  1. Digital PreservationProcess or Outcome?orWhat Hath NLNZ Wrought? Joseph Shubitowski (jshubitowski@getty.edu) IGeLU 2008, September 9, 2008

  2. First........A Word of Thanks! • NLNZ are driving force for preservation • Evangelism works! • Made vendors take notice • Hardware and software • Sustainability is key IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008

  3. “Over the past few weeks I have become acutely aware that the term “digital preservation” may be becoming a problem........in the digital domain, we should be selling the outcomes. While we have to use "digital preservation" in appropriate contexts, including technical and other in-house discussions, and digital curation is appropriate in other contexts, terms that reflect the outcomes are more persuasive. So I would argue that outcome-related phrases like "long term accessibility" or "usability over time" are better than the process-oriented phrase "digital preservation". Chris Rusbridge, Digital Curation Blog, July 29, 2008 IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008

  4. Assumptions & Perceptions • Constituencies already depend on library for analog conservation & preservation • Do user communities even perceive a digital preservation crisis? • Usability is key no matter if analog or digital • Keep stuff accessible • Users/public don’t care about the details IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008

  5. Sustainability (Big Picture) • Policies are everything • Assessment and preservation strategies and workflows are all based on policy • Technical solutions complement policy – not shape it • Mandates • Participation in digital preservation programs/workflows cannot be optional IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008

  6. Sustainability (Technology) • Internal • Will you continue to have the funding, staff, and technical resources? • Community based and/or OSS • What will you or your intended solution depend on the community to produce and support? • Vendor supplied/supported • Will my vendor be around to complete and support what we started together? IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008

  7. Dependencies • National and international standards and collaborations • Policies: OAIS, NDIIPP, PLANETS • Metadata: PREMIS, METS • Registries: GDFR, PRONOM • Tools and plug-ins • JHOVE, DROID, NLNZ Indigo, MET, & Web Curator, AONS • Hardware • Disk, tape, content addressable storage, grid solutions • Budget! IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008

  8. Interoperability • Internal platforms • Who makes it all work together? • Community/constituencies • How will standards, tools, registries, etc. continue to develop and converge/diverge? • Trustedness? • Testing and certification – who decides? • Interchangeability of preservation objects? • How will systems and/or institutions agree on authenticity of digital objects IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008

  9. Assurance • How do we know we’re on the right track? • Policy and repository assessment • NARA/OCLC/CRL: TRAC:CC • JISC/DCC: DRAMBORA • National/international programs • EU: DPE, DPC, PLANETS, CASPAR, nestor • USA: NDIIPP, NARA Directives • New Zealand: NDHA • Australia: PADI • Community forums/idea sharing • JISC, DPE, DPC, Library of Congress, NISO, etc. etc. sponsored conferences and forums • iPRES conferences • PASIG and other vendor sponsored groups • Groups like ELUNA and IGeLU IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008

  10. Just my thoughts.......Thanks...... • jshubitowski@getty.edu IGeLU Conference 2008, September 9, 2008
