How to Choose a Digital Preservation Strategy: Evaluating a Preservation Planning Procedure — by Jan Hutař — last modified 2009-03-09 14:39

An increasing number of institutions throughout the world face legal obligations or business needs to collect and preserve digital objects over several decades. Today, a range of tools exist today to support the variety of preservation strategies such as migration or emulation. Yet, different preservation requirements across institutions and settings make the decision on which solution to implement very difficult.

H.M. Gladney: Economics and Engineering for Preserving Digital Content — by Jan Hutař — last modified 2009-03-09 14:39

Abstract: Progress towards practical long-term preservation seems to be stalled. Preservationists cannot afford specially developed technology, but must exploit what is created for the marketplace. Economic and technical facts suggest that most preservation work should be shifted from repository institutions to information producers and consumers. Prior publications describe solutions for all known conceptual challenges of preserving a single digital object, but do not deal with software development or scaling to large collections. Much of the document handling software needed is available. It has, however, not yet been selected, adapted, integrated, or deployed for digital preservation. The daily tools of both information producers and information consumers can be extended to embed preservation packaging without much burdening these users. We describe a practical strategy for detailed design and implementation. Document handling is intrinsically complicated because of human sensitivity to communication nuances. Our engineering section therefore starts by discussing how project managers can master the many pertinent details.

Image Preservation Through PDF/A — by Jan Hutař — last modified 2009-03-09 14:39

The preservation of image collections is a goal of many libraries and organizations. Among the considerations for long-term preservation is the choice of file format. An emerging file format for preservation is PDF/A, which is a proposed international standard for long-term electronic document preservation. Since this file format can be used for image preservation, there are a number of considerations to be followed for converting image files to PDF/A, and also for ultimately migrating from PDF/A to successor file formats.

The large-scale archival storage of digital objects — by Jan Hutař — last modified 2009-03-09 14:39

Jim Linden, Sean Martin, Richard Masters, and Roderic Parker (The British Library). This report describes the issues surrounding storage technology from the perspective of a digital repository. It covers the British Library’s thinking that led to conclusions about the design of a system for the preservation storage of digital objects, and the specific conclusions about the preservation storage architecture to adopt. The planning figure for the storage required was that it would grow to over 100 terabytes (100 thousand gigabytes, or 100 million megabytes) in 3 years. A multi-site architecture was selected. Each site would provide, amongst other functions, a software layer providing storage services that was independent of the actual physical storage. This physical storage would use commodity storage units from a number of vendors, which could be replaced over time without having to alter any software. The storage initially purchased uses the relatively new Serial ATA standard.

Oya Y. Rieger: Preservation in the Age of Large-Scale Digitization — by Jan Hutař — last modified 2009-03-09 14:39

This paper examines large-scale initiatives to identify issues that will influence the availability and usability, over time, of the digital books that these projects create. As an introduction, the paper describes four key large-scale digitization projects and their digitization strategies. Issues range from the quality of image capture to the commitment and viability of archiving institutions, as well as those institutions’ willingness to collaborate. The paper also attempts to foresee the likely impacts of large-scale digitization on print collections. It offers a set of recommendations for rethinking a preservation strategy. It concludes with a plea for collaboration among cultural institutions. No single library can afford to undertake a project on the scale of Google Book Search; such a library can, however, collaborate with others to address the common challenges that such large projects pose.

Vydána první verze dokumentu Data Seal of Approval — by Jan Hutař — last modified 2009-03-09 14:39

Anyone who archives his or her data also would like them to be found, recognized and still usable in the future. That is not a matter of course with electronic data. After all, hardware and software are changing all the time. Making data future-proof can be accomplished by ensuring that data sets and metadata meet certain guidelines. In consultation with large data producers and managers, DANS laid down what those guidelines need to be in its 'Datakeurmerk', which will continue to be developed further.
