Digital Preservation in the Context of Institutional Repositories.
Program, 2006Co-Authors: Helen Hockx-yuAbstract:Purpose – To discuss the issues and challenges of Digital Preservation facing institutional repositories and to illustrate the Joint Information Systems Committee's (JISC) view on institutional repositories and its key initiatives in helping UK institutions address these issues.Design/methodology/approach – A combination of published work and JISC documents (public facing or internal) were used as reference material.Findings – Digital Preservation is a complex process and there are still many unsolved issues which make it a challenging task for institutional repositories. However, the wide deployment of institutional repositories also provides new opportunities for Digital Preservation. Much could be done to consider Digital Preservation from the outset, to involve the authors and to embed Digital Preservation into repository workflow, which will ease the later Preservation tasks.Research limitations/implications – A number of ongoing JISC‐funded projects are briefly reported which explore different model...

Sustainability and Digital Preservation
2013Co-Authors: Edward M. Corrado, John MeadorAbstract:Technology, such as Ex Libris’s Rosetta Digital Preservation system, is an important part of Digital Preservation. However, it is but one part. Other aspects include policies, procedures, and financial planning. These administrative issues need to be in place to help assure long-term sustainability of any Digital Preservation program. This presentation will discuss ways in which Binghamton University is preparing sustainable Digital Preservation. Examples include ensuring that there are sustainable funding streams and administrative policies and procedures in place for long term Digital Preservation.

Digital Preservation Policy and Procedures
2013Co-Authors: Edward M. Corrado, Sandy CardAbstract:With Rosetta, Binghamton University Libraries has a robust long-term Digital Preservation technological solution. However, Digital Preservation is not just about technology. Sure, having a proper technological solution such as Rosetta is an important piece of the puzzle, but there are many other decisions that need to be made and policies and procedures that need to be implemented that are not necessarily technical in nature. This presentation will look at how Binghamton University Libraries has addressed some of these challenges. While Rosetta is the software Binghamton uses, it is hoped that this presentation will be useful to anyone who has or is considering a Digital Preservation program at their institution.

DG.O - Modeling Digital Preservation capabilities in enterprise architecture
Proceedings of the 12th Annual International Digital Government Research Conference on Digital Government Innovation in Challenging Times - dg.o '11, 2011Co-Authors: Christoph Becker, Jose Barateiro, Goncalo Antunes, Ricardo Vieira, Jose BorbinhaAbstract:The rising awareness of the challenges of preserving information over the long term has led to a wealth of initiatives developing economic models, methods, tools, systems, guidelines and standards for Digital Preservation. The challenge of Digital Preservation is to assure that information nowadays coded and stored in Digital formats can be read and be used in an unforeseen future. This is an interdisciplinary problem combining organizational and technical challenges. However, to date there is no unified view on how to approach the problem from a holistic perspective and align organizational and technical issues in a systems engineering approach. Organizations that aim to add Digital Preservation to their abilities generally have difficulties to assess their existing systems and what capabilities and components they are missing in order to address the needs of trustworthy information longevity. In this paper we present an approach that enables us to accommodate the concerns of Digital Preservation in Enterprise Architecture practice. We discuss key elements of a generic reference architecture for Digital Preservation and a capability model based on established domain-specific reference models. Distilling these knowledge sources into a consistent and coherent view allows baseline assessment and incremental capability development in typical IT governance scenarios where an IT architecture already exists. We illustrate this with the assessment of a government agency's existing capabilities and systems against emerging Digital Preservation requirements.

iPRES - A REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE FOR Digital Preservation
2010Co-Authors: Goncalo Antunes, Jose Barateiro, Jose BorbinhaAbstract:Apart from being a technological issue, Digital Preservation raises several organizational challeng es. These challenges are starting to be addressed in th e industrial design and e-Science domains, where emerging requirements cannot be addressed directly by OAIS. Thus, new approaches to design and assess Digital Preservation environments are required. We propose a Reference Architecture as a tool that can capture the essence of those emerging Preservation environments and provide ways of developing and deploying Preservation-enabled systems in organizations. This paper presents the main concept s from which a Reference Architecture for Digital Preservation can be built, along with an analysis o f the environment surrounding a Digital Preservation syst em. We present a concrete Reference Architecture, consisting of a process to derive concrete Digital Preservation architectures, which is supported by a n architecture framework for organizing architecture descriptions. In that way, organizations can be bet ter prepared to cope with the present and future challe nges of Digital Preservation.

designing Digital Preservation solutions a risk management based approach
International Journal of Digital Curation, 2010Co-Authors: Jose Barateiro, Goncalo Antunes, Filipe Freitas, Jose BorbinhaAbstract:Digital Preservation aims to keep Digital objects accessible over long periods of time, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of these Digital objects. In such complex environments, Risk Management is a key factor in assuring the normal behaviour of systems over time. Currently, the Digital Preservation arena commonly uses Risk Management concepts to assess repositories. In this paper, we intend to go further and propose a perspective where Risk Management can be used not only to assess existing solutions, but also to conceive Digital Preservation environments. Thus, we propose a Risk Management-based approach to design and assess Digital Preservation environments, including: • the definition of context and identification of strategic objectives to determine specific requirements and characterize which consequences are acceptable within the identified context; • the identification, analysis and evaluation of threats and vulnerabilities that may affect the normal behaviour of a specific business or the achievement of the goals and conformance to the requirements identified in the context characterization; and, • definition of actions to deal with the risks associated with the identified threats and vulnerabilities. We generalize and survey the main requirements, threats, vulnerabilities and techniques that can be applied in the scope of Digital Preservation.

securing the irods metadata catalog for Digital Preservation
European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries, 2009Co-Authors: Goncalo Antunes, Jose BarateiroAbstract:Digital Preservation is the ability to retrieve, access, and use Digital objects through time, while ensuring the authenticity and integrity properties of these objects. Data grids represent a model of storage systems designed for data management and sharing, which concept also has been proposed for Digital Preservation. However, since data grids are not specifically designed for this purpose, they present weaknesses that have to be handled. This poster will present a set of services to address a problem in the metadata catalogue of the iRODS data grid, strengthening that platform for Digital Preservation purposes.

Addressing Digital Preservation: Proposals for New Perspectives
2009Co-Authors: Jose Barateiro, Goncalo Antunes, Jose BorbinhaAbstract:Preservation aims at maintaining Digital objects accessible over long periods of time, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of these Digital objects. In this paper, we propose three different approaches to address the Digital Preservation problem. First, we survey the main requirements specific to the Preservation arena. Next, we show how Digital Preservation can be approached as a specific case of System of Systems Engineering. Then, we introduce Enterprise Architecture as a framework which is regularly used to assist information systems design and maintenance, but can also be applied to System of Systems and consequently to Digital Preservation. Finally, in such complex environments, Risk Management is a key factor to assure the normal behavior of systems along time. Thus, we propose a Risk Management based approach to design and assess Digital Preservation environments, enclosing the definition of context and requirements, and the identification of threats and vulnerabilities, to be used as the basis of the definition of actions to deal with the risks associated with those threats and vulnerabilities. We generalize and survey the threats, vulnerabilities and techniques that can be applied in the scope of Digital Preservation.

Modeling the Value of Digital Preservation Activities
Procedia Computer Science, 2016Co-Authors: Diogo Proença, José Tribolet, Jose BorbinhaAbstract:Abstract Digital Preservation has emerged as a key challenge for information systems in many domains and is often seen as a case of interoperability through time. However, the complexity and change rate of common environments and information representations today have the effect that this interoperability is rarely achieved. In order to successfully address this issue we must look at the organizational challenges that Digital Preservation poses to organizations such as identifying and modeling all the value transactions that happen in certain organizational scenarios regarding the ingestion, archival and dissemination or reuse of Digital objects, environments and libraries. It is only within a well-defined framework that deployment of any Digital Preservation techniques will successfully yield value to the organization in the form of continually useful and accessible information. In this paper we define the value model for the Digital Preservation business based on best practice from this domain, namely the ISO14721 and best practice from the Enterprise Engineering and Value Modelling domains, which include DEMO and e3value.

KEOD - A Digital Preservation-Legal Ontology
Proceedings of the International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development, 2014Co-Authors: Marzieh Bakhshandeh, Goncalo Antunes, Barbara Kolany-raiser, Silviya-aleksandrova Yankova, Artur Caetano, Jose BorbinhaAbstract:Digital Preservation has the goal of ensuring long-term access to data, enabling future users not only to benefit from todayâs knowledge, but also to reuse such knowledge. Therefore, the Digital Preservation of a business process has the aim of enabling the use of the preserved process data so that its re-execution is possible. Law is becoming an essential application domain for technology developments, such as Digital Preservation. For instance, the Digital Preservation of copyright protected data might infringe the exclusive rights of the copyright holder. However, problems with the legal domain can arise since DP users and law-makers do not share the same perspective and concepts. Ontologies can be used to improve communication and shared understanding, giving rise to greater reuse, sharing, transparency, and interoperability. This paper presents a legal ontology that provides a hierarchical overview of how legal constraints and obligations (e.g. IP rights and licensing issues) could be enforced automatically in DP systems. The correctness of our legal ontology is validated with a set of competency questions defined in a specific case study. The aim is to obtain a clearer taxonomical view of the necessary legal knowledge that will address the concerns of industrial use-case DP stakeholders.
