DIGITAL PRESERVATION
Ensuring long term access to
significant digital content. In
practice, fundamentally a process of
identifying and responding to
potential risks of loss of access and
usability.

NDSA LEVELS OF
DIGITAL PRESERVATION
Phillips, M., Bailey, J., Goethals, A., & Owens, T. (2013). The NDSA Levels of
Digital Preservation: An Explanation and Uses. In Proceedings of the 2013
IS&T Archiving Conference.

FIVE
RISK
AREAS
Storage and geographic
location
File Fixity and Data Integrity
Information Security
Metadata
File Formats

STORAGE AND GEOGRAPHY
Risk: Damage to storage media could
result in total loss of data.
Mitigation Action: Manage multiple
copies, in different geographic regions
that face different disaster threats.

FILE FIXITY AND DATA INTEGRITY
Risk: Loss of data through use,
transactions, or bit rot.
Mitigation Action: Generate, track, log,
and manage fixity information across
copies and use data to repair bad
copies.

INFORMATION SECURITY
Risk: Loss of data through unauthorized
user actions.
Mitigation Action: Manage access
restrictions, log actions on files, audit
logs.

METADATA
Risk: Loss of usability of data or ability
to authenticate data.
Mitigation Action: Produce and manage
administrative, technical, descriptive,
and preservation metadata and
maintain non-co-located copies of
metadata.

FILE FORMATS
Risk: Loss of usability/renderability of
data.
Mitigation Actions: Articulate
preservation intent, limit format support
re sustainability factors, inventory
formats, validate files, produce
derivatives, virtualization & emulation.

PLANNING APPROACH
The best way to mitigate these risks
involves 1) hiring permanent trained
staff and 2) resourcing them as a
central cost center and to 3) plan on
a supporting a continual refresh
cycle for software and hardware.

LOOK AT THE LEDGER
If you want to know if an organization is
serious about digital preservation ask
their accountants. What part of core
operations resources are invested in
staffing, contracts, and software and
hardware dedicated to digital
preservation?

Semelhante a Digital Preservation: Understanding the Risks

Critical incident leadership and planning is an important topic in the field of homeland security. Within this field are many challenges. For the purposes of this forum only two shall be discussed. The two challenges related to critical incident leadership and planning is the ability to learn in a simulated environment and funding. The first challenge surrounds learning as there is a significant cost associated in providing a real life scenarios where employees can learn. Employees need to understand how they should react in a simulated process to ensure that they can perform in the real event. This simulated scenario also allows an independent group to measure the effectiveness of the incident response manager. An inexpensive and effective method to do this would be through the utilization of Second Life (SL). SL is one of the most popular virtual world provides a unique and secure teaching and learning environment for instructors and students. This learning environment could be designed to be private for a specific response group or incident where each avatar assigned to a unique name could include the name of group name that the individual is belong to. The second issue, which surrounds funding, directly correlates with the capabilities and readiness to respond to a group. To properly correct this one would need to find a method to assign funding needs to risks or events that are most likely to occur.

Data mining is a computational process of analysing and extracting the data from large useful datasets. In recent years, exchanging and publishing data has been common for their wealth of opportunities. Security, Privacy and data integrity are considered as challenging problems in data mining.Privacy is necessary to protect people’s interest in competitive situations. Privacy is an abilityto create and maintain different sort of social relationships with people. Privacy Preservation is one of the most important factor for an individual since he should not embarrassed by an adversary. The Privacy Preservation is an important aspect of data mining to ensure the privacy by various methods. Privacy Preservation is necessary to protect sensitive information associated with individual. This paper provides a survey of key to success and an approach where individual’s privacy would to be non-distracted.

Resilience is introduced as the new security goal supported with security/safety-related information by data-centric services for predictive risk management in real-time. Secondary use of personal information is of essential importance. The problem is that data-centric services threaten resilience. Although privacy as a state of equilibrium and its enforcement with usable security by identity management aims actually at decreasing users’ own risk, its use by data-centric services for unilateral information flow control threatens privacy and resilience. Users lose control on their identity while at the same time competitiveness of in particular small and medium service providers is endangered due to reliable statements on authentication of derived information. Self-protection, however, depends on opposite security interests. This talk claims that Multilateral Security improves privacy and resilience by a multilateral secondary use of personal security-related information for distributed usage control. This kind of privacy is understood as informational self-determination whereas the key concept is non-linkable delegation of rights on secondary use of personal information. presented at the workshop "Usable Security and Privacy" an event of "Mittelstand-Digital" of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) and HCI conference "Mensch und Computer 2015" in Stuttgart, Germany http://www.mittelstand-digital.de/DE/Service/suche,did=717526.html

Resilience by Usable Security

Sven Wohlgemuth

Ensuring that an organisation's digital assets are safe, secure and accessible for the long term should (in theory) be an interesting, responsible and useful role for anyone in an organisation to accept. The critical importance of digital assets, the ubiquity of digital methods and the need for people in all walks of life to have effective means to refer to persistent sources of data reinforce this notion. How is it then that long-term asset management, information lifecycle management, data curation, digital preservation (call it what you will) is often regarded as a peripheral specialist activity that it is diffcult to resource, complex to carry out, and delivers benefits that are, at best, simply an insurance policy rather than an activity that adds value to an organisation? This presentation will examine the importance of defining clear roles for those involved with digital preservation and will consider the importance of associating this professional activity with strategic and tactical frameworks. It is likely that automated services will increasingly be required to deal with the collosal amount of digital information that will be produced and consumed over the next century and whilst the type and nature of these services are yet to be defined, we can be fairly certain of one endurng requirement, namely, that human judgement will always be needed to curate interesting and useful content for future generations.

In the digital age, the amount of data produced is growing exponentially. Governments and institutions can no longer rely on old methods for storing data and passing on the knowledge to future generations. Digital data preservation is a mandatory issue that needs proper strategies and tools. With this awareness, efforts are being made to create and perfect software solutions capable of responding to the challenge of properly preserving digital information. This paper focuses on the state-of-the-art in open-source software solutions for the digital preservation and curation field used to assimilate and disseminate information to designated audiences. Eleven open source projects for digital preservation are surveyed in areas such as supported standards and protocols, strategies for preservation, methodologies for reporting, dynamic of development, targeted operating systems, multilingual support and open source license. Furthermore, five of these open source projects, are further analysed, with focus on features deemed important for the area. Along open source solutions, the paper also briefly surveys the standards and protocols relevant for digital data preservation. The area of digital data preservation repositories has several open source solutions, which can form the base to overcome the challenges to reach mature and reliable digital data preservation.

The craft of digital preservation and digital collections care is anchored in the past. It builds off the records, files, and works of those who came before us and those who designed and set up the systems that enable the creation, transmission, and rendering of their work. At the same time, the craft of digital preservation is also the work of a futurist. We must look to the past trends in the ebb and flow of the development of digital media and hedge our bets on how digital technologies of the future will play out. This talk explores key issues for exploring and imagining that future. We start with consideration of some key emerging technologies relevant to digital collections and then zoom out to consider the future of digital collections in the context of technologies of surveillance, precarity of both cultural heritage institutions and cultural heritage workers in the context of neoliberalism, and then explore the broad set of challenges facing the future of collections stemming from the increasing effects of anthropogenic climate change. Drawing on frameworks for maintenance, care, and repair this talk concludes with an opportunity to reflect on and consider how memory and information workers should approach the digital present and future of our institutions and professions.

Caring for Digital Collections in the Anthropocene

I’m thrilled and honored to be a finalist for the Dutch Digital Heritage Network Award for Teaching and Communications for my book, The Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation. This is particularly significant to me for two reasons. First, I started out on this book directly as a teaching and communications effort and second because the international digital preservation community that DPC supports and encourages has been so vital in helping me develop and refine the ideas in this book. For this talk, I’m going to give a little context of where the book came from, how it was developed, and the overwhelming response I’ve received for it all of which I think make it a good fit for this particular award.

Research libraries are vital infrastructure enabling the development and dissemination of knowledge. They are simultaneously essential to the function of institutions of learning and themselves institutions that must grow and learn. In this context, librarianship must involve dynamic and empirically driven applied research and testing to improve our knowledge ecosystem. This talk explores how developments in human centered design, systems thinking for social change, frameworks for collaborative applied research, and service design can inform a general approach to the role of librarians in research institutions. Collectively, these areas of work support a vision of librarians at research institutions as both enablers of knowledge production and producers of essential new knowledge and scholarship.

Libraries, Archives and Museums now have massive digital holdings. There is tremendous potential for library and information science, computer science and computer engineering researchers to partner with cultural heritage institutions and make our digital cultural record more useful and usable. In particular, there is a significant need to bridge basic research in areas such as computer vision, crowdsourcing, natural language processing, multilingual OCR, and machine learning to make this work directly usable in the practices of cultural heritage institutions. In this talk, I discuss a series of exemplar projects, largely funded through the Institute of Museum and Library Services National Digital Platform initiative, that illustrate some key principles for building applied research partnerships with cultural heritage institutions. Building on Ben Schniderman’s The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations, I focus specifically on why the public purpose and missions of cultural heritage institutions are particularly valuable in establishing new kinds of collaborations that can simultaneously advance basic research and the ability for people of the world to engage with their cultural record.

Trevor Owens

The increasingly digital records of our communities and our organizations require all of us to become digital stewardship and digital preservation practitioners. The challenge seems daunting but the good news is we don’t have to do it alone. A distributed network of practitioners and learners across the country are increasingly finding ways to learn together and share and pool their resources to tackle these challenges and provide enduring access to our digital heritage. Owens’ talk will provide examples of how archivists are rising to the challenge and practical guidance for both digital preservation beginners and experts.

Start Today: Digital Stewardship Communities & Collaborations

Trevor Owens

Carl Sagan’s WordPerfect files, simulations emailed to Edward Lorenz, a database application from the National Library of Medicine, a collection of science blogs, a database of interstellar distances; each of these digital artifacts have been acquired by archives and special collections. Born digital primary sources are no longer a future concern for archivists, librarians, curators and historians. As historians of science turn their attention to the late 20th and early 21st century, they will need to work from these born-digital primary sources. We have already accumulated a significant born digital past and it’s time for work with born digital primary sources to become mainstream. This presentation will give a quick tour of individual born digital artifacts toward two goals. First, I argue for the need for archivists, curators and librarians to reflexively develop approaches to establishing preservation intent for digital content grounded in a dialog with the nature of a given set of digital objects and it’s future research use. Second, for historians, I suggest how trends in computational analysis of information in the digital humanities should be combined with approaches from digital forensics and new media studies to establish historiographic practices for born-digital source criticism. I conclude by suggesting the kinds of technical skills archivists, librarians, curators and historians working with these materials are going to need to develop. Just as historians working with premodern documents require language and paleography skills, historians working with digital artefacts will increasingly need to understand the inscription processes of hard drives, the provenance created by web crawlers, and how to read relational databases of varying vintages.

Talk presented as a closing keynote to the Biodiversity Heritage Library's National Digital Stewardship Residency program meeting at the National Museum of Natural History. This talk reviews the National Digital Platform framework developed by US IMLS in collaboration with various library, archives and museum stakeholders and presents a series of additional conceptual frameworks on the role of software in society and psychology.

Platform Thinking: Frameworks for a National Digital Platform State of Mind

Trevor Owens

Digital library infrastructures must not simply work. They must also manifest the core principles of libraries and archives. Since 2014, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has engaged with stakeholders from diverse library communities to consider collaborative approaches to building digital library tools and services. The “national digital platform” for libraries, archives, and museums is the framework that resulted from these dialogs. One key feature of the national digital platform (NDP) is the anchoring of core library principles within the development of digital tools and services. This essay explores how NDP-funded projects enact library principles as part of the national framework.

As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.

Update on IMLS National Digital Platform

Trevor Owens

This keynote, at the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference, provides and update on the National Digital Platform and 20 projects supported to enhance it. The national digital platform is a way of thinking about and approaching the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the US. In this sense, it is the combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the US. As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to digital content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. It is possible for each library in the country to leverage and benefit from the work of other libraries in shared digital services, systems, and infrastructure. We need to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure, for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. To this end, IMLS is focusing on the national digital platform as an area of priority in the National Leadership Grants to Libraries program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program. We are eager to explore how this way of thinking and approaching infrastructure development can help states make the best use of the funds they receive through the Grants to States program. We’re also eager to work with other foundations and funders to maximize the impact of our federal investment

Libraries, archives and museums are sites of community memory. The first public computerized bulletin board system was called community memory. Trevor’s talk will explore the connections between the development of the web as a global knowledge base, the open source software movement, and digital strategy for libraries, archives and museums. This keynote talk will synthesize research on the history of online community software with practical experience working on open source digital library projects. This exploration underscores the essential role cultural heritage institutions need to play in this era of the web and some important distinctions between how the concept of community is deployed in discussions of the web.

Slides from an invited presentation I gave to the University of Pittsburgh's iSchool. "Ensuring long term access to digital information sounds like a technical problem. It seems like digital preservation should be a computer science problem. Far from it. In this lecture Trevor Owens, a digital archivist at the Library of Congress argues that digital preservation is in fact a core problem and issue at the heart of the future of the digital humanities. Bringing together perspectives from the history of technology, new media studies, public history, and archival theory, he suggests the critical role that humanities scholars and practitioners should play in framing and shaping the collection, organization, description, and modes of access to the historically contingent digital material records of contemporary society."
