Academic Preservation Trust Introducing APTrust
In the beginning… How the discussion began
This we believe*… • Explicitly for preservation. Always and forever • Leverage intentional interdependence • Leverage investments that we are making separately • Enables the digital copy to become the copy of record • Ensures the durability and accessibility of the scholarly record for future generations *From Aug 2011 meeting to discuss possibility of a regional repository
Who do we say we are… What is aptrust?
APTrustis… a consortium committed to using a Fedora-based repository to aggregate curated [academic] content as part of a long-term preservation strategy
Added Value we see so far… • Commitment to scalable, long-term preservation • Disaster recovery services • Aggregated content • Community-building
The repository landscape as we see it… Where does Aptrust fit?
Repository Landscape Institutional Repository e.g., ACM e.g., CERN Personal Repository APTrust Repository e.g., SSOAR DisciplineSpecific Institution Researcher

evolving working assumptions… initial working assumptions
Content Assumptions Partner-determined collection strategy IP rights provided by submitters Metadata determines future access Single and aggregate content types Preservation/basic content formats Simple web-based access (off) High barrier to de-accessioning
System Architecture Assumptions Replicate content at two additional sites Replicating node for DPN Regular audits of content Blacklight, SOLR, Fedora, cloudsync, et al Local solutions remain independent
