Metadata can play a vital role in enabling the effective management, discovery, and re-usability of digital information. Digital preservation metadata provides provenance information, supports and documents preservation activity, identifies technical features, and aids in verifying the authenticity of a digital object. This presentation gives and introduction to Digital preservation matadata and preservation metada in practise.

This presentation will provide an overview of issues in digital preservation. Presentation was delivered during the joint DPE/Planets/CAPAR/nestor training event, ‘The Preservation challenge: basic concepts and practical applications’ (Barcelona, March 2009)
The document discusses the Planets Preservation Planning workflow and tool called Plato. The workflow involves defining requirements, evaluating potential preservation actions, analyzing results, and building a preservation plan. Plato is a web-based tool that implements this workflow and allows defining objectives, samples, and requirements to evaluate preservation strategies according to specific criteria. The document provides guidance on using the tool for a practice preservation planning exercise involving a scenario and objective tree.
The document discusses preservation metadata and introduces the PREMIS Data Dictionary. It defines preservation metadata as information used to support the digital preservation process. Key points include:
- Preservation metadata is necessary for understanding and reusing digital information over time.
- The PREMIS Data Dictionary defines a core set of preservation metadata elements and provides strategies for managing this metadata.
- A survey found that while cultural heritage organizations are implementing digital repositories, they have little experience with long-term digital preservation and it is unclear if the metadata being collected will be sufficient.
The document discusses sustainable models for long-term digital preservation services. It notes that digital preservation requires planning over 100+ years, and services must provide long-term stability and flexibility to work with new formats. Effective models ensure low-risk for users, reflect their needs, involve the whole preservation community, and allow for growth of new services. The conclusion asks the reader to consider which service model would best suit their needs.
1. The document discusses significant characteristics that need to be extracted from digital files to enable their long-term preservation and processing.
2. It describes solutions like the PRONOM and DROID formats registries, and the XCL extractor that can identify file formats and extract characteristics in a standardized way.
3. The document argues that automating characteristic extraction is necessary when dealing with large numbers of files, as it can save significant time compared to manual processing.
The document outlines the structure and goals of the SHAMAN project. SHAMAN will develop a next-generation digital preservation framework and validate it through three application domains: scientific publishing, industrial design engineering, and e-science data. It will integrate new and legacy technologies to provide long-term preservation and access. The project consists of work packages, principal coordination areas, and integration and demonstration subprojects to develop components, conduct research, and evaluate the framework through use cases.
The document discusses the Planets Interoperability Framework, which defines a service-oriented architecture for digital preservation. It implements common services like authentication and authorization. It also provides a workflow enactment service and engine. The framework allows jobs to be submitted to grid/cloud resources for improved scalability. Experimental results show that performance scales with the number of nodes, though open issues around security, reliability and standardization remain. Map-reduce is proposed as a model for migrating large digital objects across multiple nodes in a distributed manner.
This document discusses new approaches for digital preservation outreach and engagement. It suggests that traditional outreach methods like briefings and conferences need to change to better disseminate solutions and raise awareness. New strategies proposed include developing online training modules; creating animated videos; and leveraging social media and search engines to more widely spread information about digital preservation risks and tools. The goal is to engage more communities and encourage greater investment in preservation research.
This document discusses representation information (RepInfo) and RepInfo networks. It describes how existing RepInfo can be organized and classified. An example of RepInfo for Villa Livia data is provided. The CASPAR/DCC RepInfo Registry stores and retrieves RepInfo and RepInfo networks and allows them to be shared. Tools are being developed for curating RepInfo, including a Java GUI tool and training materials.
This document discusses the challenges of long-term access to digital records for radioactive waste management. It notes that waste records need to be accessible for 50-1000+ years to meet societal, regulatory, and operational needs. Current records use a variety of media like paper, microform, removable digital storage, and material samples. Ensuring the preservation of digital records' provenance, readability, and usability over long periods of time is difficult due to changing technologies and standards. International cooperation is needed to develop standards and best practices for long-term digital records strategies that can transcend organizational changes.
The document discusses the challenges of preserving data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments. It notes that HEP experiments produce huge amounts of data that require extensive storage, software, and computing resources to analyze. However, many past HEP facilities did not have long-term strategies for archiving and preserving their data. Developing methods for permanent preservation, reuse, and open access to HEP data presents significant technical and financial challenges but is important given the huge costs of generating the data.
This document introduces PLATTER, a planning tool for digital repositories. It discusses what a digital repository is, the importance of trust for repositories, and the challenge of establishing standards for trust given the lack of widely accepted ones. PLATTER aims to help repositories plan for trust by providing general principles, examples, and a process for setting repository-specific goals. It uses a framework of 10 core principles and 4 axes of characterization to guide strategic planning. The planning cycle in PLATTER is based on SMART objectives to help repositories systematically work towards established goals.
The Planets Testbed is a controlled environment for experimenting with and evaluating digital preservation tools and strategies using standardized metrics and content. It enables systematic experimentation, reproducibility of results, and comparison of preservation approaches. The Testbed was developed by organizations like NANETH, DELOS, and Planets to support scientific research in digital preservation. Current participants include national libraries and universities. The Testbed is integrated with the Planets Interoperability Framework and allows experimenters to access services, run preservation workflows, and automatically evaluate results. Future plans include expanding automated evaluation, integrating additional services like emulation, and opening the Testbed for use by external organizations.
