Presentatie van Jeffrey van der Hoeven van de Koninklijke Bibliotheek over essentiële kenmerken van digitale objecten tijdens de Internationale Dag van de Digitale Duurzaamheid.
6. What is significant by KB?
• KB policy and assumptions for digital preservation:
“Naast zorg dragen voor integriteit en authenticiteit, bewaart de KB minimaal de
waardendragende aspecten van digitale collecties, waarbij doorgaans geldt dat de
inhoudelijke componenten zoals tekst en beeld prioriteit krijgen.”
“Er moet risicoanalyse gebeuren om dit verder te specificeren.”
7. Strategy
Collection profiling, based on NLA paper Significance 2.0: a
guide to assessing the significance of collections:
• To identify which collections are most precious and need specific
attention
• Not (yet) successfully implemented. Needs to be a balance between
collection specialist and/vs curator. Needs to be extended to a digital
collection (e.g. webarchive) instead of special collection.
Pilot: collection profiling of physical books versus e-books:
• Is it possible to substitute a physical book by an e-book?
• Results of pilot to be expected in Q2 2018

8. In practice: quality checks for content and metadata
• Digitized content: jprofile
• which checks e.g.:
• Resolution
• Colorspace
• Compression (lossless of lossy)

11. Next steps
• Redefine our policy on digital preservation, including
significant properties from a curation perspective
• Apply / improve our approach on collection profiling
• Improve quality control
• Work together in NDE / share our experiences!
