Experts exchange their practical knowledge and experiences on digital preservation

Day 1 – 19.10.2011
"GETTING READY FOR DIGITAL PRESERVATION"

The necessary “preparations” and fundamental decisions are the most underestimated challenges of digital preservation. But especially those tasks are bumps in the road which, if they aren’t addressed early on, will remain constant challenges through the process of digital preservation.

For those reasons the first block of the conference is dedicated to different aspects of necessary preparations and fundamental decisions. Experiences made in daily work of libraries and archives are presented and ways of dealing with challenges are communicated to the attendees.

The following questions should be answered in this block:

  • How can a meaningful contextual and technical selection of holdings for digital preservation be made?
  • Which collections and digital objects should be dealt with first?
  • What expectations do users have in digital preservation? What do those expectations mean for the digital preservation process?
  • Should objects be normalized before ingest / when entering the collection? If so, how? What are recommended formats?
  • What gaps exist between existing digital preservation systems and institutional requirements?
  • What risks exist for different types of data and material?
  • What does the implementation of digital preservation mean for an institution? Which steps need to be considered? What are the challenges?
  • Which aspects of digital preservation are unanswered as of today / what are the main areas of further development, research and action?

Day 2 – 20.10.2011
THE INGEST PROCESS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIGITAL MATERIAL

Ingest describes the entire process of information transfer into the digital archive. The focus of this presentation block will be practitioner reports about experiences made in the development and implementation of ingest workflows for different types of material.

Experiences made in daily work of libraries and archives are presented and ways of dealing with challenges are communicated to the attendees.

The following questions should be answered in this block:

  • What tools were used as part of the ingest process of digital materials?
  • Is ingest considered a separate process or a sub-process as part of a workflow for digital preservation?
  • How is a SIP formed and which contents does it contain?
  • Which metadata is included, how is the metadata gathered and how is it integrated into the ingest?
  • Which concrete tasks, technical and organisational processes and structures are included in the ingest process at different organisations?
  • Are all processes completed in-house or are external partners part of the process?
