popularity of that debate by bringing in new voices and topics raised by the audience. This subject is a critical one to understand if we are to be successful in preserving our data for future generations.

abstract:
Emails are an essential medium of communication. Their management is an organizational, security, legal and financial issue for all organizations.
The interdepartmental digital archiving Vitam program, which develops a digital archives management system on behalf of the French government, could not help but wonder about the acquisition, preservation and access to the documents and data contained in email archives. In 2013, it carried out a proof of concept on email archiving, at a time when few archive services in France had embarked on the acquisition of this type of document.
Ten years later, the French landscape in terms of digital recordkeeping has changed significantly. In practice, some archives have put in place strategies for archiving email and tools have been made available to assist in their effort.
This article looks at the transition from theory to practice of a more operational acquisition of this type of archive in a French context.

DIGITAL RECORDS CURATION AT THE EAST AND SOUTHERN AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES (IRS)

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/digital-records-curation-at-the-east-and-southern-african-univer/

abstract:
Most of the knowledge generated in academic institutions today is in digital form. Given that institutional repositories (IRs) across universities receive, preserve and make access to digital assets. The aim of this study is to assess the status of digital curation at Institutional repositories in selected Universities in Botswana and Kenya. The study takes a quantitative approach whereby data was collected through survey questionnaires administered amongst university IR staff in Botswana and Kenya. The data collected was analysed and presented with tables and figures. The Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Functional Model was used in this study as a lens to investigate the problem. The findings of the study show that public universities in Botswana and Kenya have established IRs that ingest digital records into their custody. Most resources ingested include thesis and publications by academic staff and students. These IRs store their digital records on local servers and other storages like CDs. This study found that the majority of the IRs both in Botswana and Kenya do not have digital records preservation plans. This study recommends the use of the OAIS model to preserve, manage and make access to digital records at East and Southern African public Universities Institutional Repositories.

abstract:
This paper reports on the results from a qualitative study that asks whether and how staff members from TRAC certified repositories find value in the audit and certification process. While some interviewees found certification valuable, others argued that the costs outweighed the benefits or expressed ambivalence towards certification. Findings indicate that TRAC certification offered both internal and external benefits, such as improved documentation, accountability, transparency, communication, and standards, but there were concerns about high costs, implementation problems, and lack of objective evaluation criteria.

abstract:
Many preservation actions that we undertake on digital content are driven by the format of the content in question. Format information is often determined at the point of ingest and is not regularly updated as our knowledge of file formats improves over time. Periodically re-characterizing all content in a repository would ensure that we get more accurate identifications over time, but a more sustainable approach would be to only re-characterize content that was actually likely to have changed. Preservica’s new Automated Active Digital Preservation feature seeks to do exactly this, but even when considering only subsets of the data in our cloud systems, we are faced with significant challenges of scale. In this paper, we describe those challenges, the approach we have taken to implement the feature, and the testing we have performed to verify the viability of this approach.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CAMPAIGN FOR: How formal organization practice may negatively impact adaptability aspects of preservation

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/be-careful-what-you-campaign-for-how-formal-organization-practic/

abstract:
Digital preservationists often struggle using their expert knowledge to create change within their own organization. Because of this, they might need to resort to campaigning for decision-making authority. Why is this? Memory institutions are used to adhering to standards and rules. Rules and regulations are beneficial for stability and trustworthiness. But too much focus on rules may create organizational rigidity which negatively impacts adaptability. Adaptability is a major goal for preservation so how could we create more room for this? An important part of adaptability is organizational learning. In order to facilitate learning we must understand which aspects of organizational practice negatively affect it. For example, avoiding discussion of mistakes is an important barrier to learning. If an organization prioritizes learning this can have a positive impact on the motivation of employees. Practitioners may feel more in control when they understand how to use theories of organizational learning to further implementation of preservation principles. More room for learning within the organization might also benefit the field of preservation itself through enhanced knowledge of what works and what doesn't.

abstract:
Records created in organizations that have archival value should be preserved for a long time, and to achieve this, digital preservation techniques are used. These techniques also contribute to the preservation of the trustworthiness of the records. In order to assess the situation of organizations in the implementation of their digital preservation activities, there is a need for an analysis tool. Many models have been prepared to meet this need. One is the Levels of Preservation (LoP) developed by the National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA). The LoP provides guidance to organizations in their digital preservation activities. Therefore, it is thought that the LoP can be associated with trustworthiness which aims at long-term preservation of the records. This study examines the levels of digital preservation specified in the LoP in terms of the trustworthiness of digital records. As a result of this research, the goal is to provide the basis for a methodology for organizations wishing to assess their level of digital preservation and to align their digital preservation capabilities with trustworthiness. This study used document analysis as a qualitative research design. Both field observations and research show that organizations are not sufficiently aware of the level of digital preservation and trustworthiness. Then, the question of the study is “how the levels that are specified in the LoP can be associated with the trustworthiness”. As a result of the study, it has been observed that the levels of digital preservation specified in the LoP can be used in the analysis of the trustworthiness of the records. It is expected that this study will raise awareness in the organizations to do a better job of preserving the records that have archival value.

abstract:
We proposed a decentralized version tracking system using the existing primitives of IPFS and IPNS. While our description talks primarily about archived web pages, we proposed the concept of IPMT and namespacing so that it can be used in other applications that require versioning, such as a wiki or a collaborative code tracking system. Our proposed system does not rely on any centralized server for archiving or replay of the content. The system continues to allow aggregators to play their role from which both large and small archives can benefit and flourish.

abstract:
Since 2008, the End of Term Web Archive has been gathering snapshots of the federal web, consisting of the publicly accessible .gov and .mil websites. In 2022, the End of Term team began to package these crawls into a public dataset which they released as part of the Amazon Open Data Partnership program. In total, over 460TB of WARC data was moved from local repositories at the Internet Archive and the University of North Texas Libraries. From the original WARC content, derivative datasets were created that address common use cases for web archives. These derivatives include WAT, WET, CDX and a format called a WARC Metadata Sidecar. This WARC Metadata Sidecar includes content-based characterizations of ﬁles held in the archive, including character set, language, ﬁle format identiﬁer, and soft 404 detection. This paper describes the decisions made in the creation of these derivatives, the technologies used, and introduces the WARC Metadata Sidecar, which presents a useful approach for creating and storing auxiliary metadata for web archives.

NOT WELL-FORMED OR INVALID. NOW WHAT?: Towards a formalized workflow for format validation error treatment

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/not-well-formed-or-invalid-now-what-towards-a-formalized-workflo/

abstract:
File format validation – we all use it and we all run into problems when files do not validate. Though a core process within digital preservation practice, little progress has been made in shared documentation and discussion of processes used to treat file format validation errors. This paper aims to close that gap. A basic workflow for handling validation errors is proposed and visualized, and in a second step tested against two TIFF and two PDF validation errors of varying severity. Observations made are fed back into the workflow diagram. The outcome shall provide a first step towards shared digital preservation practice in the currently largely neglected field of method formalization for file format validation error treatment.

abstract:
Software is a very complex product, offering an endless number of different states and appearances. To foster academic discussion about software-based cultural and scientific phenomena like computer games, digital art, or scientific computational models, it is necessary to be able to reference specific moments of running software. In this article, we discuss the possibilities to “freeze” software while being executed and describe constraints for the long-term preservation of these snapshots.

abstract:
In support of a multi-year initiative to revitalize its core digital preservation infrastructure, the Harvard Library is engaged in an open-ended exploration of an ideal system solution.  The individual components of that ideal cohere into abstract functional and informational reference models, which act as aspirational  benchmarks for requirements and subsequent procurement and deployment activities.  The models are  derived through the logical refinement of a small set of high-level axiomatic principles.  These reflect a conceptualization of digital preservation as an inherently communicative enterprise with an ultimate goal of complementing the persistence of authentic digital information objects with that of opportunities for legitimate information experiences.

abstract:
In 2020, Adobe announced that they would end support for Adobe Flash Player. Initially, we (the preservation team at the National Archives of the Netherlands) assumed we had only a few or no Flash objects in our digital repository, but this assumption turned out to be incorrect. The discovery of Flash objects in our holding led to the start of a research project to answer several questions. Through a series of dedicated meetings, we formulated a strategy focused on preserving ongoing accessibility to our Flash objects through emulation. We were curious to find out if we had Flash objects, where they were located, and which solution would help us render these objects. This was done with the use of the three preservation functions (Watch, Action, and Planning).  After locating the Flash objects, we were able to test potential solutions. The results were then applied to our situation at the National Archives. This led to the development of conclusions and several pieces of advice accompanying those.

abstract:
Digital preservation significance is widely recognized and imperative for all institutions. It is a pressing concern for archival specialists who acknowledge its relevance and necessity in contemporary information management practices.
The current paper aims to examine the present state of digital preservation and Accessibility of institutional archives in Oman and to ascertain the challenges and prospects in this domain. This research is conducted through a comprehensive analysis of the extant literature and semi-structured interviews with administrative personnel employed in both public and private institutions in Oman. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten professionals in governmental organizations, who were chosen based on their expertise and experience in the field, using purposive sampling.
The findings showed that interviewees in Omani institutions value digital preservation for many reasons, such as compliance with Omani law on archives, improved organization and security, and ease of document access. However, all institutions have no unified application strategy for digital preservation. The findings revealed many challenges, including technological obsolescence, security risks, big data management, and human resource challenges.

Over the last three years, The National Archives (UK) and the Digital Preservation Coalition have collaborated on the development of a growing body of training content under the banner of the “Novice to Know-How” learning pathway. The content has proved to be incredibly popular, opening the door to digital preservation training for individuals and organizations that previously had not been able or willing to engage with the topic. This paper will examine the projects motivations, outputs, impact, and future plans.

abstract:
We introduce a technique for ﬁnding multilingual translations for lists of words using technologies of the Semantic Web. We present four subsets of data from Wikidata and Wikipedia as sources of multilingual labels. Our sample dataset consists of seven terms related to digital preservation. We compare the number of labels we can source for these terms from other human languages via SPARQL queries using the Wikidata Query Service. After discussing the composition of each subset, we detail their advantages and disadvantages. Providing multilingual la- bels as additional access points for resources such as on- tologies, vocabularies and user interfaces for applications increases the relevance of these resources to a larger per- centage of the global population. Increasing multilingual access promotes inclusion for a broader range of people, which leads to greater diversity in the digital preservation community.

abstract:
Journalistic content is a crucial part of history, yet its longevity always remains uncertain without proper curation and preservation. This is true in particular when it comes to journalistic content under authoritarian regime contexts, where freedom of the press and information freedom are usually in vain. The article explores the case of collection.news, a community initiative that crawled, disseminated and hosted the journalistic content of Apple Daily, a pro-democracy media outlet that was forcibly shut down by the authority in Hong Kong. By discussing the key events and tools used by collection.news initiative, the three distinctive features of it, namely exigency, decentralization, and anonymity, are highlighted. Finally, suggestions to the digital preservation field for supporting these community initiatives in authoritarian regimes will be given.

abstract:
Environmental sustainability is becoming an important factor in digital preservation. We have calculated the carbon footprint of our Finnish national digital preservation services, which we provide for cultural heritage and research sectors. We concentrate on the carbon footprint of manufacturing hardware and shipping the equipment to data centers, and the carbon footprint of the hardware service life and employees related to the services. Using data provided to us by the hardware manufacturers and other sources, we show that the majority of the emissions come from manufacturing and shipping of hardware, whereas the emissions created during the service life has a smaller role. As a whole, the annual carbon footprint of the services is smaller than the annual carbon footprint of three average Finns.

abstract:
Radio Elyssa's sound archives face challenges in the post-revolution Tunisian context: preserving a large volume of digital content with limited resources while preserving Tunisia's cultural heritage. The Digital Cooperation Association Tunisia and Radio Elyssa are collaborating to test the potential of Artificial Intelligence tools to automate archival tasks.  Before any automation, it is necessary to understand the regulatory procedures for digital archiving: identifying, classifying, migrating, and storing data according to best practices.
Long-term preservation faces challenges due to limited resources and increasing digitization. The combination of human expertise and AI will enable Radio Elyssa to use AI responsibly to fulfill its mission.

abstract:
While New York University Libraries has a long history of and commitment to digital collecting and preservation efforts, the institution did not have any policies governing the services and activities of digital preservation prior to 2022. This paper details the creation of a holistic digital preservation policy statement, with contributors from across ten functional units at NYU Libraries. The policy was grounded in the Libraries’ mission and values–including  deep commitments to inclusion, diversity, belonging, equity, and accessibility–and drew on themes crafted by all members of the group to ensure their work was represented in the statement. The success of the policy group was rooted in its intentional formation and processes that acknowledged the distributed nature of digital preservation and emphasized the creation of a community of practice. Further, it laid the foundation for a more complete suite of preservation policies and forward-looking conversations about how to enact ethical and sustainable stewardship in digital collecting, access, and preservation practices.

abstract:
The NFT (Non-fungible token) market is experiencing explosive growth. While artists, collectors, and crypto enthusiasts are jumping into this ecosystem, traditional collectors have found it more challenging to evaluate asset value in this NFT market than in the established collectible market. This paper navigates the reason for this problem by examining the design of NFT using ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards, then illustrates that NFT’s infrastructure makes its evaluation more challenging based on its unstable or lacking connection to the underlying digital assets, which makes the evaluation of NFT inconsistent. This paper will propose a revised business model with a workflow to add digital preservation to the NFT trading ecosystem.  The paper suggests adding digital preservation clients to the Ethereum blockchain and building communication with the back-end digital preservation system to guarantee the stability of NFT’s digital assets. In the end, this paper will discuss the benefits of the new business model and workflow, with potential future challenges and opportunities to the revised NFT market.

abstract:
Directed by an Inuit-led and serving tribal organization, Aqqaluk Trust, in the frontline hub-community of Kotzebue, Alaska, the Rematriation Project: Restoring and Sharing Inuit Knowledges aims to create capacity for and access to digital archives related to Inuit cultural, tribal, and scientific knowledges and history to assist tribes and communities in developing localized, culturally appropriate approaches and solutions to their needs. In partnership with a team of scholars from Virginia Tech (itself led by an Iñupiaq scholar from Kotzebue)—the goal of this project is to empower Indigenous communities through the lens of Indigenous data and research sovereignty to collect, control, interpret, and benefit from data that originates from their communities. The Rematriation Project operates on a foundation of community-first, community-led decision making that emphasizes Indigenous Data Sovereignty practices. This paper outlines the goals and initiatives of the first phases of the project.

abstract:
This paper will discuss the recent work of the abrdn archive to create and put in place a fully open-source workflow, the barriers faced, and what was learnt from the experience. abrdn plc, an Edinburgh based investment company, is the first financial institution to implement a fully open-source digital preservation workflow. The following text provides an analysis of the work undertaken by the archive thus far, and argues that the least important aspect of implementing an open-source workflow is the software. Our journey has definitely been a long and winding road with many wrong turns, misleading directions, and occasional problems with running out of fuel, but the outcome has been positive and archive colleagues are keen to find out where the road will lead them next.

EAASI PRESERVATION OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS: Progress with the long-term preservation of access to mobile applications using the EaaSI platform

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/eaasi-preservation-of-mobile-applications-progress-with-the-long/

abstract:
Mobile devices have revolutionized computing and democratized access to it. The applications we use on our mobile devices play a critical role in shaping our online experiences, our culture, our politics, and our access to information. Mobile applications are also widely used for data gathering and asset management in many domains from scientific research to infrastructure maintenance. With such a wide-reaching impact it is critical that the preservation community is able to maintain access to mobile applications for future generations. In this short paper we outline progress in using the Emulation as a Service Infrastructure (EaaSI) platform to run obsolete versions of the Android operating system in virtualization and emulation in order to maintain access to mobile applications. We also detail the current limitations of virtualizing and emulating mobile devices and provide a list of future challenges to address as we move forwards with ensuring long-term access to this essential part of our history.

abstract:
It is not unusual to find at-risk obsolete carriers in archival collections, but these 3½ inch ADFS-formatted floppy disks hold original digital artworks from the late career of a pioneering Australian multimedia artist. The graphics files, created on an Acorn Archimedes in the late 80s and early 90s, had not been seen for more than 25 years, and the difficult process of preserving and providing access to these artworks, and their associated software, highlights the fragility of the material from this era. The case study presented here discusses how the State Library of South Australia combined open-source and community software to automate the extraction and migration of obsolete content from these disks while capturing filesystem and other metadata—and discovered that emulation is not always the simplest solution.

How will this shift impact the longevity of student scholarship and institutional memory? This paper will present an ongoing project that aims to archive web-based student publications at Concordia University. We will discuss the rationale behind the project, our initial objectives and scope, and the challenges that we have encountered so far. We will conclude with a discussion of future opportunities for outreach and other envisioned pathways for collaboration.

(HOW) IT WORKS!: A manifesto .. towards establishing a functional software collection at the Vienna museum of science and technology

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/how-it-works-a-manifesto-towards-establishing-a-functional-softw/

abstract:
This paper presents the decision making process involved in establishing a software collection at the Vienna Museum of Science and Technology. The museum's collecting activities have been limited to the collection of tangible heritage. The current collection strategy defines the functionality of a museum object solely as its own material manifestation. That is why the museum keeps its physical collection in a “powered-off” state to preserve its integrity and functionality for the future. 
To integrate a functional software collection into this theoretical frame we are discussing applied terminology and have developed a manifesto to build on a solid theoretical foundation.

abstract:
At a basic level, virtualization [1] is the use of a host computer or server’s resources to run other computing environments. There are many ways in which virtualized computing environments may be deployed and interacted with, including using software to virtualize additional desktops on a local computer (e.g., VirtualBox, Hyper-V Manager, or VMWare) or accessing virtual command line interfaces hosted by a server or computer cluster [2],[3], and emulating old video game systems on contemporary hardware [4]. In this paper we discuss a cross-institutional collaboration on using containerization and desktop virtualization in digital curation at academic special collections libraries.

abstract:
The Dutch Digital Heritage Network (DDHN) wants to improve the monitoring of file format obsolescence. The Preservation Watch group researched on how institutions can monitor the life cycle of file formats in their repositories and how the monitoring could be implemented on a broader scale. Monitoring file format life cycle implies there needs to be a way to measure format obsolescence or helps an institution to identify when a file format is getting obsolete. The applied research identified the needed information and used a known model to search for trends and is applied in widespread areas. The model was compared with a naive method to evaluate the more complex method. This approach was tested in different types of repositories and used different file formats to research the robustness of the approach. This paper will investigate the possibilities and shortcomings of this method and further research that is required.

abstract:
The Community Archive Scheme is a bottom-up method of community engagement that the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) uses to work directly with no or low-income groups with digital material to preserve. The DRI's usual depositors are academic, cultural heritage, or public organisations and libraries with a long history of archiving who select material from their own collections for preservation. Through the Community Archive Scheme, we work in a hands-on way to provide digital preservation to a wider range of groups that fall outside of this sphere. The scheme celebrates its fifth anniversary in 2023 and during this period DRI has worked with nine voluntary groups to help preserve material on a variety of topics including the experience of asylum seekers in Ireland, maternal health, built heritage, LGBT rights and activism in Ireland. The types of material that we are working to preserve through this scheme vary from photographs of artists' works such as quilts, audio-visual material such as community documentaries, and documentaries produced for digital radio and social media. This paper will discuss how the scheme evolved, how these organisations have strengthened DRI as an organisation as well as making our community and collections more equitable and diverse, challenges we have encountered, some of the solutions we have developed, where our successes have come from and some of the future developments we are exploring so that we can continue to work with these groups.

abstract:
In times of disruption we need to do the less interesting parts of our job better than ever. Documentation falls into this category - a sometimes neglected task that is often sidelined in favor of new and exciting innovations or even just the constant pressure of other routine tasks. It is easy to forget to create documentation or to let existing documents stagnate and become out-of-date. And yet, in the event of a disaster, it may be the very first thing we will turn to, to help to bring order to the chaos. When faced with lockdown as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020, there is some evidence that digital preservation practitioners turned to maintenance tasks like documentation when working from home [1]. Digital preservation documentation is undoubtedly important to us in the digital preservation community but where is the good practice guidance that tells us what to document, when, where and how? This paper describes work at the Digital Preservation Coalition to gather together community experiences to create a new good practice guide on digital preservation documentation.

RESCUING LEGACY DIGITAL COLLECTIONS: Lessons Learned from Migrating Historical Bespoke Digital Collections

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/rescuing-legacy-digital-collections-lessons-learned-from-migrati/

abstract:
The University of Sydney Library hosts many historically significant digital collections. In 2021 and 2022, the Library undertook a project to ensure the accessibility of these collections, migrating them from ageing web servers to our current repository systems. This paper outlines the challenges involved in managing bespoke legacy collections at an institution in the early stages of building digital preservation capacity. We discuss the approaches taken to make use of existing systems, capabilities, and resourcing to rescue collections and prepare for future preservation actions.

abstract:
Building sustainable quality assurance practices is a challenge for today's preservationists, who want to be sure that content preserved in web archives is not only the correct content, but in working order. This often means that archived web content should be replayed via Wayback rendering software in good fidelity when compared to the original website. The exponentially growing scale of web archives necessitates a multipronged approach to identify what is (and is not) being preserved, and where improvements can be made. This paper will explore actions that can take place iteratively throughout the web archiving life cycle, as part of a larger system of review where multiple individuals can contribute, including non-technical Library staff and subject matter experts. The processes described are part of a novel workflow in the Library of Congress Web Archiving Program.

abstract:
DNA-based data storage (DDS) holds promise to deliver a paradigm shift for long-term, secure storage of data. To tap into this potential, methods must be developed to produce data-encoding DNA molecules with cost- and time-effective processes.  Combinatorial synthesis of DNA molecules from prefabricated fragments of DNA offers a solution to this challenge.  We are developing a DNA-based platform combining encoding algorithms, high-throughput synthesis, post-synthesis processing, sequencing, decoding algorithms, and DNA computing architectures into a unified system.  DNA datasets encoding images and literary works have been successfully created and translated back into conventional data files containing the entire original set of data or a targeted subset of data.  In this work, we demonstrate the ability to search for specific molecules encoding a specific word in a DNA dataset encoding the complete text of multiple literary works.

abstract:
Email is one of the most ubiquitous forms of communication in both personal and professional contexts. The EA-PDF (Email Archiving with PDF) project is developing a PDF specification (PDF/mail) for email archiving, as well as an open-source tool to convert emails to the new PDF format. By creating a new specification defining common understandings for archiving email, the project aims for PDF/mail to lower barriers to effective email preservation that meets the needs of the archive and digital preservation community.  This includes building a community to support the project, developing the PDF specification itself, and creating a proof-of-concept tool to convert emails to PDF. With an open-source tool available for converting emails, archivists and other professionals—particularly those working in context where they do not have access to technologies supporting email preservation--will have a straightforward and cost-effective way of preserving emails for posterity, complementing other preservation methods and tools.

abstract:
Significant properties (sigProps) research often focuses on the preservation targets. Yet research consistently shows that what is significant about an object is not necessarily inherent to objects. Simultaneously, sigProps research does not adequately attend to temporality. Time is built into the concept of sigProps: they are about what ideally should not change over time. This paper centers temporality in relation to sigProps to explore challenging case studies.

https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2023/papers/key-elements-of-a-file-format-strategy-the-only-bad-file-format/

abstract:
Within the Digital Preservation Community there are many references to policies on file formats, acceptable file formats, preservation policies and strategies, risk matrices, and action plans. All have the intention of defining and describing file formats and guiding decisions on which formats to preserve how, and when. My team and I originally created a File Format Action Plan, which was later migrated from OneNote to Confluence and then included more strategic plans for hundreds of file formats. This paper explores which key elements should be included in an effective file format strategy and the different ways such data can be used by people and systems. What works for one institution may not work for another, and the work created by a larger institution may benefit those with smaller resources.

abstract:
The world of digital preservation and archiving has drawn heavily on the thinking of our analogue predecessors. When it comes to selecting materials, we are familiar with the idea of appraisal: “the process of determining whether records and other materials have permanent (archival) value” [1]. Typically, the notion of “value” is then further refined into broad sub-genres, such as evidential, informational, intrinsic, contextual, and so forth [2]. At iPres 2022, a panel session and related poster examined the problem of “The Value of Catastrophic Data Loss” but the debate repeatedly returned to measuring this value purely in terms of economic costs. This paper unpicks the notion of value further, and offers some reflections on how these ideas might apply to digital materials and be predicated on the essential differences between analog and digital sources.

abstract:
Long-term preservation of born-digital moving image content is similar to that of any other file-based content in many ways. However, large file sizes, specialized equipment and resources, significant processing storage needs, and the movement of large files are challenges to creating sustainable and scalable workflows. The Moving Image Section of the National Audio Visual Conservation Center at the Library of Congress is making great strides in the development of sustainable and scalable workflows through an understanding of the technical infrastructure, moving image file characteristics and requirements, and the adoption of automated workflows using a combination of open source software and hardware resources.

The TIPR Project (Towards Interoperable Preservation Repositories) runs from October 2008 through September 2010. The aim of the project is to develop, test, and promote a standard format for exchanging information packages among OAIS-based repositories. This paper reviews the use cases for the transfer of information from one repository to another, reviews the Repository eXchange Format (RXP) developed by TIPR, and discusses the need for additional information not contained in the exchange package itself. It looks at two existing specifications, the Producer-Archive Interface Methodology and Into the Archive (Wege ins Archiv), in the context of inter-repository transfer. Finally it outlines information required in an inter-repository service agreement.

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has been preparing for this inevitable revolution for several years now, developing partnerships and carrying out research on image and sound processing, innovative transfer techniques, accessibility and distribution to facilitate the transition to digital technology. In recent years, the technical and operational infrastructure has undergone significant upheavals. And the NFB has taken up the gauntlet. The new digital reality is much more sophisticated than past technologies, but also much more open and promising. Our aim is to exploit the full potential of these new and constantly evolving technologies.

abstract:
Never have so many people documented so much about
their lives. Digital technology has empowered
individuals to build large, rich collections of
photographs, videos, e-mail, documents and other
information. But the ability to create digital content is
far outstripping personal capacity to manage and keep it
over time. Looking ahead over the next decade, it is
possible to foresee two consequences for libraries and
archives. The most obvious and certain is that digital
accessions of personal materials will supplement, and
eventually surpass, traditional analog materials. Another
outcome is more subtle and speculative: people seeking
trusted guidance about how best to manage their
important digital items. Memory organizations are
reasonable places for people to go in search of such
guidance, and this presents an opportunity to provide a
valuable—and highly visible—public service. The
Library of Congress National Digital Information
Infrastructure and Preservation Program is undertaking a
project to provide guidance aimed at the general public
in connection with personal digital archiving. The
project focuses on interacting with people through
several different channels, including web-based written
instructions, video productions, and social media. The
Library is also exploring use of public events such as
“Personal Archiving Day” to engage directly with
people. In developing a strategy for this program, the
Library has to balance professional practice with the
need to clearly communicate with non-specialists in a
Web 2.0 environment.

abstract:
The “paperless office” concept has been around for
decades, and many have cited that the electronic office
has instead increased the amount of paper produced.
Case studies have shown that a successful “paperless”
system requires motivation, ease of use, and cost savings
[5]. Paper will co-exist with electronic records for the
foreseeable future; however, what happens when the
official record of an institution becomes “paperless”?
This short paper presents a case study describing the
efforts in the University of Oregon Office of the
President to move to a fully electronic records system,
the trickle-down effect to campus units, and the work of
the Libraries to preserve the institutional record. The
Libraries created a model to solve the immediate needs
of the Office of the President addressing issues of
workflow and preservation before an ideal system and
staffing could be realized. A hands-on approach was
employed, focusing on day-to-day work and ease of use
for office contacts, and standards and migration plans for
archival files using PLATTER [1]. By doing this, a
foundation was created for an electronic records system
that can be adapted across campus for administrative
offices, faculty scholarship, cultural museums, science
labs, and student coursework.

abstract:
Institutions that perform web crawls in order to gather
heritage collections have millions – or even billions – of
files encoded in thousands of different formats about
which they barely know anything. Many of these
heritage institutions are members of the International
Internet Preservation Consortium, whose Preservation
Working Group decided to address the issues related to
format identification in web archive.
Its first goal is to design an overview of the formats to
be found in different types of collections (large-, smallscale…)
over time. It shows that the web seems to be
becoming a more standardized space. A small number
of formats – frequently open – cover from 90 to 95% of
web archive collections, and we can reasonably hope to
find preservation strategies for them.
However, this survey is mainly built on a source – the
MIME type of the file sent in the server response – that
gives good statistical trends but is not fully reliable for
every file. This is the reason why it appears necessary to
study how to use, for web archives, identification tools
developed for other kinds of digital assets.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUST IN DISTRIBUTED  DIGITAL PRESERVATION: A CASE STUDY FROM THE  METAARCHIVE COOPERATIVE

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2010/papers/the-importance-of-trust-in-distributed-digital-preservation-a-ca/

abstract:
Distributed digital preservation is a maturing and
appealing solution to the pressing problem of ensuring
the survivability of digital content. Like all other digital
preservation efforts, distributed digital preservation
solutions must communicate trust to their Designated
Communities as they continue to mature. The following
paper discusses the importance of establishing this trust,
retraces the development of TRAC as a reliable tool for
evaluating trustworthy repositories, and details the
process of the MetaArchive Cooperative’s application of
TRAC to its distributed digital preservation solution.
This process revealed that the current metrics for
gauging trust in digital preservation could be readily
applied to distributed solutions with great effect.
However, because these metrics often presume a more
centralized approach to preservation, the process also
revealed the need to apply them carefully and with great
thought. To underscore this need, three organizational
and technical comparisons are made between the
MetaArchive’s distributed preservation activities and
the more centralized model assumed by TRAC and the
OAIS Reference Model. The paper concludes with the
question as to whether distributed digital preservation
needs to be better defined within existing models such
as OAIS or through the creation of a new reference
model for distributed digital preservation.

abstract:
Predicting the costs of long-term digital preservation is a
crucial yet complex task for even the largest repositories
and institutions. For smaller projects and individual
researchers faced with preservation requirements, the
problem is even more overwhelming, as they lack the
accumulated experience of the former. Yet being able to
estimate future preservation costs is vital to answering a
range of important questions for each. The LIFE (Life
Cycle Information for E-Literature) project, which has
just completed its third phase, helps institutions and
researchers address these concerns, reducing the
financial and preservation risks, and allowing decision
makers to assess a range of options in order to achieve
effective preservation while operating within financial
restraints. The project is a collaboration between
University College London (UCL), The British Library
and the Humanities Advanced Technology and
Information Institute (HATII) at the University of
Glasgow. Funding has been supplied in the UK by the
Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and the
Research Information Network (RIN).

abstract:
This article describes the development of Archives
Ready To Archival Information Packages (AIP)
Transmission a PREMIS Based Project (ARTAT).
Following the project approach, the starting phase
consisted of prototyping a layer conveying preservation
metadata, which can be encoded from the existing
archival systems, and exchanged with other repositories.
This layer called Preservation Metadata Layer (PML)
uses PREMIS semantics as the common language to
overcome archival systems differences, and to transmit
out of its original context, relevant preservation
information about content objects comprising an AIP.
Since a repository, following the OAIS reference model,
usually provides resources with metadata container
objects, the experiment performed an analysis on
commonly used container formats, in order to enable the
traceability of semantics from a local to extra-local
level, and the technological understandability of alien
AIPs. The analysis has allowed the definition of a PML
data model, laying the production of prototypes. The
adoption of common semantics, like PREMIS, supports
the opportunity of preserving correctly alien AIPs,
coming from different technological environments, and
hopefully enables the overcoming of obstacles to the
interoperability among diverse archival systems.

abstract:
This article explores preservation of digital material in a
library context with a focus on logical object modelling
that takes both preservation and dissemination into
account. The article describes normalisation of data
expressed via a logical object model. This logical object
model is designed to support the requirements for joint
preservation and dissemination. Additionally the article
includes a suggestion for a possible implementation that
respects the logical object model.
Formulation, of the requirements and possible
implementation for a logical object model, is based on
observation of current trends, as well as results from a
research project on preservation strategies for libraries.
The research project has been carried out at the Royal
Library of Denmark, and it is based on a case study of a
10 year old web application containing the Archive of
Danish Literature. The formulated requirements include
e.g. requirements for many-to-many migration in
preservation and requirements for homogenous
navigation and social networking in dissemination.
Many of the described observations and results have
parallels to other types of material. These parallels are
partly described, and thus the results can be used as a
contribution to development of systems and strategies
for preservation and dissemination in the new decade
and beyond.

abstract:
The British Library’s web archive comprises several
terabyte of harvested websites. Like other content streams
this data should be ingested into the library’s central
preservation repository. The repository requires a
standardized Submission- and Archival Information
Package.
Harvested Websites are stored in Archival Information
Packages (AIP). Each AIP is described by a METS file.
Operational metadata for resource discovery as well as
archival metadata are normalized and embedded in the
METS descriptor using common metadata profiles such as
PREMIS and MODS.
The British Library’s METS profile for web archiving
considers dissemination and preservation use cases
ensuring the authenticity of data. The underlying complex
content model disaggregates websites into web pages,
associated objects and their actual digital manifestations.
The additional abstract layer ensures accessibility over the
long term and the ability to carry out preservation actions
such as migrations. The library wide preservation policies
and principles become applicable to web content as well.

ARCHIVEMATICA: USING MICRO-SERVICES AND  OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE TO DELIVER A  COMPREHENSIVE DIGITAL CURATION SOLUTION

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2010/papers/archivematica-using-micro-services-and-open-source-software-to-d/

abstract:
Digital curation micro-services offer a light-weight
alternative to preservation systems that are developed
on digital repository and framework technology stacks.
These are often too complex for small and medium-sized
memory institutions to deploy and maintain. The
Archivematica project has implemented a micro-services
approach to develop an integrated suite of free and
open-source tools that allows users to process digital
objects from ingest to access while applying format
specific preservation policies. Inspired by a call to
action in a recent UNESCO Memory of the World
report, the goal of the Archivematica project is to reduce
the cost and technical complexity of deploying a
comprehensive, interoperable digital curation solution
that is compliant with standards and best practices.

abstract:
This article describes a methodology which supports evaluation of bit preservation strategies for different digital materials. This includes evaluation of alternative bit preservation solutions. The methodology presented uses the preservation planning tool Plato for evaluations, and a BR-ReMS prototype to calculate measures for how well bit preservation requirements are met. Planning storage of different types of data as part of preservation planning involves classification of the data with regard to requirements on confidentiality, bit safety, availability and costs. Selection of storage parameters is quite complex since e.g. more copies of data means better bit safety, but higher cost and higher risk of compromising confidentiality. Based on a case study of a bit repository offering differentiated bit preservation solutions, the article will present results of using the methodology to make plans and choices of alternatives for different digital material with different requirements for bit integrity and confidentiality. This study shows that the methodology, including the tools used, is suitable for this purpose.

abstract:
The Planets Testbed, a key outcome of the EC co-funded
Planets project, is a web based application that provides
a controlled environment where users can perform experiments
on a variety of preservation tools using sample data
and a standardised yet configurable experiment methodology.
Development of the Testbed required the close
participation of many geographically and strategically disparate
organisations throughout the four-year duration of
the project, and this paper aims to reflect on a number
of key lessons that were learned whilst developing software
for digital preservation experimentation. In addition
to giving an overview of the Testbed and its evolution,
this paper describes the iterative development process that
was adopted, presents a set of key challenges faced when
developing preservation software in a distributed manner,
and offers a real-world example of how lessons can be
learned from these challenges.

abstract:
Apart from being a technological issue, digital
preservation raises several organizational challenges.
These challenges are starting to be addressed in the
industrial design and e-Science domains, where
emerging requirements cannot be addressed directly by
OAIS. Thus, new approaches to design and assess
digital preservation environments are required. We
propose a Reference Architecture as a tool that can
capture the essence of those emerging preservation
environments and provide ways of developing and
deploying preservation-enabled systems in
organizations. This paper presents the main concepts
from which a Reference Architecture for digital
preservation can be built, along with an analysis of the
environment surrounding a digital preservation system.
We present a concrete Reference Architecture,
consisting of a process to derive concrete digital
preservation architectures, which is supported by an
architecture framework for organizing architecture
descriptions. In that way, organizations can be better
prepared to cope with the present and future challenges
of digital preservation.

abstract:
Twitter is widely used in a range of different contexts, ranging from informal social communications and marketing purposes through to supporting various professional activities in teaching and learning and research. The growth in Twitter use has led to a recognition of the need to ensure that Twitter posts ('tweets') can be accessed and reused by a variety of third party applications.
This paper describes development work to the Twapper Keeper Twitter archiving service to support use of Twitter in education and research. The reasons for funding developments to an existing commercial service are described and the approaches for addressing the sustainability of such developments are provided. The paper reviews the challenges this work has addressed including the technical challenges in processing large volumes of traffic and the policy issues related, in particular, to ownership and copyright.
The paper concludes by describing the experiences gained in using the service to archive tweets posted during the WWW 2010 conference and summarising plans for further use of the service.

abstract:
Being a private international enterprise, the ongoing transition from paper to digitally stored documents and records has created some new challenges.
By implementing an Electronic Records Management (ERM) system, the tool for conducting records management is in place, but in order to utilise the possibilities, a revision of the retention and disposition schedule was necessary.
The task of developing a new schedule is time-consuming, but it will be an important tool for future RM work. It gives a good overview of the content of the archives. When implemented it will reduce growth, improve sharing of information and ensure compliance over time. It is also a vital tool for long term planning, in knowing what to keep and for how long, strategies can be developed based on timeframe, cost, need for access and volume. It can also be used in discussions towards historical institutions for the transferee of some or all historic records.
This paper describes the tasks involved in the process towards a new schedule.

abstract:
Apart from technical, organisational and economical challenges of long-term access to digital objects, legal implications arise as well. The KEEP project, co-funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), researched the legal aspects of emulation as part of their research to create a preservation strategy based on emulation. It addresses the legal implications in France, Germany and The Netherlands as well as on European level. Insights have been gained into the legality of transferring content from old media carriers to newer ones and the reproduction of hardware into software emulators. This paper presents the results of the study, conducted by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB) and the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB, the National Library of the Netherlands).

MEASURING CONTENT QUALITY IN A PRESERVATION  REPOSITORY: HATHITRUST AND LARGE-SCALE BOOK  DIGITIZATION

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2010/papers/measuring-content-quality-in-a-preservation-repository-hathitrus/

abstract:
As mechanisms emerge to certify the trustworthiness of
digital preservation repositories, no systematic efforts
have been devoted to assessing the quality and
usefulness of the preserved content itself. With generous
support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the
University of Michigan’s School of Information, in close
collaboration with the University of Michigan Library
and HathiTrust, is developing new methods to measure
the visual and textual qualities of books from university
libraries digitized by Google, Internet Archive, and
others and then deposited for preservation. This paper
describes a new approach to measuring quality in largescale
digitization; namely, the absence of error relative
to the expected uses of the deposited content. The paper
specifies the design of a research project to develop and
test statistically valid methods of measuring error. The
design includes a model of understanding and recording
errors observed through manual inspection of sample
volumes, and strategies to validate the outcomes of the
research through open evaluation by stakeholders and
users. The research project will utilize content deposited
in HathiTrust – a large-scale digital preservation
repository that presently contains over five million
digitized volumes – to develop broadly applicable
quality assessment strategies for preservation
repositories.

abstract:
The Bibliothèque nationale de France has developed its
trusted digital repository, SPAR (Scalable Preservation
and Archiving Repository), as a data-first system. This
implies having fully described collections, through use
of metadata standards in the information packages, such
as METS, PREMIS, MIX or textMD, in a way that will
make sense given the diversity of our documents.
The need for full documentation also applies to the
system itself. On the one hand, SPAR is self-describing
in order to ensure its durability. On the other hand, all
the information that is ingested into the system
contributes to determine its settings and its behavior.
The Data Management module is at the heart of these
information flows.
We expect to push this data-first objective ahead by
using RDF technology, based on existing and trusted
information models and ontologies, such as OAIS and
PREMIS. The challenges and successes we encounter all
serve the greater goal of having a unique and versatile
data model for every user of the system, whether
collection curator or system manager.

abstract:
Today, more and more information is being produced in a digital form. In addition to this so-called born-digital content, material that was produced to exist in an analogue form is now being digitised both for preservation and for easier access. This digital information comes in an ever greater variety of formats, many of which are relatively short-lived. Newer versions of the same software are often unable to render files produced with older versions of that software, let alone files produced with similar software from other vendors. Soft- and hardware environments change constantly and after only a few years can older files often no longer be rendered with up-to-date systems.
While large scientific organisations and memory institutions (museums, libraries and archives) have in recent years invested significant effort and activity towards digital preservation, the commercial world does not currently have the means to preserve their digital information for the long term.
This paper sets out to determine what would be needed to make modern Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Systems ready for long-term preservation of the assets stored within them. For this aim both the general Model of an ECM and the “Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS)” have been described, and the special needs of an enterprise system identified.
A special focus lies on the Electronic Records Management (ERM) component of ECMs, which already provides simple preservation functionalities, but lacks those aspects of the OAIS that would make it truly long-term preservation capable. A truly long-term preservation capable ERM would have to add these while retaining capabilities of compliance (the retention or destruction of certain documents in accordance to legal requirements).

abstract:
The National Library of the Netherlands (KB) will renew its digital archiving environment. The current system, the e-Depot with DIAS by IBM as its technical core, has been operational since 2003 and needs to be updated. More importantly, a new system is required because KB has published a new strategic plan with ambitious goals. They require development of an infrastructure that can process, store, preserve and retrieve millions of digital objects, now and for the long term. The digital collections will include e-journals, e-books, websites and digitized master images and will grow from 20 TB currently to 720 TB in 2013. The New e-Depot will also implement tools for digital preservation, as being developed in international collaboration (Planets, JHOVE, etc.).
Together with eight European national libraries, KB defined the architectural framework for the new system. It is based on a modular approach and translated into so-called building blocks for a preservation environment. This paper discusses the building blocks and the rationale for the components-based architecture of the New e-Depot. Currently, requirements for all the building blocks are finalised. A market consultation for the workflow component will starts in the summer of 2010 and the procurement process for the other components will follow in the fall. The first iteration of the New e-Depot will be delivered in 2012.

PAPER TEMPLATE FOR IPRES 2010: QUALITY  INSURANCE THROUGH BUSINESS PROCESS  MANAGEMENT IN A FRENCH ARCHIVE

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2010/papers/paper-template-for-ipres-2010-quality-insurance-through-business/

abstract:
This paper outlines the recent initiative run at CINES,
a national IT datacentre for French academic
researchers, to formalize the business processes of its
department dedicated to the long-term preservation of
digital objects, which is at present one of the very few
operational long-term preservation platforms in France
for the public sector and Higher Education and Research
in particular.
One of the strategic goals of this organization is the
evaluation and assessment of service quality. The
processes formalization activity – coupled with an
external audit and an ITIL approach – highlighted the
department good practices, gaps and weaknesses.
The processes global map and most of the twenty
detailed process maps have been put together to support
the team in its documentation goal and are available
online on the institutional web site, along with the
CINES specific rules for archival processes
formalization based on standards such as ISO 9001 or
ISO 14721.
This experiment has revealed that such a process
approach can to be an excellent mean to structure and
plan for an efficient implementation of the preservation
strategy as well as an opportunity to improve service
quality, which is actually the final objective of the digital
long-term repository of the centre since it’s aiming at the
future ISO 16363 certification.

abstract:
HathiTrust is a collaboration of universities working
together to establish a repository that archives and shares
their digitized collections. Initially, the Submission
Information Packages (SIPs) deposited into HathiTrust
were extremely uniform, being constituted primarily of
books digitized by Google. HathiTrust’s ingest
validation processes were correspondingly highly
regular, designed to ensure that these SIPs met agreedupon
qualities and specifications. As HathiTrust has
expanded to include materials digitized from other
sources, SIPs have become more varied in their content
and specifications, introducing the need to make
adjustments to ingest and validation routines. One of the
primary sources of new SIPs is the Internet Archive,
which has digitized a large number of public domain
materials owned by HathiTrust partners.
Many of the technical, structural, and
descriptive characteristics of materials digitized by the
Internet Archive did not match previously developed
standards for materials in HathiTrust. A variety of
solutions were developed to transform these materials
into HathiTrust-compatible AIPs and ingest them into
the repository. The process of developing these solutions
provides an example to other organizations that would
like to add new types of materials to their repository, but
are uncertain of the issues that may arise, or how these
issues can be addressed.

abstract:
More and more information that is considered for digital
long-term preservation is generated by Web 2.0 applications
like wikis, blogs or social networking tools. However,
there is little support for the preservation of these data today.
Currently they are preserved like regular Web sites
without taking the flexible, lightweight and mostly graphbased
data models of the underlying Web 2.0 applications
into consideration. By this, valuable information about the
relations within these data and about links to other data is
lost. Furthermore, information about the internal structure
of the data, e.g., expressed by wiki markup languages is
not preserved entirely.
We argue that this currently neglected information is
of high value in a long-term preservation strategy of Web
2.0 data and describe our approach for the preservation
of wiki contents that is based on Semantic Web technologies.
In particular we describe the distributed architecture
of our wiki preservation prototype (Urobe) which implements
a migration strategy for wiki contents and is based
on Semantic Web and Linked Data principles. Further,
we present a first vocabulary for the description of wiki
core elements derived from a combination of established
vocabularies/standards from the Semantic Web and digital
preservation domains, namely Dublin Core, SIOC, VoiD
and PREMIS.

abstract:
This paper will examine ongoing work between two
major preservation systems, the Chronopolis Digital
Preservation Program, [6] and the MetaArchive
Cooperative. [13] In the past year, these two systems
have begun work on bridging their technical
underpinnings to create a more robust, reliable, longlived
preservation community for their users. The main
emphasis of this work is moving data between a
LOCKSS-based system (MetaArchive) and an iRODSbased
one (Chronopolis). This work also involves
several other emerging preservation micro-service tools
and practices, and the expertise of the University of
North Texas (UNT) Digital Library [21] in deploying
them. The final result of this work is intended to be of
three-fold benefit: 1) directly improving the services
offered by Chronopolis and MetaArchive to their
constituents; 2) offering specific technical findings
which will be of benefit to other systems using
LOCKSS and iRODS; and 3) contributing to the larger
preservation community through the examination of
organizational best practices for preservation system
interactions.

abstract:
Repository platforms offer significant tools aiding institutions to preserve the wealth of their information resources. This paper presents the data model as well as the architectural features of Mopseus, a digital library service, built on top of Fedora-commons middleware, designed to facilitate institutions to develop and preserve their own repositories. The main advantage of Mopseus is that it minimizes the customization and programming effort that Fedora-commons involves. Moreover it provides an added value service which semantically annotates the internal structure of a Digital Object. The paper focuses on the preservation functionalities of Mopseus and presents a mechanism for automated generation of PREMIS metadata for each Digital Object of the repository. This mechanism is activated whenever an object is modified and is based on a mapping of the Mopseus data model to the PREMIS data model that ensures the validity of the transformation of the information stored in a Mopseus repository to semantically equivalent PREMIS metadata.

abstract:
This paper examines preservation planning as it is
implemented within the National Library’s preservation
repository (Rosetta) and compares it directly to the
PLATO tool created as part of the PLANETS project.
Preservation planning is both a business precondition
and the systematic framework defining any preservation
action. At the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna
Mātauranga o Aotearoa, preservation planning is
embedded within the Rosetta system.
For the Library, the challenge can be stated simply:
preserve New Zealand’s digital documentary heritage.
With no limitations or control over the format of the
content that is collected and preserved, The National
Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o
Aotearoa (NLNZ) has ‘issues’ to resolve before the
long-term preservation of digital collections can be
assured. Solving these and other problems is the
responsibility of the National Digital Heritage Archive
and a significant step has been taken through the
development of the Rosetta preservation repository
system in conjunction with Ex Libris Group.1

After four years of research within the PLANETS project
and two years of KEEP the jigsaw puzzle of emulation becomes
a more complete picture. Emulation strategies are
now seen as a viable complement to migration. A conceptual
and theoretical groundwork has already been laid
out, e.g. proper definition and selection of suitable emulators.
However, integration into preservation frameworks
and additional software archiving remain open research
questions. This paper discusses several aspects of reliable
integration and proposes development steps for a more
complete emulation-based strategies in long-term preservation.

abstract:
This paper looks at some of the domain specific preservation challenges faced by the Archaeology Data Service and how we work with these in order to maximise the re-use potential of the data that we archive. It looks in particular at one of the mandatory responsibilities of an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) and how we try to ensure that the data that we present to our designated community is ‘independently understandable’. The paper introduces the collaborative ‘Guides to Good Practice’ project which aims to provide data producers with the guidance that they need in order to create data that is well documented and thus suitable for archiving and re-use. This Mellon Foundation funded project carried out in association with Digital Antiquity in the United States is now in its final stages and includes comprehensive and practical advice for data creators plus a number of case studies which demonstrate the real practical application of the Guides.

https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2010/papers/approaches-to-archiving-professional-blogs-hosted-in-the-cloud/

abstract:
Early adopters of blogs will have made use of
externally-hosted blog platforms, such as
Wordpress.com and Blogger.com, due, perhaps, to the
lack of a blogging infrastructure within the institution or
concerns regarding restrictive terms and conditions
covering use of such services. There will be cases in
which such blogs are now well-established and contain
useful information not only for current readership but
also as a resource which may be valuable for future
generations.
The need to preserve content which is held on such
third-party services (“the Cloud’) provides a set of new
challenges which are likely to be distinct from the
management of content hosted within the institution, for
which institutional policies should address issues such
as ownership and scope of content. Such challenges
include technical issues, such as the approaches used to
gather the content and the formats to be used and policy
issues related to ownership, scope and legal issues.
This paper describes the approaches taken in
UKOLN, an applied research department based at the
University of Bath, to the preservation of blogs used in
the organisation. The paper covers the technical
approaches and policy issues associated with the
curation of blogs a number of different types of blogs:
blogs used by members of staff in the department; blogs
used to support project activities and blogs used to
support events.

abstract:
Given the growing need for cross-repository integration
to enable a trusted, scalable, open and distributed
content infrastructure, this paper introduces the Policy-
Driven Repository Interoperability (PoDRI) project
investigating interoperability mechanisms between
repositories at the policy level. Simply moving digital
content from one repository to another may not capture
the essential management policies needed to ensure its
integrity and authenticity. Platform-independent, policyaware
object models, including policy expressions, and
a distributed architecture for policy-driven management
are fundamental building blocks of a sustainable access
and preservation infrastructure. This project integrates
iRODS and Fedora to demonstrate such an
infrastructure. Using iRODS and its rules engine,
combined with Fedora’s rich semantic object model for
digital objects, provides the basis for implementing a
policy-driven test-bed. Using a policy-driven
architecture is an essential part of realizing a fully
model-driven repository infrastructure capable of
decoupling the permanent digital content from the
constantly evolving information technology used to
support them.

abstract:
On April 14, 2010, the Library of Congress and Twitter made the joint announcement that the Library would receive a gift of the archive of all public tweets shared through the service since its inception in 2006. The media and community response was tremendous, raising many questions about how the Library would be stewarding and providing access to the collection. There are many issues to consider, from the technical mechanisms of transfer to the Library and the ongoing updates to the archive, to curatorial policies, to planning for a new type of research access to a Library collection. The Twitter archive joins a number of born-digital collections at the Library. This year the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) celebrates a decade of digital preservation actions and discovery, working with a network of over 170 partners resulting in over 200 terabytes of all types of important digital content. Collectively, we have built lasting relationships, helped facilitate natural networks within the overall NDIIPP network, and tested new tools and services that support the work of the partners in the network. We will rely on the collective wisdom of our partners as we grapple with the challenges of curating and serving a digital collection as rich and diverse as the Twitter archive.

abstract:
Data attrition compromises the ability of scientists to validate and reuse the data that underlie scientific articles. For this reason, many have called to archive data supporting published articles. However, few successful models for the sustainability of disciplinary data archives exist and many of these rely heavily on ephemeral funding sources.
The Dryad project is a consortium of bioscience journals that seeks to establish a data repository to which authors can submit, upon publication, integral data that does not otherwise have a dedicated public archive. This archive is intended to be sustained, in part, through the existing economy of scholarly publishing. In 2009, Dryad commissioned the develop-ment of a cost model and sustainability plan. Here we report the outcome of this work to date.
The sustainability efforts of Dryad are expected to provide a model that may be exported to other disciplines, informing the scale needed for a sustainable “small science” data repository and showing how to accommodate diverse business practices among scholarly publishers, funding agencies and research institutions.

abstract:
This paper summarizes work done in a PhD study on
metadata driven imitation for preservation of visual
appearance of web forms and/or receipts used in
eGovernment services. The research done suggests that
metadata, and e.g. a background image, can be used to
describe the visual appearance of documents, and that
this also facilitates having the data separated from the
visual appearance. This separation provides the ability
to present the material to the users in different ways,
depending on their needs and requirements, while
retaining the ability to present the object in its original
look. The original look is seen as the most versatile way
of presenting the material, giving the most fruitful base
of interpretation and understanding, but if the users
where familiar with the material, they liked the ability to
have the material presented in simplified ways, where
many of the sometimes "distracting" visual attributes
where removed. In general, preserving the visual
appearance and keeping the data separated from the
form, was seen as useful and beneficial to both the users
and the preservation professionals. As always in digital
preservation contexts, documentation of this process
and the relation between the metadata describing the
visual appearance

abstract:
The digital content lifecycle is generally understood as a set of activities: select, get and/or produce, prepare and/or assemble, describe, manage, and, as appropriate, make available. At the bit level, digital content is viewed as files on a file system. Many crucial activities of the digital content lifecycle are therefore undertaken primarily at the bit level, including transferring, moving, and inventorying files, and verifying that files have not changed over time. The identifiable entities at the bit-level – files and directories -- are widely and easily understood by Library of Congress digital collection data managers and curators. As part of its initial development in support pf preservation services, the Library is working on a suite of solutions to enable the activities of the digital lifecycle for files and directories. Current and planned tool and service development focus on the BagIt specification for the packaging of content; the LC Inventory System to record lifecycle events; and workflow tools that leverage both. The outcomes for the Library include the documentation of best practices, open source software releases, and support for a file-level preservation audit.

abstract:
Because of the historical value of email in the late 20th
and 21st centuries, Harvard University Libraries began
planning for an email archiving project in early 2007. A
working group comprised of University archivists,
curators, records managers, librarians and technologists
studied the problem and recommended the undertaking
of a pilot email archiving project at the University
Library. This two-year pilot would implement a system
for ingest, processing, preservation, and eventual end
user delivery of email, in anticipation of it becoming an
ongoing central service at the University after the pilot.
This paper describes some of the unexpected challenges
encountered during the pilot project and how they were
addressed by design decisions. Key challenges included
the requirement to design the system so that it could
handle other types of born digital content in the future,
and the effect of archiving email with sensitive data to
Harvard’s preservation repository, the Digital
Repository Service (DRS).

abstract:
In this paper we present a case study and selected results
from a research on digital preservation amongst digital
libraries in Europe. We propose a framework for gap
analysis in digital preservation encompassing the
diffusion of preservation practices and the life-cycle of
data. We also present a Gap Analysis Tool that we
developed to support visual analysis of gaps in the
implementation of digital preservation amongst
communities. We discuss selected results from the
application of the tool in the community of libraries in
Europe.

abstract:
An accepted digital preservation workflow is emerging in
which file formats are identified and those believed to be
at risk are migrated to what are perceived to be less risky
formats. This raises important questions about what to
convert and when, if at all. In other words, how to connect
file identification and migration. This area has become
known as preservation planning, and seeks to take
account of a wide variety of factors that might impact
preservation decisions. Broadly there are two approaches
to preservation planning. One provided in some digital
preservation systems is to simplify and reduce both the
number of file formats stored and therefore limit the number
of preservation tools needed based on accepted recommendations.
A more thorough, flexible and possibly
complex approach, supported by the Plato preservation
planning tool developed by the Planets project, allows decisions
on preservation actions to combine analysis of the
characteristics of different file formats with specific local
requirements, such as costs and resources. This paper
shows how Plato can be integrated with digital repository
software, in this case EPrints, to enable this powerful approach
to be used effectively to manage content in repositories
of different sizes and with varying degrees of preservation
expertise and support. These tools are accessed via
a common repository interface to enable repository managers,
and others who do not specialise in preservation, to
moderate decisions on preservation planning and to control
preservation actions.

BABS2: A NEW PHASE, A NEW PERSPECTIVE IN DIGITAL LONG-TERM PRESERVATION – AN EXPERIENCE REPORT FROM THE BAVARIAN STATE LIBRARY

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2010/papers/babs2-a-new-phase-a-new-perspective-in-digital-long-term-preserv/

abstract:
BABS is an acronym for Library Archiving and Access System (Bibliothekarisches Archivierungs- und Bereitstellungssystem), which constitutes the infrastructure for digital long-term preservation at the Bavarian State Library (BSB). During the two-year project BABS2 funded by German Research Association (DFG) BSB focuses together with the Leibniz-Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) on advancing its organizational and technical processes under the aspect of trustworthiness according to the nestor criteria catalogue. Important achievements are e.g. framing an institutional policy for digital preservation including local, regional, national tasks of a large-scale research and archive library, conducting and evaluating a survey concerning the archiving requirements of all BSB departments, documenting the ongoing archiving processes, introducing an appropriate quality management and improving the scalability of the preservation system. Additionally BSB participate in different national and international committees.
This experience report sheds light on the various organizational and technical aspects which have to be taken into consideration when enhancing an existing infrastructure for digital long-term preservation.

abstract:
The scholarly community’s dependence on electronic
resources is rapidly increasing and those electronic
resources are increasingly preserved in digital
repositories or other preservation services. Whether
locally hosted at libraries, collaboratively hosted
between institutions, or externally hosted by a third
party, one method for these digital repositories to take to
assure themselves and their communities of their
soundness is to be audited and certified by impartial
organizations. Such independent organizations with
staff experienced in executing audits and certifications
can represent the interests of the academic community.
Such staff will have the time and skills required to
perform a thorough review of the methodologies and
policies of each digital repository.
Over the course of 2009, the Center for Research
Libraries (CRL) audited Portico, a third party
preservation service. At the conclusion of the audit,
CRL certified Portico as a trustworthy digital repository.
The audit was a lengthy, productive experience for
Portico. We share the experience here both to impart the
depth of the audit and to inform other organizations of
what steps might be involved should they choose to be
audited and certified.

abstract:
A prerequisite for digital preservation is to be able to capture
and retain the content which is considered worth preserving.
This has been a significant challenge for web archiving,
especially for websites with embedded streaming media
content, which cannot be copied via a simple HTTP request to
a URL. This paper describes the approach taken by the British
Library in capturing and replaying streaming media in a web
archive. A working system is now in place which will lead to
the development of more generic tools and workflows,
contributing to addressing a common challenge for the web
archiving community. The British Library recently archived a
large scale public arts project website,
http://www.oneandother.co.uk, which contains 2,400 hours of
flash videos, streamed over Real Time Messaging Protocol
(RTMP). The case study also presents an overview of the nontechnical
issues relevant to archiving this high-profile website.

abstract:
The focus of this paper is on which digital objects to preserve when preserving digital library materials derived from original paper materials. It will investigate preservation strategies for digital objects from digitised paper material that must both be preserved and simultaneously retain a short route to dissemination. The investigation is based on a study of digitisation done a decade ago and digitisation done today. In the last decade mass digitisation has become more commonly used since technological evolution has made it cheaper and quicker. The paper explores whether there are parts of digital material digitised a decade ago worth preserving, or whether a re-digitisation via mass digitisation today can create a relevant alternative. The results presented show that the old digitised objects are worth preserving, although new digitisation can contribute additional information. A supplementary result is that investment in digitisation can mean lower costs in the long term. Manual adjustments for the image processing can result in considerably smaller images than images made in cheap mass digitisation. Although initial manual work is more expensive, the storage and bit preservation expenses are lower over a long period.

abstract:
Digital preservation is difficult. The technical difficulties
are the cause of much research. Other types of difficulty are
those to do with organisational commitment, funding and
context.
With the increasing interest on global change monitoring,
also the use and exploitation of long time series of Earth
Observation (EO) data has been increasing systematically,
calling for a need to preserve the EO data without time
constrains.
On the other hand:
· Data archiving and preservation strategies are still
mostly limited to the satellite lifetime and few years
after.
· The data volumes are increasing dramatically.
· Archiving and data access technology are evolving
rapidly.
· EO data archiving strategies, if existing at all, are
different for each EO mission, each operator or
agency.
In the meantime the issue grows more urgent since more
and more EO missions’ data can be called ‘historic’ and more
and more operators are faced with the decision of whether
and how to preserve their data.
This paper describes the European Space Agency’s (ESA)
plans for long term commitment to preserving EO data
concerning Europe. We believe this shows that ESA provides
a pathfinder example of the way in which all these difficulties
can be tackled.

abstract:
The Austrian state is building an integrated “cradle to grave” electronic records management and archive process to ensure that electronic records are managed correctly throughout their lifetime.
This has already included the rollout of records management through federal agencies via the ELAK (Elektronisher Akt) system and the specification of a format for transfer between agencies called EDIAKT. The latter includes transfer to the national archives and thus, in essence, the definition of the format of a valid SIP that can be ingested into an archival system.
The Austrian Federal Chancellery is now funding the provision of such a central archival system plus a general license allowing all Austrian public bodies to benefit from the technology for archiving and preservation. After a competitive tender, Siemens IT Solutions & Systems are providing this system utilising the Safety Deposit Box (SDB) system from Tessella.
This system will ingest the SIPs (in EDIAKT format) into long-term storage and provide comprehensive access, data management, preservation and administration functions. The Österreichische Staatsarchiv (Austrian State Archives) will be the first to use this system by the end of 2010.
This is the basis on which the requirements for maintaining electronic records, which will be the sources of historical research in the future, are being created. This will preserve the historical heritage of Austria for generations to come.

abstract:
Properties of digital objects play a central role in digital
preservation. All key preservation services are linked via
a common understanding of the properties which describe
the digital objects in a repository's care. Unfortunately,
different services deal with properties on
sometimes different levels of description. While, for example,
a preservation characterization service may extract
the fontSize of a string, the preservation planning
service may require the preservation of the text’s formatting.
Additionally, a value for the same property may be
obtained in various ways, sometimes resulting in different
observed values. Furthermore, properties are not always
equally applicable across different file formats.
This report investigates where in these three situations
relationships between properties need to be defined
to overcome possible misalignments.
The analysis was based on observations gained during
a case study of the nature of the properties that are captured
in different institutions’ preservation requirements
and those of use in Planets preservation services.

abstract:
The Web is increasingly becoming a platform for linked data. This means making connections and adding value to data on the Web. As more data becomes openly available and more people are able to use the data, it becomes more powerful. An example is file format registries and the evaluation of format risks. Here the requirement for information is now greater than the effort that any single institution can put into gathering and collating this information. Recognising that more is better, the creators of PRONOM, JHOVE, GDFR and others are joining to lead a new initiative, the Unified Digital Format Registry. Ahead of this effort a new RDF-based framework for structuring and facilitating file format data from multiple sources including PRONOM has demonstrated it is able to produce more links, and thus provide more answers to digital preservation questions - about format risks, applications, viewers and transformations - than the native data alone. This paper will describe this registry, P2, and its services, show how it can be used, and provide examples where it delivers more answers than the contributing resources.

Integrating Metadata Standards to Support Long-Term Preservation of Digital Assets: Developing Best Practices for Expressing Preservation Metadata in a Container Format

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2009/papers/integrating-metadata-standards-to-support-long-term-preservation/

abstract:
This paper explores the purpose and development of best practice guidelines for the use of preservation metadata as detailed in the PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata within documents conforming to the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS). METS is an XML schema that provides a container format integrating various forms of metadata with digital objects or links to digital objects. Because of the flexibility of METS to serve many different functions within digital systems and to support many different metadata structures, integration guidelines will facilitate common practices among institutions. There is constant tension between tighter control over the METS package to support object exchange versus each implementation's unique preservation metadata requirements given the different contexts and implementation models among PREMIS implementers. The PREMIS in METS Guidelines serve primarily as a standard for submission and dissemination information packages. This paper details the issues encountered in using the standards together, and how the METS document changes as events pertaining to the lifecycle of digital assets are recorded for future preservation purposes. The guidelines have enabled the implementation of an exchange format and creation/validation tools based on the PREMIS in METS guidelines.

abstract:
The Danish Ministry of Culture is currently funding a project to set up a model for costing preservation of digital materials held by national cultural heritage institutions. The overall objective of the project is to provide a basis for comparing and estimating future financial requirements for digital preservation and to increase cost effectiveness of digital preservation activities. In this study we describe an activity based costing methodology for digital preservation based on the OAIS Reference Model. In order to estimate the cost of digital migrations we have identified cost critical activities by analysing the OAIS Model, and supplemented this analysis with findings from other models, literature and own experience. To verify the model it has been tested on two sets of data from a normalisation project and a migration project at the Danish National Archives. The study found that the OAIS model provides a sound overall framework for cost breakdown, but that some functions, especially when it comes to performing and evaluating the actual migration, need additional detailing in order to cost activities accurately.

abstract:
The term "Significant Properties" has been given a variety of definitions and used in various ways over the past several years. The relationship between Significant Properties and the OAIS term Representation Information has been a puzzle. This paper proposes a definition of Significant Properties which provides a way to clarify this relationship and indicates how the concept can be used in a coherent way. We believe that this approach is consistent with the actual use of the concept and does not invalidate the previous pieces of work but rather provides a clear and consistent view of the concept. It also links together Authenticity and Provenance which are also key concepts in digital preservation.

nestor, the German network of expertise in digital preservation started as a time-limited project in 2003. Besides the establishment of a network of expertise with an information platform, working groups, and training opportunities, a central goal of the project phase was to prepare a sustainable organization model for the network's services. In July 2009, nestor transformed into a sustainable organization with 6 of the 7 project partners and 2 additional organizations entering into a consortium agreement. The preparation of the sustainable organization was a valuable experience for the project partners because vision and mission of the network were critically discussed and refined for the future organization. Some more aspects were identified that also need further refinement in order to make nestor fit for the future. These aspects shall be discussed in the paper.

abstract:
In this paper, I consider whether virtual worlds are history in two senses of the word. The first explores the implications of the life-cycle of virtual worlds, especially of their extinction, for thinking about the history of computerbased technologies, as well as their use. The moment when a virtual world “is history” – when it shuts down – reminds us that every virtual world has a history. Histories of individual virtual worlds are inextricably bound up with the intellectual and cultural history of virtual world technologies and communities. The second sense of the virtual world as history brings us directly to issues of historical documentation, digital preservation and curation of virtual worlds. I consider what will remain of virtual worlds after they close down, either individually or perhaps even collectively.

The long term preservation is a responsibility to share with other organizations, even adopting different preservation methods and tools. The overcoming of the interoperability issues, by means of the achievement of a flawless exchange of digital assets to preserve, enables the feasibility of applying distributed digital preservation policies. The Archives Ready To AIP Transmission a PREMIS Based Project (ARTAT-PBP) aims to experiment with the adoption of a common preservation metadata standard as interchange language in a network of cooperating organizations that need to exchange digital resources with the mutual objective of preserving them in the long term.

abstract:
TIPR, Towards Interoperable Preservation Repositories, is a project funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services to create and test the Repository eXchange Package (RXP). The package will make it possible to transfer complex digital objects between dissimilar preservation repositories. For reasons of redundancy, succession planning and software migration, such repositories must be able to exchange copies of archival information packages with each other. Every different repository design, however, describes and structures its archival packages differently. Therefore each type produces dissemination packages that are rarely understandable or usable as submission packages by other repositories. The RXP is an answer to that mismatch. Other solutions for transferring packages between repositories focus either on transfers between repositories of the same type, such as DSpace-to-DSpace transfers, or on processes that translate a specific dissemination format into a specific submission package. Rather than build translators between many dissimilar repository types, the TIPR project has defined a standards-based package of metadata files that can act as an intermediary information package, the RXP, a lingua franca all repositories can read and write. In this paper we present the assumptions and principles underlying the TIPR concept of repository-to-repository exchange, and proceed to describe three aspects of the TIPR project: the RXP format itself; the tests we are conducting to prove and improve the use of the RXP; and finally, issues that have arisen in the course of the project so far.

abstract:
Undoubtedly, long-term preservation has raised a great deal of attention worldwide, but in a broader perspective the attention is out of proportion compared to the number of real operational solutions – not to mention the big picture of a comprehensive digital preservation infrastructure. Up to now, the existing digital preservation infrastructure mainly consists of a small number of scattered trusted long-term archiving data repositories, which have the control of and the responsibility for our digital heritage. The ongoing discussion on e-Infrastructure points out that we are still lacking reliable structures which support the expected integrated digital preservation infrastructure provided jointly by cultural heritage organizations, data centers and data producers. The slow development towards a global integrated digital preservation infrastructure in combination with adjacent pressing questions for the information infrastructure in general has led to an extended strategic discussion within the last years in Europe and the US: In studies, position papers and evaluation approaches we find elaborated building blocks for a roadmap and definitions for a more advanced landscape. With a focus especially on the German situation and on existing and ongoing practical experiences, the paper discusses reasons and strategic aspects which maybe can illuminate the prohibitive factors for the unassertive progress.

abstract:
In the last few years digital preservation has started to transition from a theoretical discipline to one where real solutions are beginning to be used. The Planets project has analyzed the readiness of libraries, archives and related organizations to begin to use the outputs of various digital preservation initiatives (and, in particular, the outputs of the Planets project). This talk will discuss the outcomes of this exercise which have revealed an increasing understanding the problem. It has also shown concerns about its scale (in terms of data volumes and types of data) and on the maturity of existing solutions (most people are only aware of piecemeal solutions). It also shows that there is a new challenge emerging: moving from running digital preservation projects to embedding the processes within their organisations.

abstract:
The Planets project is developing a service-oriented environment for the definition and evaluation of preservation strategies for human- centric data. It focuses on the question of logically preserving digital materials, as opposed to the physical preservation of content bit-streams. This includes the development of preservation tools for the automated characterization, migration, and comparison of different types of digital objects as well as the emulation of their original runtime environment in order to ensure longtime access and interpretability. The Planets integrated environment provides a number of end-user applications that allow data curators to execute and scientifically evaluate preservation experiments based on composable preservation services. In this paper, we focus on the middleware and programming model and show how it can be utilized in order to create complex preservation workflows.

abstract:
Blog archiving and preservation is not a new challenge. Current solutions are commonly based on typical web archiving activities, whereby a crawler is configured to harvest a copy of the blog and return the copy to a web archive. Yet this is not the only solution, nor is it always the most appropriate. We propose that in some cases, an approach building on the functionality provided by web feeds offers more potential. This paper describes research to develop such an approach, suitable for organisations of varying size and which can be implemented with relatively little resource and technical know-how: the ArchivePress project.

abstract:
The ingest and its preparation are crucial steps and of strategical importance for digital preservation. If we want to move digital preservation into the mainstream we have to make them as easy as possible. The aim of the NESTOR guide "Into The Archive" is to help streamlining the planning and execution of ingest projects. The main challenge for such a guide is to provide help for a broad audience with heterogeneous use cases and without detailed background knowledge on the producer side. This paper will introduce the guide, present first experiences and discuss the challenges.

abstract:
This paper addresses a particular domain within the sphere of activity that is coming to be known as personal digital papers or personal digital archives. We are concerned with contemporary writers of belles-lettres (fiction, poetry, and drama), and the implications of the shift toward word processing and other forms of electronic text production for the future of the cultural record, in particular literary scholarship. The urgency of this topic is evidenced by the recent deaths of several high-profile authors, including David Foster Wallace and John Updike, both of whom are known to have left behind electronic records containing unpublished and incomplete work alongside of their more traditional manuscript materials. We argue that literary and other creatively-oriented originators offer unique challenges for the preservation enterprise, since the complete digital context for individual records is often of paramount importance—what Richard Ovenden, in a helpful phrase (in conversation) has termed “the digital materiality of digital culture.” We will therefore discuss preservation and access scenarios that account for the computer as a complete artifact and digital environment, drawing on examples from the born-digital materials in literary collections at Emory University, the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Maryland.

Preserving the Digital Memory of the Government of Canada: Influence and Collaboration with Records Creators

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2009/papers/preserving-the-digital-memory-of-the-government-of-canada-influe/

abstract:
Library and Archives Canada has a wide mandate to preserve and provide access to Canadian published heritage, records of national significance, as well as to acquire the records created by the Government of Canada, deemed to be of historical importance. To address this mandate, Library and Archives Canada has undertaken the development of a digital preservation infrastructure covering policy, standards and enterprise applications which will serve requirements for ingest, metadata management, preservation and access. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the efforts underway to engage digital recordkeeping activities in the Government of Canada and to influence and align those processes with LAC digital preservation requirements. The LAC strategy to implement preservation considerations early in the life cycle of the digital record is to establish a mandatory legislative and policy framework for recordkeeping in government. This includes a Directive on Recordkeeping, Core Digital Records Metadata Standard for archival records, Digital File Format Guidance, as well as Web 2.0 and Email Recordkeeping Guidelines. The expected success of these initiatives, and collaborative approach should provide a model for other digital heritage creators in Canada.

abstract:
The creation of most digital objects occurs solely in interactive graphical user interfaces which were available at the particular time period. Archiving and preservation organizations are posed with large amounts of such objects of various types. At some point they will need to, if possible, automatically process these to make them available to their users or convert them to a valid format. A substantial problem in creating an automated process is the availability of suitable tools. We are suggesting a new method, which uses an operating system and application independent interactive workflow for the migration of digital objects using an emulated environment. Success terms for the conception and functionality of emulation environments are therefore devised which should be applied to future long-term archiving methods.

abstract:
DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services), the Dutch scientific data archive for the social sciences and humanities is engaged in the MIXED project to develop open source software that implements the “smart migration” strategy concerning the long-term archiving of file formats. Smart migration concerns the conversion upon ingest of specific kinds of data formats, such as spreadsheets and databases, to an intermediate XML formatted file. It is assumed that the longterm curation of the XML files is much less problematic than the migration of binary source files and that the intermediate XML file can be converted in an efficient way to file formats that are common in the future. The features of the intermediate XML files are stored in the so-called SDFP schema (Standard Data Formats for Preservation). This XML schema can be considered as an umbrella as it contains existing formal descriptions of file formats developed by others. SDFP contains also a schemas developed by DANS, e.g. a schema for file oriented databases. It can be used e.g. for the binary "DataPerfect" format that was used on a large scale about twenty years ago and for which no existing XML schema could be found. The software developed in the MIXED project has been set up as a generic framework, together with a number of plug-ins. It can be considered as a repository of durable file format conversions. The MIXED project is at its ending phase and this paper contains an overview of the results.

abstract:
In order better to meet the needs of its diverse University of California constituencies, the California Digital Library UC Curation Center is re-envisioning its approach to digital curation infrastructure by devolving function into a set of granular, independent, but interoperable microservices. Since each of these services is small and self-contained, they are more easily developed, deployed, maintained, and enhanced; at the same time, complex curation function can emerge from the strategic combination of atomistic services. The emergent approach emphasizes the persistence of content rather than the systems in which that management occurs, thus the paradigmatic archival culture is not unduly coupled to any particular technological context. This results in a curation environment that is comprehensive in scope, yet flexible with regard to local policies and practices and sustainable despite the inevitability of disruptive change in technology and user expectation.

abstract:
Only a small part of the research which has been carried out to date on the preservation of digital objects has looked specifically at the preservation of software. This is because the preservation of software has been seen as a less urgent problem than the preservation of other digital objects, and also the complexity of software artifacts makes the problem of preserving them a daunting one. Nevertheless, there are good reasons to want to preserve software. In this paper we consider some of the motivations behind software preservation, based on an analysis of software preservation practice. We then go on to consider what it means to preserve software, discussing preservation approaches, and developing a performance model which determines how the adequacy of the a software preservation method. Finally we discuss some implications for preservation analysis for the case of software artifacts.

Emphasis will be placed on the various approaches to estimate preservation costs including the use of templates to facilitate user interaction with the costing tool. The paper will also explore how the results of the Project will help to inform preservation planning and collection management decisions with a discussion of scenarios in which the LIFE costing tool could be applied. This will be supported by a description of how adopting institutions are already utilising LIFE tools and techniques to analyse and refine their existing preservation activity as well as to enhance their collection management decision making.

abstract:
For millions of legacy documents, correct rendering depends upon resources such as fonts that are not generally embedded within the document structure. Yet there is significant risk of information loss due to missing or incorrectly substituted fonts. In this paper we use a collection of 230,000 Word documents to assess the difficulty of matching font requirements with a database of fonts. We describe the identifying information contained in common font formats, font requirements stored in Word documents, the API provided by Windows to support font requests by applications, the documented substitution algorithms used by Windows when requested fonts are not available, and the ways in which support software might be used to control font substitution in a preservation environment.

Mainstreaming Preservation through Slicing and Dicing of Digital Repositories: Investigating Alternative Service and Resource Options for ContextMiner Using Data Grid Technology

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2009/papers/mainstreaming-preservation-through-slicing-and-dicing-of-digital/

abstract:
A digital repository can be seen as a combination of services, resources, and policies. One of the fundamental design questions for digital repositories is how to break down the services and resources: who will have responsibility, where they will reside, and how they will interact. There is no single, optimal answer to this question. The most appropriate arrangement depends on many factors that vary across repository contexts and are very likely to change over time. This paper reports on our investigation and testing of various repository "slicing and dicing" scenarios, their potential benefits, and implications for implementation, administration, and service offerings. Vital considerations for each option (1) efficiencies of resource use, (2) management of dependencies across entities, and (3) the repository business model most appropriate to the participating organizations.

abstract:
Important legal and economic motivations exist for the design and engineering industry to address and integrate digital long-term preservation into product life cycle management (PLM). Investigations revealed that it is not sufficient to archive only the product design data which is created in early PLM phases, but preservation is needed for data that is produced during the entire product lifecycle including early and late phases. Data that is relevant for preservation consists of requirements analysis documents, design rationale, data that reflects experiences during product operation and also metadata like social collaboration context. In addition, also the engineering environment itself that contains specific versions of all tools and services is a candidate for preservation. This paper takes a closer look at engineering preservation use case scenarios as well as PLM characteristics and workflows that are relevant for long-term preservation. Resulting requirements for a long-term preservation system lead to an OAIS (Open Archival Information System) based system architecture and a proposed preservation service interface that respects the needs of the engineering industry.

The Human Face of Digital Preservation: Organizational and Staff Challenges, and Initiatives at the Bibliothèque nationale de France

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2009/papers/the-human-face-of-digital-preservation-organizational-and-staff/

abstract:
The process of setting up a digital preservation repository in compliancy with the OAIS model is not only a technical challenge: libraries also need to develop and maintain appropriate skills and organizations. Digital activities, including digital preservation, are nowadays moving into the mainstream activity of the Library and are integrated in its workflows. The Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) has been working on the definition of digital preservation activities since 2003. This paper aims at presenting the organizational and human resources challenges that have been faced by the library in this context, and those that are still awaiting us. The library has been facing these challenges through a variety of actions at different levels: organizational changes, training sessions, dedicated working group and task forces, analysis of skills and processes, etc. The results of these actions provide insights on how a national library is going digital, and what is needed to reach this longstanding goal.

abstract:
Specimens of early computer systems stop working every day. One storage medium that was popular for home computers in the 1980s was the audio tape. The first home computer systems allowed the use of standard cassette players to record and replay data. Audio tapes are more durable than old home computers when properly stored. Devices playing this medium (i.e. tape recorders) can be found in working condition or can be repaired as they are made out of standard components. By re-engineering the format of the waveform the data on such media can then be extracted from a digitized audio stream. This work presents a case study of extracting data created on an early home computer system, the Philips G7400. Results show that with some error correction methods parts of the tapes are still readable, even without the original system. It also becomes clear, that it is easier to build solutions now when the original systems are still available.

abstract:
The challenge of digital preservation of scientific data lies in the need to preserve not only the dataset itself but also the ability it has to deliver knowledge to a future user community. A true scientific research asset allows future users to reanalyze the data within new contexts. Thus, in order to carry out meaningful preservation we need to ensure that future users are equipped with the necessary information to re-use the data. This paper presents an overview of a preservation analysis methodology which was developed in response to that need on the CASPAR and Digital Curation Centre SCARP projects. We intend to place it in relation to other digital preservation practices discussing how they can interact to provide archives caring for scientific data sets with the full arsenal of tools and techniques necessary to rise to this challenge.

abstract:
Effective digital preservation depends on a set of preservation services that work together to ensure that digital objects can be preserved for the long-term. These services need digital preservation metadata, in particular, descriptions of the properties that digital objects may have and descriptions of the requirements that guide digital preservation services. This paper analyzes how these services interact and use this metadata and develops a data dictionary to support them.

abstract:
An integrated research data management (RDM) enables reproducible and verifiable research, linking of interdisciplinary expertise, sharing of research for comparison, and integration of different analysis results and metadata studies. An increasing adoption of FAIR principles and requirements by funding agencies has significantly benefited overall quality, reuse, and sharing of research results. For scientists, a proper data management is a crucial element to prove their findings and make them reproducible. As a consequence, RDM had to become an integral part of the science support infrastructure in todays research institutions.

Scientist of various disciplines should be supported over the data lifecycle starting from holistic planning of future projects to RDM related services provided: As RDM is a multidimensional endeavor requiring various skills; tasks ranging from community specific to community needs are optimally handed to the best qualified provider. The presented concepts and considerations are work in progress while establishing an organizational frameworks for a research university. Completely reproducible preferably open data publications including the relevant data-sets' context are the ultimate goal. These require appropriate service components like EaaSI. The university strives to profit from the overlaps in RDM and digital preservation and to define the handover of tasks from the first to the latter.

abstract:
A project team was established in late 2019 to create a Siegfried/Wikidata integration. The project was established to make Yale University Library’s work curating digital preservation data in Wikidata actionable; that is, enable it to be consumed by the Siegfried utility for the purpose of file format identification. Once accessible by such a tool, file-system data can be linked directly to Wikidata records and thus the breadth and depth of the Wikidata dataset. The combination opens up possibilities around the EaaSI work also being developed with Wikidata in mind. The Siegfried/Wikidata collaboration was an intentional one that would have been difficult to make happen through normal circumstances; be that geographic or organisational dispersal, opportunity, or cost. The project was seen as a worthwhile endeavour to pursue independently of these restrictions and other projects may in the future need to resort to non-traditional approaches to achieve their aim. The first iteration of this work successfully went live in October 2020 and for it to continue to succeed there is a call to arms from those in the digital preservation and Wikidata communities to help push it further. Work in the pipeline is believed will continue to demonstrate the worthwhile nature of today's commitment.

abstract:
Since 1996, the Internet Archive (IA) has provided storage, preservation, and access infrastructure and services to over 1,000 cultural heritage organizations around the world. It has also provided customized digital preservation services on a contractual basis to a handful of large institutions. In 2020, IA began building a more generalized digital preservation service in response to the needs of a broader range of institutions and to leverage IA’s self-owned data centers, non-profit cloud services, and demonstrated expertise in both small and petabyte-scale digital stewardship. This system is being developed in direct dialogue with 30+ organizations, including universities, public libraries, arts organizations, and cultural heritage organizations, over the course of the 2021 - 2022 year. This paper shares key takeaways from the information collected from this pre-pilot phase and serves as a lean landscape review of the current gaps within the digital preservation landscape, particularly as they relate to the distinct needs and goals of nonprofits, libraries, and cultural heritage organizations, that this service aims to address.

abstract:
Database preservation frequently happens post-factum: databases are transferred and migrated into preservation formats and environments after a project has ended.
This increases the risks concerning incompatibility and pushes the preservation burden after the initial lifetime and use of the data.
We propose a database repository infrastructure, where databases are created, used and preserved directly in the data curation environment. This increases the FAIRness of the data curated as professional data stewardship activities accompany the databases right from the onset. We present the FAIR Data Austria Database Repository (FDA-DBRepo) infrastructure and provide a first version of an open-source reference implementation.

abstract:
The growing adoption of AI and data analytics in various sectors has resulted in digital preservation emerging as a cross-sectoral problem that affects everyone from data-driven enterprises to memory institutions alike. As all contemporary storage media suffer from fundamental density and durability limitations, researchers
have started investigating new media that can offer high-density, long-term preservation of digital data. In the European Union-funded Future and Emerging Technologies project OligoArchive, we are exploring one such media, namely, synthetic Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA). In this paper, we provide an overview of the ongoing collaboration between project OligoArchive and the Danish National Archive in preserving culturally important digital data with synthetic DNA.

A data-visiting infrastructure for providing access to preserved databases that cannot be shared or made publicly accessible

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/a-data-visiting-infrastructure-for-providing-access-to-preserved/

abstract:
Databases preserved in archives contain highly valuable information that frequently cannot be made freely accessible for analyses via standard data portals, be it due to legal, commercial or ethical issues. We present OSSDIP, the reference implementation of a high-security data visiting infrastructure initially conceived as a safe-compute environment for medical data. It provides highly controlled and monitored data visiting services while ensuring to the largest degree possible that data cannot be extracted from the infrastructure. This may offer archives a viable alternative for providing restricted access to sensitive data in a more flexible manner.

abstract:
When preserving spreadsheets, in certain cases it is decided to convert the spreadsheet file format to an image-based file format such as TIF. However, during this conversion, a loss of information can occur. Certain functionalities cannot be translated to the new file format and therefore lose their meaning. An example of this are formulas. When converting towards an image-based file format, the outcome of the formula will still be displayed, but the calculation that is behind it is lost. It is therefore imperative to find out which properties in spreadsheets are significant, such that these can be preserved. The Open Preservation Foundation’s Archives Interest Group (OPF AIG) decided to research this using the InSPECT methodology, which consists of both an Object Analysis and a Stakeholder Analysis. These two types of analysis eventually led to a longer report which was published, in which not only our results were shared, but also a reusable and practice-tested method to apply the InSPECT methodology. In this paper, we present the main findings of our research.

GROWTH RINGS AND DIGITAL PRESERVATION Three meditations on strategies to preserve performance-dependent items

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/growth-rings-and-digital-preservation-three-meditations-on-strat/

abstract:
This short paper consists of three meditations on potentially fruitful concepts for  the preservation of performance-dependent heritage derived from a study of the use of 1970s media art. The meditations cover the following topics: 1) there are aspects to ritual that can guide principles for digital preservation;  2) as a result of use, growth rings that reflect that use can be added to items as a form of enriched metadata; and  3) in literary translations, ‘clouds of meaning’ can be shared with readers by showing both the original and the translation [1]. Some future users will want to understand not just the content of item that has undergone migration or emulation, they will want to investigate that process itself, able to interrogate both the original item and its iterations.

abstract:
With the advent of the so-called Web 2.0 technologies, web resources became the primary platform for internal and external collaboration, knowledge exchange, and self-publication. Many of these services cannot be fully preserved by solely relying on client-side technologies like crawlers. In particular, their dynamic and reactive character will be lost by generating static snapshots. In this article, we develop concepts and describe infrastructure built on emulation to address the problem of retiring obsolete web service infrastructure while keeping the service long-term accessible and usable. We show the practicability of this approach by the example of three use-cases from academic projects.

abstract:
Digital preservation (DP) service can be provided at various levels and by different agents. But the very nature of DP requires that the service be provided in a reliable, resilient, trustworthy, and sustainable way. This further demands a systematic thinking covering the contextual, legal, organizational, technical, administrative, financial, and personnel aspects of the services, and an evidence-based operations approach ensuring the requirements for trustworthiness is understandable, implementable, measurable, verifiable, retraceable, accountable, transparent, and efficiently executable. The auditing is a tool and an opportunity, but the resulting trustworthy service is the starting point and the desired result. The workshop will summarize international understanding, standards, and best practices, but will mainly use the experience of NDPP to illustrate how a real life digital preservation service develops itself in response to the requirements of trustworthiness auditing in regard of those principles. The audience will be asked to discuss their requirements and efforts or plans from their individual needs for digital preservation services.

abstract:
In order to assess the potential suitability of digital preservation efforts for future research, it is necessary to understand how users interact with information in the present. Yet there is very little information on how humanities researchers – a key user group for archives – interact with archives beyond discovery. In the following, we show the importance of recognising end-users as part of wider information workflows that comprise not only discovery but the reuse of information and an unfolding interpretation of materials to construct new knowledge. We make our case through the presentation of findings from a naturalistic empirical observation of 11 humanities researchers engaging in research at a national archive. Our work identifies two research practices important to knowledge construction – reading and collecting –through which scholars create an interpretation of the archival record situated in its wider context.

Cultural Heritage plays an important role in a modern city like Shenzhen. An archaeological discovery of Shenzhen 5000 years ago is innovatively preserved
in library digital repository using digitalization and multimedia technologies at Southern University of Science and Technology(SUSTech). Multimedia modalities including interactive text,audio,image,graph,andvideo contents are developed, curated, and preserved in the project. Multimedia animation of a unique ritual culture from the archaeological discovery is further developed through deploying new computer graphics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The project is materialized through inter-
disciplinary collaboration among members from various teams with expertise in archaeology, multimedia, AI, and digital preservation. This collaboration enables the re-imaging of Shenzhen 5000 years ago innovatively with modern and technical elements.

abstract:
With the development of digital technology, museums are facing a great challenge in the preservation and utilization of 3D data of cultural relics. Based on the demands on long-term preservation of 3D data of cultural relics by museums, a solution of 3D digitization of cultural relics is proposed in this paper for the unbalanced cost-efficiency-result, rare data utilization and inconsistent data storage scheme in the process of digitization. To solve the problem of unbalanced cost-efficiency-result, an evaluation model of 3D digitization has been designed by the Palace Museum, namely comprehensive “cost-efficiency-result” evaluation model. By adding a QR code control device for close range photogrammetry of cultural relics the high digitization cost, low digitization efficiency and inconsistent data quality are solved. Based on the specific needs of preservation and utilization, different grades are specified for 3D data of cultural relics, and a three-layer hierarchical structure and storage scheme is designed in this paper, which solves data inconsistence and difficult data sharing. The above methods have been widely used in the digitization project of the Palace Museum, and the related studies and practices also provide reference for the further development of national 3D digitization standards.

abstract:
Abstract – with a collection of more than a million works and an early start in informatization, the Palace Museum manages a large number of cultural artifacts and digital assets. At present, the Palace Museum is committed to improving the active management of its digital content. In particular, the Museum aims to strengthen the long-term preservation of digital content to meet the preservation and utilization challenges brought about by the phenomenal growth of its digital content. This paper analyzes the top-level design, implementation, and evaluation of the Palace Museum's one-stop online digital platform through the concept of data curation and the DCC curation lifecycle model. The analysis discusses the positive role that digital curation plays in practice for digital content production, preservation, and service and provides a reference point for other museums.

abstract:
This paper presents the Minimum Preservation Tool (MPT), designed and developed by the British Library to provide a basic technical digital preservation service for collections awaiting ingest to a more formal digital preservation repository. The MPT can satisfy fundamental preservation storage requirements that are not typically otherwise supported in a standard corporate technical environment more focused on cyber-security. Replication, checksum generation and validation, and regular reporting are all key features of the MPT, written as a set of Python Utilities and freely available on Github. MPT is an entry-level tool that lowers the bar for early participation in preservation endeavors, in contrast with larger scale and more expensive, complex end-to-end technical solutions.

I.	INTRODUCTION 
The PERSIST Content Task Force under the Preservation Subcommittee of the UNESCO Memory of the World Program would like to offer a workshop to participants at the iPres conference to be held in October 2021, titled: “Guidelines for the Selection of Digital Heritage for Long-Term Preservation: What, why, when.” The Workshop would be based on the 2nd edition of the UNESCO Guidelines for the Selection of Digital Heritage for Long-term Preservation. This edition will be officially launched during the 2nd Memory of the World Global Policy Forum to be held in Paris on 21-22 September 2021. 
This one-hour workshop would be geared to an audience of practitioners of digital preservation.  The workshop would introduce the Guidelines, elaborate on key points made in the Guidelines, and provide opportunity to exchange questions and answers. The workshop would be informal, allowing for active interchange among the workshop participants and the workshop leader.
II.	OBJECTIVE
The workshop’s objective is to provide guidance and advice to participants about the appropriate digital resources that should be preserved by cultural and memory institutions for long-term access. 
III.	BACKGROUND AND RELEVANCE 
The origin of these Guidelines was the very successful UNESCO Memory of the World conference held in 2012 in Vancouver Canada gathering over 600 global participants from cultural institutions, governments and the information industry to discuss digital information, its safekeeping, and continued access to these digital resources [link]. One of the conclusions of the conference was that there was a lack of information and guidance on what digital items should be kept for posterity, given the fact that the volume of digital information was almost incalculable. And since 2012, that number has multiplied many times over. Some selection of digital resources would be needed in order to keep the task manageable.
Therefore, a Content Task Force, consisting of members from UNESCO, The International Council on Archives (ICA) and led by IFLA was created to develop guidelines to assist practitioners and decision makers in making informed decisions about what digital resources should/must be kept for long term access.
The result was the publication “Guidelines for the selection of digital heritage for long-term access” which was launched in 2016 and widely used for training and advocacy purposes around the world.
Five years is a long time in the digital ecosystem, and it was felt necessary to bring the Guidelines up to date, especially to add some of the newer forms of digital resources widely available. ICA, The International Council of Museums (ICOM) and IFLA representatives as well as other experts worked for the past 18 months, in a virtual way, to develop the second edition of the Guidelines. This publication will be officially launched in September 2021.
Therefore, the timing is perfect to bring this publication to the attention of practitioners and decision makers dealing with the challenges of preserving digital information at this iPres conference. This workshop would fit under Sub-theme 4: Building the Capacity.

abstract:
Community Owned digital Preservation Tool Registry (COPTR) was developed in 2013 to provide efficient “one stop shopping” for practitioners performing research on digital preservation tools and services. It contains information on over 500 tools and since 2021 has been equipped with semantic MediaWiki capabilities. This makes a large part of the information within the registry machine-readable and possible to query by API. It opens new possibilities for creating tool overviews and allowing users to find comparisons that will be useful to them. It also makes new integrations possible for projects, which are based on data harvested from COPTR.

COPTR Edit-A-Thon during iPRES2021 invites the international digital preservation community to come together in a common effort to enrich the data in COPTR, explore the possibilities of the recently added semantic annotation, and discuss the future of the registry. It will combine hands-on editing, group discussions, and brainstorms conducted in a hybrid manner. With this edit-a-thon we aim to develop new/improved entries, new ideas for making the most of the new functionality, and new items to add to the “to do” list for future improvements. This event is for everyone interested in tools and workflows for digital preservation and does not require any specialized knowledge.

abstract:
Collection information is one of the important resources that has long-term preservation value to museums. The paper proposes a domain ontology centered on ancient Chinese artifacts, aiming to help any organizations or individuals who own ancient Chinese artifacts collection better organize and manage their collection information, furthermore, improve collection search experience so that users can retrieve objects in the collection more easily and efficiently to ensure the availability of information as the digital object. The paper elaborates the creation process of “Ancient Chinese Artifacts Conceptual Reference Model” (ACACRM), summarizing and sharing practical experience for providing reference for museums with similar needs and application scenarios.

When Digital Remembers Analogue - Conservation Metadata for Analogue Film as Preservation Description Information in a Digital Archive

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/when-digital-remembers-analogue-conservation-metadata-for-analog/

abstract:
While ""Digitization is not Digital Preservation"", the two processes are often closely connected. This is especially true for audiovisual (AV), where the analogue materials, much like their digital counterparts, come in a variety of formats and are only accessible via rendering equipment such as projectors. This indirect accessibility of analogue audiovisual makes autopsy a resource-intensive process. Nevertheless, it's a necessary process prior to digitization, as the digital objects' quality depends on the quality of its analogue source material. But is analogue conservation data helpful in the preservation process of the digital object as well? Can it be used as Preservation Description Information in the OAIS sense?
TIB, the German National Library of Science and Technology, has authored a Conservation Metadata Schema for Analogue Film as part of the large digitization and digital preservation project DELFT. The schema includes metadata which TIB considers important knowledge for the contextualization and interpretation of the digital AV object. This paper outlines motivation and background for this development, discusses the connection of analogue and digital in an overarching analogue conservation and digital preservation workflow and gives a detailed insight into the TIB Conservation Metadata Schema.

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/trans-pe-ar-man-ent-engage-virtualization-as-a-preservation-stra/

abstract:
Abstract – this paper briefly describes the establishment of a digital archival infrastructure to preserve one artwork from the late 90’s and a complete artist archive. Within those digital preservation processes an accessible, transparent and sustainable infrastructure will be designed, implemented and evaluated, fitting the existing collection management structure.  The most critical point is building a system relying on open source software in an institutional environment without dedicated knowledge and experience.  While building, testing and integrating the Linux working station to virtualize and transform those artworks it  is confirmed that this is an efficient method to built transparent institutional capacities and capabilities.

The Italian Guidelines on Creation, Management and Preservation of digital records. A proposed Methodology for File Formats Assessment

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/the-italian-guidelines-on-creation-management-and-preservation-o/

abstract:
This paper aims to address the issue of file formats assessment for the preservation of digital records, which is fundamental because the chances of preserving records produced in these formats over time depend greatly on it. In particular, the paper presents and discusses the methodology proposed by the Italian Agency for Digital Government who recently published the “Guidelines on the Creation, Management and Preservation of Digital Records”. This methodology is based on a quantitative method that evaluates some properties of file formats and assigns them a score; the sum of these scores is the so-called “interoperability index” that provides useful information in order to establish whether the format is prone to obsolescence or not. The methodology is explained with examples that show its potential. Some suggestions for improvement and further developments are then discussed.

National Digital Preservation Program is built as a public service of, by, and for the national library community, and a trustworthy partner in the chain of digital scholarly communications. Its inherent collaboration is built on three layers: a national collaborative commitment by the library community and the government enforced by community auditing and certification, a multi-stakeholder contractual participation in the preservation of targeted resources, and a cooperative network of qualified archiving nodes from and answering to the communities, together with reliable partnerships with international publishers. By designing collaboration into the operation of the service, it has achieved a powerful, robust, trusted, and sustainable digital preservation service for the Chinese library community

This short paper reflects on the past 25 years of the Archaeology Data Service (ADS), a digital repository for UK heritage data.  The paper focusses on the benefits of the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) Rapid Assessment Model (RAM).  Experience of using the RAM has complimented the strengths of accreditation and has done much to focus on capacity and capability. It has also helped highlight successes that may otherwise be overlooked. For a smaller organization, these successes may not be intrinsically measurable in terms of bytes and processes, or the capacity to build a complex infrastructure, but simply demonstrating the reuse of the data so forensically preserved and the individuals that ensure that it matters.

abstract:
Since 2019, four groups have been created within the French association “Aristote”, including members of National Library & Archives and several Ministries. 

These four groups are working on these subjects: 

1. Digital Formats knowledge: in all our institutions we must deal with many different formats, it was necessary to share our experience, help each other, and propose tools to help the French digital preservation community to think about the development of format preservation strategies.

2. Translation: because most of the documentation about digital preservation is not available in French.

3. Expertise: it's necessary to identify and share our experts’ knowledge on file formats between institutions because of the lack of human resources in the digital preservation domain.

4. Tools: many tools are available, and we can offer a national guidance through our experimentations.

In conclusion, the creation of these groups has set up new ways to improve our National digital preservation strategy.

The poster is made with BDNF (https://bdnf.bnf.fr/), a free application from the French national Library, it was created to use digital objects and images available in Gallica, the French digital national library online (https://gallica.bnf.fr).

abstract:
Long-term readability of electronic data is a key regulatory requirement for archived data integrity in life sciences and pharmaceutical research. However, this has been difficult to achieve within current data and software preservation practice due to data dependence on specialty software which becomes unusable as a result of rapid obsolescence of hardware and operating systems.  This paper introduces a novel Executable Archive framework that extends traditional data archives with a platform for hosting legacy software and with processes for installing, use, and long-term maintenance of the software. Through a case study of a scientific software de-commissioning, we demonstrate the use of the framework for designing a solution for GLP-compliant software transition from operational to archival use and a secure processing of raw archived data to reconstruct past research studies. The framework is flexible and opens up opportunities for preservation planning and action that consider both data access and software management together, ensuring that the archived data integrity is fully supported by the long-term software integrity.

abstract:
Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, a world cultural heritage originally built in the 4th century, has now 735 remaining grottoes. Since the 1990s, Dunhuang Academy has taken the lead in digitizing the architectural forms, statues and murals of the grottoes through non-contact data collection and optical measurement technology, so that Dunhuang resources can be fully protected digitally. Based on that, through “digital Dunhuang”, numerous images, videos, three-dimensional digital objects, research documents and archaeological information are collected to build a digital, integrated, large-scale mural resource library and a sharing guarantee system for Dunhuang digital resources, to further link with relevant international resources and support knowledge mining and intelligent services.

abstract:
Scholars rely upon ongoing access to the published research in their fields. For journals to disappear is to harm the ability of scholars to conduct their work. Recent research has indicated that journals published by the long tail of smaller publishers may be especially at risk for disappearing from the Web. Five leading organizations are collaborating to significantly improve the number of Open Access journals that are being preserved for the long-term, in a project named “Journals Preserved Forever” (nicknamed “JASPER”).

abstract:
The Hesburgh Libraries and Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame were awarded a 3-year grant that provided funding for a unified, cross-institutional discovery and exhibition platform that promotes serendipitous discovery of digitized cultural heritage materials. Although many digital preservation concerns were outside the scope of the grant, one beneficial output of the project has been renewed discussion and interest around robust digital preservation implementations appropriate for each institutions’ specific needs. From derivative access copies to preservation TIFF images, the lightweight technical solution was designed to meet the discovery needs of the grant partners and also leave room to connect the project with future digital preservation systems and infrastructure. In this paper, we will discuss how our efforts to bring together different types of cultural heritage materials was also informed by an opportunity to consider digital preservation needs. We will describe the flexible, human-centered workflows that the team developed to prioritize education and collaboration, while leaving space for future preservation initiatives. This case study will provide concrete examples of how to bring workflows from disparate library, archive, and museum (LAM) units into harmony while being sensitive to both current, local practices as well as perceived future needs.

abstract:
As cultural heritage organizations seek solutions, open source, community-based, and commercial digital preservation systems and tools have proliferated. Nevertheless, given the magnitude of digital content and the requirements of specific file formats, institutions struggle to integrate disparate tools and systems to support their institutional preservation programs. The purpose of the panel discussion is to provide insights from on-the-ground implementations of current preservation tools and to consider the opportunities and challenges in deploying and integrating these tools with local digital content management processes.

abstract:
File format identification is a necessary step for the effective digital preservation of records. It allows appropriate actions to be taken for the curation and access of file types. The National Archives has existing processes
for dealing with binary file format types, using tools such as PRONOM and DROID. These methods rely on using header information (metadata) and consistent binary
sequences. However, these are not appropriate for the identification of text le formats as these do not contain recognisable header information or consistent patterns. Most text formats can be opened as plain text files, however
file type information is often needed to understand the files use and context. Automated methods are necessary for text file format identification due to the scale of digital records processed by The National Archives, UK. An Artificial Intelligence methodology was tested and implemented using representative data collected from the GitHub repositories of UK Government departments. The
first prototype developed has achieved reasonably good performance in successfully detecting five file formats with similar characteristics. The  results encourage us to carry out additional experiments to include further text file format types.

abstract:
In 2019 the Library of Congress launched the Digital Collections Management Compendium (DCMC). This publicly available resource establishes and communicates institutional digital collections management policy. A core function of the DCMC is to articulate the connections between broader digital collections management policy and that of planning resources produced and/or consulted by Library staff. This paper provides information regarding the development of the DCMC and its key features, and supports use of the DCMC as a public resource. We intend this paper to be of use to others working on organization-wide digital collections management initiatives. More broadly, the paper contributes to the discussion on how work around digital collections policy and planning connects with practice.

The Design of Collaborative Marking Mode for Museum Collections-Taking "gugong minghuaji" as an example

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/the-design-of-collaborative-marking-mode-for-museum-collections/

abstract:
Collaborative tagging is a way of information collection after the popularity of the Internet. Digital resource preservation and management organizations are very interested in this way, and have done a lot of research. However, this method is affected by the uneven level of information providers, the difficulty in confirming the accuracy of information, and the risk of unverified information exposure on the platform. In this paper, we will design a collaborative tagging model, which uses the content of user's spontaneous tagging as the basis, through the three stages of self-use tag, collective tag audit and public tag, to supplement the collection information and improve the efficiency of digital resource retrieval.

Our department collects vast chunks of assorted data from legacy servers left over after teams disband and/or studios close. In most cases the domain experts that created that data and knew how to use it moved on resulting in a loss of the knowledge needed to make sense of it. Our solution to this issue was to train an AI model that could help identify and classify this data and subsequently feed the output to our catalog application. 

Our demonstration would show how our model was trained, how it carries out predictions, and how well it performs on those predictions. To illustrate performance we will present confusion matrices, F1 scores, and precision-recall graphs. We will also outline future plans regarding model improvements and uses.

abstract:
Digital information often relies on the interactions of multiple individual digital files, rather than being completely encapsulated in a single file. Where this happens, all necessary files should be considered to be part of the same Multi-Part digital object. This paper describes a data model for describing the format of such digital objects, or more specifically, the Multi-Part Representations of such objects. As with the identification of file formats, having a Representation Format like this enables us to determine which tools to use to undertake particular preservation actions for a Representation.

abstract:
Abstract: The European Commission supported ARCHIVER project (Archiving and Preservation for Research Environments) aims to “introduce significant improvements in the area of archiving and digital preservation services, supporting the IT requirements of European scientists and providing end-to-end archival and preservation services, cost-effective for data generated in the petabyte range with high, sustained ingest rates, in the context of scientific research projects”.  This paper presents a software solution developed by Arkivum to meet the needs of long-term digital preservation of scientific datasets in ARCHIVER.  We present and discuss how this solution is scalable (able to process and store very large volumes of research data) and sustainable (both economically and environmentally). This is achieved through a combination of serverless computing, deployment on hyperscale infrastructure, and implementation of configurable ‘Minimum Effort Ingest’ workflows.  In particular, we show how high-performance and scalable Long Term Digital Preservation (LTDP) of very-large datasets can be done in a way that is entirely compatible with high levels of cost-efficiency and minimized environmental impact.

DIGITAL PRESERVATION STORAGE CRITERIA AND RELEVANT STANDARDS - Latest Development on the Digital Preservation Storage Criteria

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/digital-preservation-storage-criteria-and-relevant-standards-lat/

abstract:
This poster provides the latest updates on the Digital Preservation Storage Criteria. These Criteria are intended to help with developing requirements and evaluations of preservation storage solutions, to seed discussions about preservation storage, and/or to use as digital preservation instructional material. The Criteria are grouped into categories including content integrity, cost considerations, flexibility, information security, resilience, scalability & performance, support, and transparency. The working group created an accompanying usage guide covering risk management, independence, elements in establishing bit safety, and cost considerations as related to the Criteria, with new topics to be added in the next version. This year, the working group mapped each criterion to international standards that are relevant to Digital Preservation Storage such as ISO 16363 Audit and Certification of Trustworthy Digital Repositories and the ISO 27000 Information Security series. The aim of this poster is to discuss the mapping that was done between the criteria and these standards, as well as the proposed changes to the criteria and the associated usage guide as a result.

https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/from-capture-to-replay-web-archiving-with-webrecorder-tools/

abstract:
Web archiving can take many forms, but usually involves fully capturing websites, storing the captured content, and faithly reproducing, or replaying the archived sites. Since the web at its core consists of HTTP requests and responses, this process is often done at the HTTP traffic level to ensure full fidelity.

Traditionally, as pioneered by the Internet Archive and others, capture has been done by a web crawler which would automatically ‘crawl’ sites by making HTTP requests and discovering new links.

Another approach is to capture content through the web browser itself, capturing content right before it gets to the browser (or even right after). This type of web archiving can be done by using the suite of open source tools to capture interactive websites and replay them at a later time as accurately as possible on one’s own computer. 

Webrecorder project builds tools that specialize in a ‘user-driven’ form of web archiving, where the user is able to direct the archiving process through their browser. The goal of Webrecorder has been to build quality open source tools to enable ‘web archiving for all’ to allow anyone with a browser to create their own web archives, and to accurately replay them at a later time.

Webrecorder project intends to support the creation of lots of small, decentralized archives by individuals and institutions. Rather than supporting a single centralized silo, a key goal remains to support web archives in a variety of environment and storage scenarios. From users’ personal laptops, to google drive, to IPFS, Webrecorder tools will be designed to support creating and accessing web archives wherever they may be found.

Through this workshop participants will gain a working knowledge on how web archiving works by using a simple web archiving process from capture to replay on a user’s local computer by using two open-source tools from Webrecorder: archiveweb.page and replayweb.page. 

Archiveweb.page is an open-source web archiving capture tool that turns your browser into a full-featured interactive web archiving system. It is available as an extension for any Chrome or Chromium based browsers and as a standalone app. 

Replayweb.page is an open-source browser-based viewer that loads web archive files provided by the user and renders them for replay in the browser. It functions as a serverless (client-side) web archive replay tool.

Both these tools combined create high-fidelity web archives using a basic workflow from capture to replay that participants can control, save, and embed onto other platforms. All the code can be viewed and accessed via the Webrecorder github: http://github.com/webrecorder/

Attendees will benefit from this workshop by gaining the ability to create high fidelity captures to make collections that they’ll have full autonomy over and can manage on their own devices and services. This session includes step-by-step installation help for both archiveweb.page and replayweb.page from the Webrecorder team. There will be a tutorial on how to analyze the website before capturing pages as well as breakdown to better understand components of the practice of web archiving and explore how they can fit into existing and emerging digital preservation workflows.

The target audience members for this type of workshop include: researchers, archivists, librarians, other practitioners working with digital materials, and developers. No prior experience with web archiving will be required of attendees.

abstract:
This paper presents findings from a multi-method study in archiving, accessing, and preserving 3D data. Specifically, we seek to develop a reusable and robust model for preserving and accessing 3D data. We further seek to identify links between digital triage, preservation actions, and archiving in multiple disciplines in order to make recommendations to embed data stewardship processes in research ecosystems. This work happens through interdisciplinary collaboration to validate curation practices across fields and disciplines.

Numerous disciplines and sectors are producing 3D data for research and instruction, but without the guidance of published standards or practices generalizable across fields. This paper will present our findings from identifying researcher needs, preservation and access requirements, and metadata models for our 3D models of specimens from the Virginia Tech Entomology Department. Our outcomes are an evaluation of the output using quantitative and qualitative methods, a working 3D metadata schema for access and preservation, and an access platform for our 3D models.

abstract:
We report progress towards automatically transforming existing analyses of scientific literature into annotations based on W3C's Web Annotation Data Model (WADM). Case studies are presented from the life sciences, and social sciences and humanities, in which these developments have led to the creation of new unrestricted data services for the research community. We discuss the cross- domain potential of annotation infrastructure for releasing scientific facts reported in research literature from copyright restrictions, and demonstrate the utility of common standards-based preservation and discovery methods in disparate activities. We suggest that scientific treatments of literature using WADM annotation can lead to new mechanisms for access to and reuse of research data, and accelerate convergence with the FAIR Principles.

UNESCO Memory of the World Programme (MoW) and its Preservation Sub-Committee are concerned with the long term and sustained access to the World’s documentary heritage, including digital. They are keen to engage with the digital preservation professionals around the world, to gather the requirements for effective international policies to support digital preservation actions and, more importantly, work towards reliable access to the world’s documentary heritage, now and in the far future. The past two decades have seen unprecedented increase in publishing, documenting, and communicating in the digital form, giving rise to a wealth of knowledge, insights and experiences. Digital information is becoming critical for education, skill building and participation in the global digital economy. This panel is organized by the UNESCO Preservation Sub-Committee to discuss the critical technological, policy and sustainability factors in providing effective access to the World’s digital documentary heritage.

abstract:
Preservation pipelines demonstrate extended value when digitized content is also computation-ready. Expanding this to historical controlled vocabularies requires additional steps if they are to be fully leveraged for research. This paper reports on work addressing this challenge. We report on a pipeline and project progress addressing three key goals: 1) transforming the 1910 Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) to the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) linked data standard, 2) implementing persistent identifiers (PIDs) and launching our prototype ARK resolver, and 3) importing the 1910 LCSH into the Helping Interdisciplinary Vocabulary Engineering (HIVE) System to support automatic metadata generation and scholarly analysis of the historical record. The discussion considers the implications of our work in the broader context of preservation, and the conclusion summarizes our work and identifies next steps.

computer era is a precious part of our cultural heritage, and needs to be
properly rescued, curated, archived and made available to present and future
generations. In this article, we present the Software Heritage Acquisition
Process, that has been designed to provide detailed guidelines on how to
perform this important task, preserving important historical information.

This process has been validated extensively on several important pieces
of software source code of historical relevance in the University of Pisa,
in collaboration with UNESCO, and is open to all for adoption and improvement.

DEPENDENCE RESCISSION AND SEMANTIC INTERPRETATION: KEY STRATEGIES TO LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF DIGITAL ARCHIVES

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2021/papers/dependence-rescission-and-semantic-interpretation-key-strategies/

abstract:
There are three states of archival objects and their corresponding management measures. Clarifying the continuity or discreteness of signals and semantics of three states is very important in preservation. For objects at digital state, low-order logic dependencies with software and hardware dependencies as the core need to be removed. And for objects at data state, high-order logic dependencies with semantic associations as the core need to be removed.

abstract:
Members of the digital preservation community collate and cap-ture metadata to describe file formats, software, operating systemsand hardware, and use it to inform and drive digital preservationprocesses. In this work we describe how the infrastructure ofWikidata meets the requirements for a technical registry of meta-data related to computer software and computing environments.Collaboratively creating this metadata, and making it available aslinked open data, will reduce the amount of redundant work digitalpreservation professionals do in order to describe resources. Hav-ing machine-readable, linked open data that describes the digitalpreservation domain will also allow us to reuse this data in our soft-ware applications and information systems, reducing the overheadwhen building new tools. Furthermore the Wikidata social andtechnical infrastructure will enable the long term continued accessto the data digital preservation practitioners collate and capture.Wikidata is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), andis created through commons-based peer production [3]. Simplyput, Wikidata is a knowledge base of structured data that anyonecan edit [40]. The infrastructure of Wikidata is created using freesoftware, and is designated to the public domain. All content inWikidata is licensed so that other may freely reuse the data. Vol-unteer editors, coordinating their own work, add data to Wikidata.Through this analysis we demonstrate how the infrastructure ofWikidata provides distinct advantages to the cultural heritage do-main that proprietary knowledge bases do not provide.

abstract:
This paper aims to explain how the National Library of France(BnF) faced the question of the information lifecycle, during theimplementation of its digital preservation system, in the light ofthe experience it acquired managing and using this system, froma theoretical approach following the OAIS reference model to animplementation. It was understood very early that from a preser-vation point of view the management of subsequent Versions andEditions of an Information Package was a particularly sensitiveproblem akin to risks management. However it was thought at thetime that the system should be able to manage the lifecycle of anAIP (Archival Information Package) in a universal way that wouldbe valid whatever the package considered and the context. Theseideas quickly proved to be impractical and didn’t resist the testof reality. Some improvements were provided, while taking intoaccount the rest of the digital ecosystem of the BnF.

abstract:
This paper proposes steps towards a roadmap for improving the integration of two communities that deal with persistence and long-term stewardship of digital content. They are Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) and Digital Preservation. Both disciplines have made significant progress and practical contributions. Yet their approaches are not fully linked and there is considerable potential to integrate their solution space and to improve either of them by learning from the other. It addresses three core issues:
1. How does the long-term digital object life-cycle affect PIDs, the entities they identify, and the metadata that describes them?
2. How can PIDs help long-term preservation?
3. How can long-term preservation help to shape PID best practice and ensure long-term access to the scholarly record?
We also sketch out initial results of our ongoing work along this roadmap.

abstract:
Software is transient: it’s the data that matter. Anyone who works with software understands that applications come and go, and even those that last many years go through numerous upgrades and re-architectures as they try to keep up with the latest technological advances. This flux creates a problem: how do we efficiently move our data through changing software and version upgrades as losslessly as possible? The Fedora community recently confronted this problem, which led to the development of a tool that could have broad utility for data migrations.
Fedora is a flexible, extensible, open source repository platform for managing, preserving, and providing access to digital content. Fedora has gone through several major version upgrades since its initial conception almost 20 years ago, most recently with the move to Fedora 4. Fedora 4 is a complete software re-architecture, which necessitates a data migration from previous versions of Fedora. This experience led the Fedora community to focus on making it as easy as possible to get data into and out of Fedora in standard formats, an effort that culminated in the creation of an import/export utility that standardizes on RDF and the BagIt specification to transfer data between versions of Fedora as well as external preservation systems. This effort coincides with a recently chartered Research Data Alliance working group with a mandate to explore technologies and standards for interoperability between repository platforms and make recommendations on this topic. The group is exploring the Fedora import/export utility as a possible basis for broader interoperability between diverse repository platforms by building on this standard import/export functionality. This paper will provide an overview of the import/export efforts that have taken place so far, and discuss how we might achieve broader interoperability and ease data migrations through the work of the RDA Research Data Repository Interoperability working group.

title:
A Dutch approach in constructing a network of nationwide facilities for digital preservation together

https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2017/papers/a-dutch-approach-in-constructing-a-network-of-nationwide-facilit/

abstract:
Cross-domain collaboration lies at the heart of approach of the Dutch Coalition for Digital Preservation (NCDD) [1]. Sharing re- sponsibilities, knowledge and infrastructures is an absolute neces- sity for the realisation of high-quality, effective and efficient digital archive- and information management.
In November 2016, the NCDD research on the construction of a cross-domain network of facilities for long-term access to digital Cultural Heritage in the Netherlands was rewarded the Digital Preservation Award 2016 in the category Research and Innovation [2]. According to the judges the research report presents an out- standing model to help memory institutes to share facilities and create a distributed, nationwide infrastructure network for Digital Preservation.
This model describes a network of collaborative facilities as a back bone for sharing facilities within the Netherlands. It describes all the elements of an infrastructure for digital preservation. Not only the technical parts of it, but also its organisational, legal and finan- cial parts. Describing them as elements, building-blocks, helps us to understand them and to get a better picture of what is already available on the one hand, and the demand on the other hand. One should notice that this model is based on the most desirable infra- structure. It describes the broad picture and enables us to create a roadmap towards the desirable situation. As always, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. This paper describes the theory behind the model and the steps to put the model into practice in an opera- tional sense.

abstract:
Video games, as an evolving medium, present specific challenges to preservation, and with the introduction of newer technologies, these difficulties are ever increasing. Augmented Reality Games (ARGs) present challenges unique to the technologies implemented within them, blending the physical world with the virtual world, the socializing factors embedded in play, and the increasingly network-distributed nature of their content. We examine two popular ARGs, Ingress and Pokémon GO, as case studies and illustrate the additional challenges ARGs bring to preserving video games. Boundaries in ARGs question the traditional understanding of gameplay, while preserving changes in virtual and physical space present challenges to ARG representativeness and authenticity. Metaplay illustrates behavior based on non-deterministic situations, often as a result of real world changes. We also review different approaches suggested in prior literature for preserving video games, focusing on preserving the context and history of the game by collecting relevant artifacts and documentation, and explain why implementing these approaches could be challenging for ARGs.

abstract:
The emulation of obsolete hardware and software environments to enable information to be read, and to facilitate interaction in a way that simulates the original user experience, is a well- established part of digital preservation solutions. Excellent tools have been developed to work with emulators, but these have remained in the research domain rather than being able to be exploited at scale. This paper explores a real example of how an emulation framework has been added to existing digital preservation infrastructure. This integration has enabled information has been extracted from obsolete hardware, held in a digital preservation system at Yale University Library (YUL), and linked to an appropriate emulator (provided by the University of Freiburg’s Emulation as a Service framework). All of this enables YUL to recreate the user experience of interacting with content using the original software quickly and easily whenever a user requests it. This integration offers the prospect of large scale emulation as a service linked to real preserved data that is in need of this approach and this paper will examine the next steps needed to make this a reality.

abstract:
We introduce an open-source pre-ingest tool that assists the generation of Submission Information Packages (SIPs) that are to be submitted to the national digital preservation service in Finland. The pre-ingest tool consists of several independent components that produce the parts of a METS document required by the national preservation service. These components are easy to modify when developing services for different user demands or for different repositories. Users of the tool provide the necessary information as parameters for the tool, which produces the structure and descriptions for the SIP. The pre-ingest tool reduces the need to deeply understand either METS, PREMIS or other metadata formats to be able to preserve digital assets.

abstract:
The field of digital archiving is situated in a tenuous position between the archives and information technology, where the humanity of archival labor is often erased on one side and that of users may be ill-considered on the other. To that end, the quality of technical documentation is paramount to the success of digital archiving efforts, but it often falls victim to a lack of empathy for practitioners, users of our tools and collections, and those represented in the archives. This paper aims to provide initial community suggestions for creating better, more useful documentation built around the concept of empathy.

Preservation as a Service for Trust: An InterPARES Trust Specification for Preserving Authentic Records in the Cloud

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2017/papers/preservation-as-a-service-for-trust-an-interpares-trust-specific/

abstract:
Questions regarding trust and authenticity of records stored in the Cloud, as well as the custodial obligations and storage management provided by the service provider of Internet-based records have yet to be resolved; but the adoption of Cloud-based technologies is not waiting for legislation or standards to resolve these issues. Therefore, there is an existing need clearly articulated requirements that provide effective, tested methods for documenting and maintaining the authenticity of records that are removed from creator’s systems and placed into the custody and control of Cloud Service Providers. To address this need, Preservation as a Service for Trust (PaaST), part of the InterPARES Trust research project, is modelling a suite of preservation services that detail specific actions and attributes that capture, create or document metadata and activities that provide supporting evidence of the authenticity of records entrusted to the Cloud Service Providers.

abstract:
The Library of Congress has many millions of objects it has either digitized or acquired in born-digital formats. The first priority is to preserve, process, and provide access to digital collections via loc.gov. Most of these collections are free and available to anyone around the world, and their existence online represent the culmination of a huge amount of time, effort, and expertise. The Library of Congress has embarked upon an effort to maximize the use of our digital collections, promote innovation at the institution, and grow national capacity for cultural memory. This paper will describe how developing and executing a program around promoting collections as data has enabled the expansion of internal and external partners, deepened the exploration and value proposition of digital collections, engaged a broader community, and provided new skills to librarians who are working with collections as data. The programs that will be outlined will include the development of a digital scholarship lab which seeks to provide support for computational engagement with collections, testing different training models for digital skill building, and launching Innovator-in-Residence programs that showcase how data analysis techniques can change digital scholarship and digital curation landscapes. These partnerships and pilot projects build on the digitization and preservation efforts of the Library by broadening the scope of engagement and providing compelling use cases that amplify the impact of digital collections.

abstract:
The project Research Data Management Organiser (RDMO)1 develops a tool to support the planning, implementation and organisation of research data management. The multilingual open source tool can be installed locally and adapted to institutional or discipline-specific needs with regards to contents. It provides interfaces to institutional authentication procedures. Key features of the first version, released in April 2017, include: the ability to continuously update and augment the information in the course of a project; access for different stakeholders, such as researchers, project coordinators, the IT department, data managers etc., with customized views; export formats for different purposes including data management plans (DMPs) according to funder requirements.
Planned future developments include, among other things, features to support actual data management, e.g. tasks (with deadlines and a reminder functionality) that can be linked with dedicated stakeholder responsibilities.

Semi-automated Generation of Linked Data from Unstructured Bibliographic Data for Japanese Historical Rare Books

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2017/papers/semi-automated-generation-of-linked-data-from-unstructured-bibli/

abstract:
A large number of bibliographic data and images of Japanese historical rare books have been published on the Web. For constructing structured bibliographic data, such as in a format of Linked Data, the data providers need to extract structured information from notes of the bibliography, which are written in Japanese natural texts with domain-specific terms. These jobs have been usually performed by persons with special knowledge. In this paper, the authors propose a semi-automated method to convert natural texts in real bibliographic data into Linked Data. As a part of the method, a simple ontology of key elements (named entities) in bibliographic data is constructed along general bibliographic rules for historical heritage. The ontology also has a capability to describe relations between a book and its parts. This allows mechanical access to information such as a creator of a cover picture, preface and so on. Finally, a script creates connections from named entities to URIs which describe headings or glossaries provided online by public organizations.

Designing and implementing a digital preservation training needs assessment: Findings from the Bodleian Libraries’ institutional repository

url:
https://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2017/papers/designing-and-implementing-a-digital-preservation-training-needs/

abstract:
This paper describes the design and pilot of a digital preservation training needs assessment at Bodleian Libraries (University of Oxford). The assessment was designed to establish training needs among staff, with the purpose of creating targeted digital preser- vation training based on gaps identified. Measurements for the assessment were developed around the DigCurV [7] Framework skill descriptors combined with a literature review of other skills frameworks. The measurements were developed into a set of inter- view questions, which was piloted on nine members of staff from the Oxford University Research Archive (ORA) in the winter of 2016. Findings from the assessment have influenced the design of training modules which frame digital preservation concepts around workflows in the ORA digital repository. The modules take as their starting point the awareness level, knowledge, practical skills, problem solving approaches and preferred learning style of staff within the ORA team.
