title: Demystifying Digital Preservation Risk with CHARM: What, Where, How?
creators: Maureen Pennock
abstract: <p>These slides were produced for an OPF webinar on the CHARM model. The&nbsp;session explored how the nature and complexity of digital preservation risk is demystified through the CHARM toolkit and its deep dive into digital preservation risk.&nbsp;</p>
  <p>The presentation focuses in particular on the detail of the CHARM Reference Model. It introduces CHARM&rsquo;s definition of digital preservation, to demonstrate how this forms the foundations for a&nbsp; conceptual, meaningful and useful definition of the concept of digital preservation risk and associated target values. It then explores how this definition &ndash; and associated models &ndash; were used to establish a landscape, abstract model of risk sources in digital preservation. The presentation also includes an overview of how CHARM concepts, models, and vocabulary can be used in practice to develop secenario-based risk assessments with characterised risk statements.&nbsp;</p>
