H.M. Gladney: Economics and Engineering for Preserving Digital Content
Added 17 December 2007
http://eprints.erpan.../LDP_Engineering.pdf
Abstract: Progress towards practical long-term preservation seems to be stalled. Preservationists cannot afford specially developed technology, but must exploit what is created for the marketplace. Economic and technical facts suggest that most preservation work should be shifted from repository institutions to information producers and consumers.
Prior publications describe solutions for all known conceptual challenges of preserving a single digital object, but do not deal with software development or scaling to large collections. Much of the document handling software needed is available. It has, however, not yet been selected, adapted, integrated, or deployed for digital preservation. The daily tools of both information producers and information consumers can be extended to embed preservation packaging without much burdening these users.
We describe a practical strategy for detailed design and implementation. Document handling is intrinsically complicated because of human sensitivity to communication nuances. Our engineering section therefore starts by discussing how project managers can master the many pertinent details.

Harnessing the Power of Digital Data for Science and Society
Added 2 March 2009
http://www.nitrd.gov...essing_Power_Web.pdf
The Interagency Working Group on Digital Data (IWGDD) of the National Science and Technology Council's(NSTC) Committee on Science has issued a report detailing a strategy to promote preservation of, and access to, digital scientific data. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was one of the agencies that participated in the development of this report. Kenneth Thibodeau and Robert Chadduck of the Electronic Records Archives (ERA) Program Management Office served as NARA's representatives to this group.

How to Choose a Digital Preservation Strategy: Evaluating a Preservation Planning Procedure
Added 23 October 2007
http://www.ifs.tuwie...per/FP060-strodl.pdf
This paper presents the PLANETS Preservation Planning approach. It provides an approved way to make informed and accountable decisions on which solution to implement in order to optimally preserve digital objects for a given purpose. It is based on Utility Analysis to evaluate the performance of various solutions against well defined requirements and goals. The viability of this approach is shown in a range of case studies for different settings. We present its application to two scenarios of web archives, two collections of electronic publications, and a collection of multimedia art.
This work focuses on the different requirements and goals in the various preservation settings.

How to Choose a Digital Preservation Strategy: Evaluating a Preservation Planning Procedure
Added 9 November 2007
http://www.ifs.tuwie...per/FP060-strodl.pdf
An increasing number of institutions throughout the world face legal obligations or business needs to collect and preserve digital objects over several decades. Today, a range of tools exist today to support the variety of preservation strategies such as migration or emulation. Yet, different preservation requirements across institutions and settings make the decision on which solution to implement very difficult.
