title: REPRESENTATION OF DIGITAL MATERIAL  PRESERVED IN A LIBRARY CONTEXT
creators: Eld Zierau
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.
