DIGITAL ARCHIVAL INITIATIVE OF LIBRARY by Niranjan MohapatraNIRANJAN MOHAPATRA
This document presents information on digital archiving. It defines digital archiving as organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in a digital form. Digital archiving allows for information to be stored digitally and served digitally, similar to digitization. It discusses how digital archiving applies to libraries and their functions of preserving information through both print and electronic formats. It also addresses the history of archives and different types of archives like national archives, academic archives, and digital libraries as a form of digital archive.
Digital data preservation involves planning and allocating resources to ensure digital information remains accessible and usable over time. It requires policies, strategies and preservation methods to ensure future access. The document outlines 13 ways to approach digital preservation, including as an ongoing activity that avoids crises through continuous effort rather than periodic bursts; as a cooperative effort across organizations to enhance funding; and as a selection process to determine what data is worth preserving given limits on storage. The conclusion notes that while the article outlines preservation approaches, it does not explain how to achieve preservation or select essential data to retain.

Digital preservation is the process of maintaining digital materials so they remain accessible and usable. This involves both preserving born-digital content and digitizing physical materials. It is important because digital materials are dependent on continued rendering and fragile without active maintenance as formats and software change. Strategies for digital preservation include creating metadata standards, maintaining trusted storage systems, and planning for format migration and emulation to ensure future access. Current challenges include high costs, legal issues around copyright, and ensuring the authenticity and longevity of digital files and storage media.

Digital preservation aims to maintain access to digital materials over time despite changes in technology. It faces challenges such as the obsolescence of storage technologies, instability of storage media, and maintaining the integrity of digital materials. Recommendations include starting preservation close to creation to ensure future access and increasing awareness of preservation techniques. While skepticism remains, institutions like the Library and Archives of Canada are mandated to preserve digital heritage for present and future generations through continued migration to new technologies and formats.
This document discusses digital libraries, including their definition, objectives and scope. A digital library is defined as a library that stores content in digital formats that can be accessed electronically rather than in print. Digital libraries aim to provide broad access to information through electronic means and can include services, digitized content like text, images and video, and organization of that content. The document outlines key aspects of digital libraries like their advantages over traditional libraries, input capture devices used to digitize content, common file formats, and storage media formats.
The document discusses digital libraries, including their architecture and design. It defines a digital library as a collection of documents available electronically on the internet or CD-ROM. Digital libraries use technology to break down traditional rules for archives by describing archived materials individually and allowing for reproduction. The document also discusses different types of metadata, including structural and descriptive metadata, and different metadata schemes.
The document discusses procedures for digitizing content and managing digital libraries. It addresses the importance of documenting digitization processes and having standard operating procedures. It also discusses the differences between evaluating digital libraries through offline paper/pencil surveys versus online surveys. A study is described that found no significant differences in usability scores between offline and online surveys of a digital library when using the System Usability Scale, but the online survey had more incomplete responses and less engagement with open-ended questions. Both online and offline approaches have advantages and drawbacks for evaluating digital libraries.

Preparation, Proceed and Review of preservation of Digital Library Asheesh Kamal
My paper focuses on the future information to preserve and use in a user-friendly environment; and also digital preservation methods and strategy, the life cycle of digital media, especially in the digital library.
A digital library stores collections of information in digital formats that are accessible via computer networks. It provides an architecture to organize, integrate and transform scattered digital documents. Companies can use a digital library as the foundation for decision support systems to perform more accurate analyses. There are different types of digital libraries including document libraries containing books and reports, and data warehouses which combine and store vast amounts of historical reference data from multiple sources. While digital libraries provide benefits like unlimited access and storage, they also involve significant costs for conversion, maintenance and technical support.

The document discusses digital lending by public libraries from both EU and US legal perspectives. It summarizes the views of copyright holders, who oppose exceptions for digital lending, and librarians, who support exceptions. Currently digital lending is conducted through contracts between parties rather than exceptions. The document also analyzes whether digital lending could be considered fair use. It notes debates around how digital lending may differ from traditional physical lending in legal terms and models used.
Open Source Software for Digital Preservation Repositories : A SurveyIJCSES Journal
In the digital age, the amount of data produced is growing exponentially. Governments and institutions can no longer rely on old methods for storing data and passing on the knowledge to future generations. Digital data preservation is a mandatory issue that needs proper strategies and tools. With this awareness, efforts are being made to create and perfect software solutions capable of responding to the challenge of properly preserving digital information. This paper focuses on the state-of-the-art in open-source software solutions for the digital preservation and curation field used to assimilate and disseminate information to designated audiences. Eleven open source projects for digital preservation are surveyed in areas such as supported standards and protocols, strategies for preservation, methodologies for reporting, dynamic of development, targeted operating systems, multilingual support and open source license. Furthermore, five of these open
source projects, are further analysed, with focus on features deemed important for the area. Along open source solutions, the paper also briefly surveys the standards and protocols relevant for digital data preservation. The area of digital data preservation repositories has several open source solutions, which can form the base to overcome the challenges to reach mature and reliable digital data preservation.
This document summarizes the key findings from research analyzing policies and practices regarding the digitalization of cultural heritage in Poland. The research included analyzing legislative documents, websites containing digital cultural heritage objects, and academic dissertations. The analysis revealed a gap between policies promoting digitalization and actual online strategies and practices in Poland. Preliminary findings indicate that while EU policies view cultural heritage as a shared European resource to promote economic growth, Polish policies emphasize preserving national cultural heritage. The research is ongoing but aims to understand changes over time in digitalization standards, types of objects digitized, access to resources, and audience interaction with digital cultural heritage.
Digital libraries offer a knowledge base that can be accessed online, overcoming geographical barriers. They support functions like document preservation, database management, information retrieval, and dissemination. Major digital library projects include those in the US funded by NSF, ARPA, and NASA involving 6 universities, and 35 Elib projects in the UK. In India, the IISc digital library was a pioneer, accessible online and containing publications and theses. However, issues around copyright, data protection, and sustainability must still be addressed before digital libraries fully replace conventional libraries.
This document provides an overview of copyright research resources and strategies. It discusses the importance of getting to know copyright sources during law school, developing a personal IP research toolkit, and doing comparative searches using free and premium services.

20yrs: 2007 Brussels Digital Preservation: Setting the Course for a Decade of...Neil Beagrie
“Digital Preservation: Setting the Course for a Decade of Change” , a conference keynote from 2007, available now on Slideshare is the ninth of 12 presentations I’ve selected to mark 20 years in Digital Preservation. The remainder will be published at monthly intervals over 2015.
This presentation was the opening keynote to a conference in 2007 held by the Belgian Association of Documentation (BDA) to celebrate its 60th anniversary. It dates from my time at the British Library.
The conference theme was "Europe facing the challenge of the long term conservation of digitalised archives". My keynote synthesised many of the topics I was focussing on at the time (and have featured in some of my earlier slide shares in this series) including encouraging University libraries to engage more actively with research data management in the sciences, to begin developing digital special collections of individuals, and to support international efforts to ensure continuing access and preservation of e-Journals as part of the scholarly record. In addition, given the European focus I briefly covered some of the major European initiatives in digital preservation at that time.
I have selected this presentation as one of the 12 in this series, not only as it is synthesising these key themes but also because it includes some thoughts on whether digital preservation needed to be evolution or revolution (or a bit of both) for libraries and archives.
The Swedish Research Council is working towards open science and access to research information.
It issued recommendations in 2015 for national open access guidelines and has since required open access publishing. It now aims to coordinate open access to research data and raise awareness of data management best practices. The long term goal is an open science system within ten years where research data is openly available while protecting privacy and legal obligations.

It defines key concepts like digitization, digital libraries, and discusses the benefits of digitization projects. Some major benefits identified include preservation of materials, reducing space and costs, facilitating resource sharing, and improving access and services. The document then discusses the history and objectives of Nigeria's National Virtual Library Project. It notes that while no Nigerian university has fully digitized its holdings, some like the University of Jos and Obafemi Awolowo University have undertaken projects to digitize collections like theses, dissertations, and newspapers. Overall, the document explores the concept and current state of digitization efforts in Nigerian university libraries.
Digital heritage tools in Ireland - a review (Sharon Webb & Aileen O'Carroll)dri_ireland
Presented at Cultural Heritage, Creative Tools & Archives, National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen (26-27 June 2013)
This paper reviews the user tools currently in use by Irish Cultural Heritage organisations. We highlight that key challenges for those providing user tools are associated with issues of preservation and sustainability of digital tools, and argue that for cultural heritage organisations the provision of digital tools is as important as providing access to the digital content stored, harvested and aggregated. This review draws on qualitative interviews carried out by the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) in order to inform requirements specifications, policy statements, user guidelines and best practices.
The document discusses emerging trends in library networks in the new millennium, including the growth of digital resources and collections, developments in digital library technologies, and the future of networked digital resources. Some key points discussed are the exponential growth of information, transition from physical to digital media, consortium approaches for accessing content, developing digital collections and repositories, and emerging technologies like semantic retrieval and knowledge sharing platforms. The future of library networks is envisioned to include fluid and transient multimedia resources, free and flexible virtual information spaces, global and personalized access, and more emphasis on informal knowledge exchange and social relationships.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. “Hot Topics” in Long-term
Preservation of Digital Objects
Borje Justrell
National Archives of Sweden
2. Aim of the Session
This session will focus on some topics in
long-term digital preservation that are
“hot” today at the Swedish National
Archives.
The perspective is Swedish, but the intention
is that the chosen topics will serve as
examples on the discussion in the
European archival community.
3. Programme
10.30 Introduction
- The Swedish archival framework
- Digital preservation – definitions and
trends
11.00 Chosen topics
- Open data and the role of National
Archives
- Transfer of electronic records
- Building a digital archive
12.00 End
4. The Swedish Archival Framework
Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a
Scandinavian country in Northern Europe. At
450,295 square kilometres (173,860 sq mi),
Sweden is the third-largest country in the
European Union by area. With a total population
of over 9.9 million, Sweden consequently has a
low population density of 21 inhabitants per
square kilometre (54/sq mi), with the highest
concentration in the southern half of the country.
Approximately 85% of the population lives in urban
areas
5. The Swedish Archival Framework
Some basic facts:
- Freedom of the Press Act (1766) which is part of the Swedish
constitution. The Archives Act is based on it
- Public records
- Principle of openness and public access
- Record: could be textual or image based – or a data file or
something else that can be read and understood only by using
technical means
7. The Swedish Archival Framework
Organisation:
- One archival institution for state archives (the
National Archives) appearing at 18 locations
around the country, administrating in total 13
physical reading rooms and 1 digital “reading
room” on the Internet. About 500 employees.
- All municipalities (290 primary ones and 20
secondary ones) are to some extent independent
and “performers” in accordance with Swedish laws
and state regulations and also responsible for their
own archiving (under the Freedom of the Press
Act).
8. Digtial Preservation - Definitions
A major difficulty in digital preservation is the lack of a
precise and definitive taxonomy of terms. Different
communities use the same terms in different ways.
Therefore, definitions used in this session may not
necessarily achieve widespread consensus
among the wide ranging of cultural heritage
institutions.
In European calls for R&D project it is often said, that
preservation is on hand when digital objects are
accessible and usable to future users.
Preservation is NOT concerned only with sustaining
single digital objects. Digital objects should be
preserved in context which makes them
understandable and (consequently) usable.
9. Digital Preservation - Definitions
Digital objects
Range from relatively simple, text-based files (e.g.
word processing files), to highly sophisticated
web-based resources which fully exploit the
benefits of technology by combining sound with
images, the ability to link to other resources, and
the ability to interrogate.
Include born digital objects, which are not intended to
have an analogue equivalent, either as the
originating source or as a result of conversion to
analogue form (print out).
10. Digital Preservation - Definitions
Digital archiving
This term is used very differently within sectors. The library and
archiving communities often use it interchangeably with digital
preservation.
Computing professionals tend sometimes to use digital archiving to
mean the process of backup and on-going maintenance
(including storage) as opposed to strategies for long-term digital
preservation.
11. Digital Preservation - Definitions
Digital curation
Digital curation is often used in parallel with digital
preservation; it has wider coverage and involves
“maintaining, preserving and adding value to digital data
throughout its life-cycle”.
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/digital-curation/what-digital-curation
12. Digital Preservation - Definitions
Digitisation
The process of creating digital files by scanning or
otherwise converting analogue materials.
The resulting digital copy, or digital surrogate, could
then be classed as a digital object to sustain and
consequently subject to the same broad
challenges involved in preserving accessibility and
usability to it, as "born digital" materials.
13. Digital Preservation - Definitions
Authenticity
Confidence in the authenticity of digital materials over
time is particularly crucial owing to the ease with
which alterations can be made
In the case of electronic records, authenticity refers to
the trustworthiness of the electronic record as a
record.
In the case of "born digital" and digitised materials, it
refers to the fact that whatever is being cited is the
same as it was when it was first created unless the
accompanying metadata indicates any changes.
17. Open Data and the Role
of National Archives
Open data in its broader meaning is data freely
available to everyone to use and republish as
they wish, without restrictions from any
mechanisms of control including copyright and
patents.
However, an internationally accepted (formal)
definition is still lacking. Discussions have started
about the need for standardisation, unclear of
what.
.
18. Open Data and the Role
of National Archives
In computing, linked data is a method of publishing
structured data so that it can be interlinked and
become more useful through semantic queries. To
create linked open data means that data are not only
open but also published in a machin-readable format
and linked to other sources of data.
The diagram on next slide shows which linking open
datasets are connected, as of August 2014. This was
produced by the Linked Open Data Cloud project,
which started in 2007. Some sets may include
copyrighted data which is freely available
19.
20. Open Data and the Role
of National Archives
Open data is often recognised as a method to achieve a
higher degree of transparency in governmental
management and decision-making. In EU, open data –
government initiatives are built on the union’s directive
for Public Service Information (PSI) which is
implemented in the legislation of the Member States.
But – all PSI-data are not open, and all open data are not
necessarily open public data.
21. Open Data and the Role
of National Archives

22. Open Data and the Role
of National Archives
In Sweden, the National Archives has this year got a special
assignment from the government to foster and coordinate state
agencies efforts to make their data available for wider use.
23. Open Data and the Role
of National Archives
The National archives shall, according to the
governments decision, mainly
- collect and publish digital information that state
agancies have to make public in accordance with
the Swedish law on reuse of public records
- stimulate state agencies to publish open data
- administrate and maintain the web portal for
open data (already existing)
- support citizens in finding public data and helping
them in contacting the agencies who are
managing these data
24. Open Data and the Role
of National Archives
This is a assignment for three years. After this period the
outcome will be evaluated.
The reasons behind the Governments decision are clearly
stated:
It should be easy for citizens and companies to find the state
agencies information. However, the agencies need
support to make their information accessible in a uniform
and cost-effective way.
25. Open Data and the Role
of National Archives
But what about other types of open data than PSI
data?
Still under discussion. Most obviosly: Use the
assignment as a stepping stone for a strategy on
open data and linked open data.
A special secretariat at the National Archives has for
some years looked into the challenges and
opportunities in linked open data (incl metadata
standards tools for mapping metadata between
formats and standards)
27. Conditions in the Beginning of
the 21st Century
• No fixed transfer time; data files received from state
agencies can be new or old ones.
• Transfers are negotiated between the agencies and the
National Archives. Funding is remitted from the agencies to
the National Archives to cover the preservation costs.
• When agencies are closed down, their archives are (by law)
transferred to the National Archives
• No common E-Archiving standard and Records
Management standard in use; agencies implement their own
(incompatible) solutions, developed by commercial software
vendors.
28. Regulations for Digital
Preservation
The National Archives issues regulations for digital preservation
in the Swedish agencies (under the Archives Act)
Accepted file formats (media dependent rules)
–Text files (ISO 8859-1, Unicode)
–HTML
–XML (also GML and SGML)
–PDF (PDF/A-1)
–JPEG, TIFF and PNG
–MPEG
29. Digitisation activities
In-house scanning of documents; primarily church records,
at the National Archives large scale digitising facility
MKC
In-house scanning of documents at the National Archives
different locations, further processed at MKC or SVAR
(the digital reading room)
In-house microfilm scanning at SVAR
Microfilm scanning by FamilySearch in Salt Lake City to be
delivered to SVAR; primarily church records and judicial
records.
30. Long-term Digital Storage at the
National Archives (2016-11-01)
• Born-digital files from agencies: about 5 TB
• Audio-video files and multimedia: about 100 TB
• Digitised volumes (one AIP per volume): 466 225
• Digitised images (TIFF-format): 2473 TB
–Images in total: 179 million
–Images published on Internet: 98 million
• DJVU-files (presentation format): about 30 TB
• Total storage: About 5 PB on tape. (All files are stored on two
tapes)
31. Attributes of a Trusted Digital
Repository (OCLC 2002)
• Compliance with the Reference Model for
an Open Archival Information System
(OAIS)
• Administrative responsibility
• Organisational viability
• Financial sustainability
• Technological and procedural suitability
• System security
• Procedural accountability
32. The OAIS model
An OAIS compliant archive is built on six functional
parts
• Ingest
• Archival Storage.
• Data Management
• Administration.
• Access
• Preservation Planning

35. The Archival Storage System
(ESSArch)
• ESSArch is a back-end system for archival storage
• Storage and retrieval of AIP:s. Stores AIP:s in several bitwise
identical copies
• AIP:s (contain data files and metadata in METS/PREMIS-format) are
stored in TAR-format. No vendor specific backup format
• Reads and writes checksums for packages and files
• Event log and access control
• Local MySQL-database using the PREMIS 2.0. data model
• Automatic updates to the Archival Information System ARKIS
• ESSArch is an open source system based on Linux, Apache, MySQL
och Python. ESSArch (version 2.1.0) is available at SourceForge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/essarch/ )
• Used by the National Archives in Sweden and Norway
36. General Archival Standards
• ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF)
–The Archival Information System ARKIS is modelled after these
standards
• EAD (Encoded Archival Description), XML-format for archival
descriptions. and EAC-CPF (Encoded Archival Context) .XML-
format for the description of archive creators
–These formats are used as exchange formats for archival
description information
–Supported by several commercial archival information systems
–Import and export functions in ARKIS
–Currently a new Swedish EAD and EAC-CPF specification is
being developed
37. Metadata standards for digital
preservation
METS (Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard) - Structure for
encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata
(DLF/LOC) (2004)
PREMIS (Preservation Metadata) - A data dictionary and supporting
XML schemas for core preservation metadata needed to support
the long-term preservation of digital materials (OCLC/LOC)
(2005)
MIX (NISO Metadata for Images in XML) - XML schema for encoding
technical data elements required to manage digital image
collections (ANSI/NISO) (2006)
38. Other formats
ADDML (Archival Data Description Markup Language)
XML-format used by the National Archives of Norway
and Sweden, XML-format for describing flat files
exported from databases (2001, 2009).
An alternative to the Swiss SIARD-format for
databases
40. E-archive project
To strengthen the development of eGovernment and
create good opportunities for inter-agency coordination, a
delegation for eGovernment was established by the
Government. This delegation initiates strategic e-
government projects, one about e-archive.
This project was headed by the National Archives but in fact
a joint effort involving several other governmental agencies
as well as county councils and municipalities
The goal: to build a foundation for the implementation of cost
effective systems based on common specifications as
opposed to isolated and incompatible systems for each
agency (government, county council or municipality).
”
41. E-archive project
The first step: to create common specifications (CM)
for exchange formats and thus create
interoperability for the development of compatible
E-Archive and Record Management systems. In
these specifications national adaptations of
several international standards will be used such
as EAD, EAC-CPF, PREMIS, METS, MoReq and
others.
The Project finished in 2014
A maintenance organisation for the common
specifications has now been built up

43. Sub-project: Metadata for E-
Archiving
• Developing a Swedish SIP based on standards such as
METS and PREMIS
• For use in agencies as well as archival institutions
– Not only for delivery to the National Archives
– Ensure compatibility between different solutions and E-
Archive implementations
– Generic structure: the SIP should be possible to adapt to
different information types with basic metadata common
to all information types
44. Subproject: Metadata for E-
Archiving
Curent status
• Developing a Swedish SIP
–An official specification for a common SIP
Package structure has been published in August
2015
• Content type specification
–A common content type specification (CM) for
ERMS-systems is currently being developed
