This presentation was delivered during the joint DPE/Planets/CAPAR/nestor training event, ‘The Preservation challenge: basic concepts and practical applications’ (Barcelona, March 2009). It shows by means of Plato, how to create a preservation plan.

This presentation was delivered during the joint DPE/Planets/CAPAR/nestor training event, ‘The Preservation challenge: basic concepts and practical applications’ (Barcelona, March 2009). The presentation introduces a tool PLATTER, the Planning Tool for Trusted Electronic Repositories, which provides a basis for a digital repository to plan the development of its goals, objectives and performance targets over the course of its lifetime in a manner which will contribute to the repository establishing trusted status amongst its stakeholders.

Metadata can play a vital role in enabling the effective management, discovery, and re-usability of digital information. Digital preservation metadata provides provenance information, supports and documents preservation activity, identifies technical features, and aids in verifying the authenticity of a digital object. This presentation gives and introduction to Digital preservation matadata and preservation metada in practise. Presentation was delivered during the joint DPE/Planets/CAPAR/nestor training event, ‘The Preservation challenge: basic concepts and practical applications’ (Barcelona, March 2009)

Defining the types of information needed for digital objects to be preserved for the long term; understanding the OAIS metadata framework; understanding the importance of tools and standards; knowing the entities defined in the PREMIS data model and giving examples of the types of metadata that fall under each entity; analysis of digital preservation metadata needs for a given repository application.

Introduction to Preservation Metadata, from Prague Training 2008

The CASPAR questionnaire contains keys questions which allow you to carry out a preliminary investigation into an archive data holdings. The CASPAR questionnaire is strongly guided by OAIS and the CASPAR architecture. It lays out 13 key questions which critically allow you to. Understand the information extracted by users from data Identify Preservation Description and Representation information Develop a clearer understanding of the data and what is necessary for is effective re-use Understand relationships between the data files and what constitutes a digital object within the archive While it is appreciated that this questionnaire is not an exhaustive list of questions which one may need to ask about a preservation target it still provides sufficient information to commence the analysis process

Presentation of DPE tool: PLATTER

Presentation was delivered during the first DPE/Planets/nestor training event (Vilnius, October 2007). Presentation provide background on how the term metadata is understood; introduce some metadata standards; highlight the importance of standards; identify the main functions of preservation metadata; introduce the PREMIS Data Dictionary.

The presentation could be usefull for IT specialists, preservation managers, practitioners, trainers.

Presentation was delivered during the first DPE/Planets/nestor training event (Vilnius, October 2007). The presentation describes objectives of Preservation Planning; analyses the organisational context including a risk assessment; defines a framework for preservation; identifies criteria for preservation; defines workflow for evaluating/ defining preservation plans and developing methodologies for assessing the risks.

Defining the issues of PP; scope and role of Preservation Planning; the Planets approach; the organisational/ business context; usage requirements and collection profiles; preservation plans and preservation actions. Important for novices, preservation managers, practitioners.
