Climbing Mt. Preservation:Architectures and Standards Environmentsfor PREMIS Chris Blackall, APSR Long-term Repositories, NLA 2006
Overview • Digital sustainability/preservation concerns • Overview of the PREMIS landscape • Climbing Mt. Preservation: a guided tour of standards environments through to architectures (with examples) • New service-oriented architectures (and approaches) Long-term Repositories, NLA 2006
Sustainability • Sustainable repositories and preservation • see Kevin Bradley “APSR Sustainability Issues Discussion Paper” January 2005. • http://www.apsr.edu.au/documents/APSR_Sustainability_Issues_Paper.pdf Long-term Repositories, NLA 2006
Focus • Data sustainability • Preservability • Interoperability • Accessibility • Key concept: preservation metadata Long-term Repositories, NLA 2006
The Need for Digital Preservation • Why do we need to do anything to preserve digital information? • The physical technology will change • The data carrier (physical media) • The hardware • The operating environment will change • Rendering software • Operating systems • Supporting software technologies • The format will become obsolete Long-term Repositories, NLA 2006
