Chiara Cirinnà, Maurizio Lunghi DigitalPreservationEurope: a way forward in the long term curation of digital materials INFuture2009: “Digital Resources and Knowledge Sharing” Zagreb 4-6 November 2009
What is DPE? Coordination Action financed by EC [FP6] 1 April 2006/ 31 March 2009 DigitalPreservationEurope aims at involving all the countries of the Union in the activity of arising awareness, promoting and studying the technical and organisational problems of digital preservation www.digitalpreservationeurope.eu
What is DPE? Two macro objectives: to foster collaboration and synergies among on-going projects and existing initiatives across the ERA [repositories and audit and certification tools] to raise up awareness on digital preservation challenges among different user communities [different level of awareness on the subject and its strategic significance]
What is DPE? Main activities: Advocacy and Outreach Research and Practitioner Integration Audit and Certification Services Training and Continuing Professional Development Co-ordination of EU Repository Activities Preservation Research Roadmap Community building

Competence Centres for digital curation Basic questions: What does ‘competence’ mean? Who is the leader in the sector ? Do I really trust her/him/it ? Does a unique list of competences exist ? What do I expect from such a centre ? Why should I follow its recommendations ?
Competence Centres for digital curation Sources of digital curation and preservation competency analysis of current practices: • Universities • Scientific research community • Ministerial structures • National structures • Industry and the private sector • Healthcare infrastructures • International and professional bodies • Funded projects
Competence Centres for digital curation 7C’S’ BENCHMARKING MODEL 1. Capacity 2. Context 3. Credibility 4. Commitment 5. Certification 6. Competition 7. Communication
Competence Centres for digital curation Five generic models • Distributed centres of expertise and collaborative projects • Single research-led institutions • National libraries, archives or other organisations with preservation expertise • Commercial preservation centres/services • International bodies and professional associations

Planning a Trusted Digital Repository with PLATTER PLATTER Planning Tool for Trusted Electronic Repositories • A basis for a digital repository • to plan the development its goals and performancetargets • over the course of its lifetime PLATTER is not audit or certification tool
PLATTER DRAMBORA TRAC NESTOR What is Trust? Trust is “demonstrated fitness for purpose” I. Trust must be achieved II. Trust must be demonstrated [III. Trust must be maintained]
The components of PLATTER • Repository classification • Strategic Objective Plans (SOPs) • The Platter Planning Cycle
STAGE 1- Classify your repository Four orthogonal axes: Function Operation Scale Implementation
Function Operation Scale Implementation STAGE 1- Classify your repository Purpose & Function Where does your mandate come from? Are you a profit making body? Are you an existing or new organisation?
Function Operation Scale Implementation STAGE 1- Classify your repository Scale How much data do you expect to have? How many staff? How many users?
Function Operation Scale Implementation STAGE 1- Classify your repository Operation How do you acquire the material in your repository? How complex or specialised is it? And what restrictions exist on access?
Function Operation Scale Implementation STAGE 1- Classify your repository Implementation Where does your metadata come from? Do you use in-house or external storage? Is your software supported by contract or by in-house development?
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans Strategic Objective Plans - SOPs • Self-defined objectives • All areas of repository operation • Use the CRL/DCC/DPE/nestor Ten Core Principles as a starting point
The Ten Core Principles • Commitment • Fitness • Rights • Policies • Acquisition • Data Integrity • Metadata • Dissemination • Preservation • Infrastructure
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans SOPs All areas of repository operations: • Business plan • Staffing Plan • Data Plan • Acquisition Plan • Access Plan • Preservation Plan • Technical System Plan • Succession Plan • Disaster Plan
Ten Core Principles Acquires and maintains requisite contractual and legal rights and fulfils responsibilities 3. Rights Acquires and ingests digital objects based upon stated criteria that correspond to its commitments and capabilities 5. Acquisition STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans SOPs All areas of repository operations: • Business plan • Staffing Plan • Data Plan • Acquisition Plan • Access Plan • Preservation Plan • Technical System Plan • Succession Plan • Disaster Plan
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans Goal 2.1: Acquire relevant material Examples: • Archive 90% of national internet • Archive 75% of all articles published in house • Ingest at least 10000 new images per year Discussion: The purpose of this goal is to specify quantitative targets for the material to be acquired by the repository. Specification of the desired material will generally refer back directly to the repository mandate which specifies the type of repository involved – for example an archive, eprint collection, webarchive etc. Further specifying the exact extent/scope of the material to be collected may require extensive analysis – for example, a market analysis to determine what is available, a stakeholder analysis to determine the wishes of depositors and end users, and a cost-benefit analysis to determine economic constraints.
SMART objectives Specific to the given organisation Measurable Assignable Realistic Time-related
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Business Plan • Monitoring financial status • Raising revenue • Marketing and Outreach • Financial contingency planning
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Acquisition Plan • Acquisition of material • Negotiation with depositors • Import data • Monitoring
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Staffing Plan • Staffing roles and responsibilities • Maintaining staffing levels • Maintaining staff skills
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Access Plan • Mission Statement • Designated User-Communities • Access policy • Technical requirements
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Technical Plan – [Scale / Security / Services] • Storage and Network • Data integrity and Security • Satisfactory service levels
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Data Plan • Submission, Archival and Dissemination formats • Metadata sources and formats • Data transformations
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Succession Plan • Planning for the worst
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Disaster Plan • Identifying threats • Planning responses
STAGE 2- The Strategic Objective Plans The Preservation Plan • Monitoring Changing Hardware and Software • Monitoring Changing Standards and Formats • Monitoring Changing Users • Taking Appropriate Actions
