Arkiva
» All types of digital material in the same system
– Several different processes for ingest and access have to be planned and documented for different materials depending of type and amount
» Preservation first priority
» Relational database, records
– Intellectual entities
– Digital objects
– Measures
– Technical metadata
– Digitisation process
![Page 13: ARKIVA The Digital Archive of the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland Jessica Parland-von Essen 28.1.2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697c0291a28abf838cd7731/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The structure of the databaseMain tables:
» intellectual_entities: descriptive metadata
» digital_objects: contains technical and administrative metadata
» events: records for provenance
» samlingar: collections
» digitization_profiles: contains information about digitisation
» informanter: information about informants

Managing versions and relations
» Intellectual entity vs. digital object
» dcterms_isPartOf
» dcterms_isVersionOf
» dcterms_isReferencedBy
» dc_source
» Dcterms_hasFormat

Cooperation
» The National Digital Library
– Especially its subproject for preservation PAS
» Dublin Core mapping for small archives
» Europeana
![Page 16: ARKIVA The Digital Archive of the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland Jessica Parland-von Essen 28.1.2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697c0291a28abf838cd7731/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Technical challenges
» Lack of ontological structure
– Time
– Geography
» Lack of name identifiers (international register needed)
» Technical metadata standards under development
» Dependency of proprietary back up software with closed source code
» METS-exports still need some manual work
» Accepted videoformats are difficult to handle
» Database preservation and even text cause some confusion
» Creation of technical and other metadata for donated born digital-material
![Page 17: ARKIVA The Digital Archive of the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland Jessica Parland-von Essen 28.1.2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697c0291a28abf838cd7731/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Questions» How can we handle different levels of ”entity”? (Events?)
– Conference
– Session
– Presentation
» How would a CRM-like structure support multiple levels of digital and physical versions?
» The same P:s and E:s don’t always apply to different versions or manifestations?
» Are preservation/digital curation events different from historical events?
» Good quality of metadata and standardisation are crucial for good usability
