VOs and Preservation• Some VOs specifically for preservation– CLOCKSS, MetaArchive
• Some have preservation components– DataVerse, Dspace
• Some leverage 3rd party services for preservation– DuraCloud, Chronopolis
All need mechanisms to define individual member and collective policies, monitor and assess compliance

DSpace Community as a “Virtual Organization”
informal community of ~1000 organizations using common infrastructure, including– Existing formal and informal corsortia
e.g. LASR, NITLE, OCUL, WRLC– Formal and informal collaborations
e.g. MIT and Harvard– Emerging use case of Cloud Services for sharing, preservation
e.g. DuraCloud pilot, client/vendor relationshipBut
• don’t want to be defined or bound by an infrastructure platform• “Trust” depends on prior relationships, legal contracts, implicit and explicit POLICIES of members and their content and services

The PLEDGE ProjectPoLicy Enforcement in Data Grid Environments
Visionautomated contract monitoring, trust assessmente.g. publishing IR policies on the Web in a standard format for easy discovery, inspection, auditing; injecting policies into AIPs
Allows for ad hoc and flexible, evolving VOs
PurposeInteroperability among infrastructure platforms (DSpace, SRB/iRODS) via relevant operations and policies
ProcessIdentified existing repository policies → mapped to TRAC → expressed in Rei (policy expression language) → captured in AIPs → shared between repositories

VO Policies and TRACTRAC criteria describe policies about
– Organizations, Environment and Legal (OEL)– (Designated) Community and Usability (CU)– Process and Procedure (PP)– Technology and Infrastructure (TI)
And are implemented in different transaction types– Specification of Assertion (i.e. metadata)
e.g. mission statement or business plan– Consistency Constraint
e.g. deposit agreement, persistent identifiers– Periodic Rule
e.g. media migration, fixity checking– Atomic Rule
e.g. access control, required metadata

Using TRAC in Preservation VOs• Avoid point-to-point solutions, infrastructure platform
specific solutions
• All infrastructure platforms should support TRAC/VO policies to simplify and expand trust (and so preservation!)
• Solution should be Web-based for broadest adoption; policies should be encoded in a standard language (e.g. W3C RIF, Policy Language Interest Group) and monitor/assess with standard mechanisms
