a centre of expertise in data curation and preservation
:: DCC—An Introduction :: 5
Development Deliverables• Registry/Repository development
– Review registry data model of related projects and agree common model as far as possible
– Pilot Registry for Data Formats– Design of Representation Information Repository
• Representation Information development– Data Description– Software– Time Dependence– Process
• Testing and Certification processes– Standards– Testbeds– Certification
DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE): Introduction
• Case studies in public and private sectors – 500 organisations contacted 12% participation
rate achieved– Aim to achieve spread across organisational
size and location– Diversity of organisational type, activity,
regulatory framework, and culture
• Perception across records and resources• Accumulate and make accessible
information about how approaches to digital longevity
• Identify issues for further research
ERPANET Case Studies

DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE): Introduction
• Perception and awareness of risk posed by digital materials• Understanding how digital preservation affects the organisation• Identifying what actions have been taken to prevent loss of
digital materials• Develop an understanding of the way preservation activities are
monitored (policies or programmes)• Understand how organisations plan future preservation
requirements (e.g. costs)• What technologies are in place
Focus of Investigations
DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE): Introduction
• Variation in awareness of risk• Value of information depends upon recognition of
business/organisational dependency, potential of re-use, or risk associated with information (not necessarily cost)
• Responsibility rarely taken at corporate level• Few organisations have adequate strategies• Activity is fragmentary: practices tend to be incomplete, ad hoc,
and unitary• waiting for external solutions• Preservation and storage poorly understood • Lack of policies and procedures

DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE): Introduction
DELOS Digital Preservation Testbed
• DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries; Digital Preservation Cluster, (FP6 IST)
• Joint efforts by Dutch National Archives, TU-WIEN, ONB, Phonogram Archives, SUB Göttingen, CNR with additional input from many other parties
• DELOS, Digital Preservation Cluster NoE, 6th Framework Program ISTReport at: http://www.dpc.delos.info
• DELOS DP Testbed tool :http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/dp
DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE): Introduction
Preservation Testbed
• requires clear specification of all DP goals/requirements
• provides structured view of these objectives
• offers platform for repeatable, documented evaluation
• Supports informed, documented, and accountable decisions on which preservation plan to adopt
DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE): Introduction
DELOS DP Testbed
• Reference model for developing preservation testbeds (systems) and an instance of the model
