Open Archival Information System • ISO 14721:2003 • Conceptual framework • Emphasizes importance of non-technical aspects of digital repository (organizational infrastructure and resources) • Preservation planning • Importance of metadata
Functional Requirements of OAIS • Common services • Ingest • Archival storage • Data management • Administration • Preservation planning • Access
Trustworthy Digital Repositories • Audit and Certification of TDRs (ISO 16363:2012) • Hundreds of criteria • Organizational Infrastructure • Digital Object Management • Infrastructure and SecurityRisk Management • Additional standard to certify auditing bodies is being developed
Attributes of TDR • OAIS compliance • Administrative responsibility • Organizational viability • Financial sustainability • Technological and procedural suitability • System security • Procedural accountability
Digital Preservation Strategies • BitstreamCopying
Digital Preservation Strategies • TechnologyPreservation
Digital Preservation Strategies • Digital Archaeology
Digital Preservation Strategies • Migration • Replication • Bitstream Copying • LOCKSS • Normalization
Digital Preservation Strategies • Emulation
Why Create a Policy Framework? • Builds teams • Defines institutional commitment • Demonstrates compliance • Manages expectations • Defines issues and challenges • Raises awareness • Identifies roles and responsibilities
Digital Preservation Framework • OAIS compliance • Administrative responsibility • Purpose, Mandate, Objectives • Organizational viability • Scope, roles and responsibilities, selection, access and use
Digital Preservation Framework • Financial sustainability • Commitment, cooperation and collaboration • Technological and procedural suitability • Systems security • Procedural accountability • Audit and transparency, policy framework administration, definitions, references
Common Elements of Digital Preservation Frameworks • Purpose • Objectives • Mandate • Scope • Challenges/Incentives • Principles • Roles and Responsibilities • Cooperation/Collaboration • Selection and Acquisition Criteria • Access/Use Criteria • Definitions • References
Policy Framework Action Plan • Ask questions about each common component (e.g., Do you have an authoritative mandate? Are roles and responsibilities clearly identified?) • If yes – compile information • If don’t know – determine whether they exist • If no, develop draft and seek institutional buy-in
Open-source, Canadian • “OAIS-compliant” • Employs “micro-services” to achieve digital preservation workflow • Combination of free and open-source tools • Migration and emulation • Normalizes files to preservation and access formats
Digital Preservation Management • "Long-term digital archiving requires systems, institutions, and business models that are robust enough to withstand technological failures, shifting computing platforms and media, changes in institutional missions, and interruptions in management funding.”
