The Digital Black Hole
Added 2 August 2006
http://www.tape-onli.../Palm_Black_Hole.pdf
The article presents an analysis of costs for digitizing and long-term storage at the Riksarkivet (National Archives, RA) in Stockholm, Sweden. This example includes forecasts of cost development for the next few years which may help other institutions in analysing their own costs and budgeting for long-term storage.
Without long-term planning, digitization projects can come to behave like black holes in the sky. Scanned information, which in the analog world could be accessed simply by the use of our eyes, is suddenly stored in an environment where it is only retrievable through the use of technology, which constitutes a constant cost factor. The more information is converted, the more the costs for accessing it go up. The digital black hole has got its firm grip on the project. It will go on swallowing either money or information: the funding must be continued or the input will have been wasted. If funding starts to fade, the information may still be retrieved but after a while it will no longer be accessible due to corrupted files, or obsolete file formats or technology. Then the digital information is lost for ever in the black hole.

The Digital Document Quarterly newsletter vol. 7 no. 3
Added 20 October 2008
http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq_7_3.htm
This number features a critique of scholarly writing and a continuation of the analysis underlying my prediction that university departments of Information Science will probably disappear within about twenty years.
DDQ's treatment of long-term digital preservation continues, featuring a column about how the technical component can be partitioned into pieces that are individually tractable for small R&D teams.

The DRIVER Guidelines
Added 7 August 2007
http://www.driver-su...u/en/guidelines.html
In the rapidly evolving repository landscape a unified approach and implementation of repositories is needed to ensure high level interoperability and retrieval of content. DRIVER provides such a unified approach and is leading the way as the largest initiative of its kind helping to enhance repository development worldwide.

The European Repository Landscape - Inventory study into the present type and level of OAI compliant Digital Repository activities in the EU
Added 21 January 2008
http://dare.uva.nl/document/93725
The study presents a complete inventory of the state of digital repositories in the 27 countries of the European Union and provides a basis to contemplate the next steps in driving forward an interoperable infrastructure at a European level.
Free access to knowledge and research outputs are important drivers for the knowledge society. The access via the internet to research outputs such as scientific publications and student theses is getting better and easier due to improved retrieval via digital repositories. The study shows that a significant number of EU countries' research universities have developed a digital repository for research output. The study also shows that a smaller proportion of EU countries seem to be in a starting phase, and some countries do not appear to have any digital repositories for the purpose of disseminating research output.
The study concludes that more work is needed to ensure awareness of the Open Access movement across Europe and that further encouragement for the establishment and development of digital repositories will aid in this work.

The large-scale archival storage of digital objects
Added 3 March 2008
http://www.dpconline.org/docs/dpctw04-03.pdf
Jim Linden, Sean Martin, Richard Masters, and Roderic Parker (The British Library).
This report describes the issues surrounding storage technology from the perspective of a digital repository. It covers the British Library’s thinking that led to conclusions about the design of a system for the preservation storage of digital objects, and the specific conclusions about the preservation storage architecture to adopt. The planning figure for the storage required was that it would grow to over 100 terabytes (100 thousand gigabytes, or 100 million megabytes) in 3 years. A multi-site architecture was selected. Each site would provide, amongst other functions, a software layer providing storage services that was independent of the actual physical storage. This physical storage would use commodity storage units from a number of vendors, which could be replaced over time without having to alter any software. The storage initially purchased uses the relatively new Serial ATA standard.

The role of a national library in supporting research information infrastructure
Added 20 October 2006
http://www.ifla.org/...rs/155-Cathro-en.pdf
In Australia, the National Library is collaborating with the higher education sector as part of a national program to improve the nation’s research information infrastructure. These activities have provided a focus for the National Library in its engagement with the university community.
This paper is based on the experience of the National Library of Australia during the past three years in working with universities and the federal Department of Education, Science and Training to improve research information infrastructure in Australia.

Recommendations on the Implementation of an Open Source Digital Archival and Preservation System and on Related Software Development
This report was commissioned by UNESCO Memory of the World Programme and prepared with the support of the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories (APSR).
Kevin Bradley, National Library of Australia, led the project, edited the report and is ultimately responsible for its content.
Junran Lei undertook the research and Chris Blackall supported the development of the structure of the document and coordinated APSR’s work.

Trusted Digital Repositories
Added 3 August 2006
http://www.rlg.org/l...erm/repositories.pdf
In March 2000 RLG and OCLC began collaboration to establish atributes of a digital repository for research organizations, building on and incorporating the emerging international standard of the Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS). A trusted repository is one whose mission is to provide reliable, long-term access to managed digital resources to its designated community, now and in the future. In this report the working group has articulated a framework of attributes and responsibilities for trusted, reliable, sustainable digital repositories.
