  2. Digital Preservation Digital Preservation Digital archiving at the KB: the e-Depot • Electronic version traditional depository • Developed in collaboration with IBM • Technical heart: DIAS (OAIS-compliant) • Integrated with other library modules • Ingest of online journal articles, e-books, and CD-roms (installables) • Operational since March 17, 2003 • Over 2 million electronic publications processed

  3. Digital Preservation LTP studies 2002 • While building DIAS and the e-Depot, developing Long Term Preservation functionality was not possible yet • KB/IBM Projectgroup to study LTP issues • Six studies presented December 2002 • Memorandum of Understanding with IBM Two projects for 2003 • Preservation Manager • Operational UVC and Preservation Processor • Projects were finished in April 2000

  5. Digital Preservation The Preservation Manager • Storing information on file formats • Control mechanism for changing technologies • Possible interaction with international format registries • Hardware and software specifications are described as layers • Layers are the building blocks for a Preservation Layer Model (PLM) • View Paths are instantiations of PLMs • Every file format is connected to one or more View Paths

  6. Digital Preservation Autonomous Digital Item • TheData Format identifies the structure and meaning of a bit-stream, like a .PDF file • Reference Platform Data Format • The structure and meaning of the bit-stream are defined within the application logic of a specific Viewer Application Viewer Application • The Operating System contains the functionalities that all viewer applications need like access to a printer or scanner, and fundamental requirements like file structure Operating System • The Reference Platform specifies how the bits and bytes are transformed to a physical representation like for example on a screen Requested Information Object

  8. Digital Preservation Planning Permanent Access Strategies: • What do you want to preserve? • Why do you want to preserve? • What do you want to render in the future? KB: Choice for keeping the original

  9. Digital Preservation Consequence of choosing to keep the original: • Limited number of strategies • Emulation is the preferred strategy Emulation: • Never operationalised in a digital archiving environment • Project will start this year, in co-operation with the Dutch National Archives Universal Virtual Computer: • Combination of emulation and migration (on-the-fly) • Joint project with IBM to develop operational UVC • First operational UVC for JPEG

  10. Digital Preservation Universal Virtual Computer (UVC) • Approach developed by Raymond Lorie (IBM) • A specification of a virtual intermediate platform • Simple enough to be implemented on any future platform • A UVC Decoder translates objects into a Logical Data View (XML-like) • A schema explains the Logical Data View to enable future viewing

  11. Archiving phase Delivery phase UVC Specification used to build UVC emulator LDV Viewer UVC Decoder UVC Image <image> <pixel> <red> 236 </red> <green> 102 </green> <blue> 255 </blue> </pixel> Meta data to generate and interpret logical data (LDS) LDV

  12. Digital Preservation An operational UVC for JPEG • UVC for PDF too complicated • To review this strategy we need an operational tool • All the components for a working solution needed • Convert PDF to JPEG • The ‘safety-net’ solution: UVC for images

  13. Digital Preservation DEMO of the UVC for JPEG

  15. Digital Preservation The Preservation Processor • Module for selection and processing of stored digital objects • First: specific for UVC for Jpeg • Select pdf-files • Convert to Jpeg • Re-ingest converted AIP • Plans for generic version: • Selection: objects and/or file formats in e-Depot • Processing: copying to new format if required • Support Permanent Access Strategy • Interface with Ingest and Access

  16. Digital Preservation Future plans • Evaluate the UVC for JPEG with international experts • Extend approach to UVC for TIFF and PDF Conclusions • Permanent Access Tool in place, embedded in operational system • The UVC approach is viable (and can be demonstrated!) • UVC for JPEG is a ‘safety net’ for the KB e-Depot
