  1. Collection and Preservation of At-Risk Digital Geospatial Data NCSU Libraries and NCCGIA National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program

  2. NDIIPP Project Context • Partnership between NCSU Libraries and NC Center for Geographic Information & Analysis • Cooperative Agreement with Library of Congress as part of the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) • Three year project starting Oct. 2004 • $520,000 funding • One of eight projects in the first NDIIPP funding round: “Building a Network of Partners”

  3. Risk to Geospatial Data • Producer focus on current data • Need “permanent access” as well as digital preservation • Future support of data formats in question • Need to migrate formats or allow for emulation • Data failure • “Bit rot”, media failure • Preservation metadata requirements • Descriptive, administrative, technical, DRM • Shift to “streaming data” for access • Impact on development of secondary archives

  4. Sanborn Fire Insurance Map Downtown Raleigh 1903

  5. Land Parcel Boundary Change in North Raleigh 2001-2004

  6. NDIIPP Project “Phases” • Content Selection and Identification • Work from NC OneMap Inventory • Content Acquisition • Leverage NC OneMap data sharing agreements • Partnership Building • Work closely with local/state/federal agencies • Content Retention and Transfer • Digital repository (initially Dspace) • Formulate preservation metadata (using METS) • Digital rights management (DRM)

  7. Project Summary • Identify available data resources through the NC OneMap data inventory • Acquire at-risk digital geospatial data from state, regional, local agencies (and others); build time series • Develop digital repository architecture for geospatial data, using open source software tools such as Dspace • Use METS records as a metadata wrapper for data files, descriptive/technical metadata, DRM, etc. • Investigate use of Open Geospatial Consortium technologies in data identification and capture processes • Development of a model for data archiving and time series development

  10. Key Challenges • Technical • Efficient methods for inventory and acquisition • Formulation of preservation metadata • Format choices • Encoding digital rights information (DRM) • Repository ingest and management • Organizational • Securing agreements for data access and transfer (including to Library of Congress where possible); address concerns about misuse of older data • Promote importance of time series development and long term preservation • Learn from established experience and practice of data custodians
