DCC Curation Lifecycle Model The model enables granular functionality to be mapped against it: to define roles and responsibilities and build a framework of standards and technologies to implement. It can be used to help identify additional steps that may be required – or actions not required by certain situations or disciplines – and to ensure that processes and policies are adequately documented.

This includes: Databases: structured collections of records or data stored in a computer system. Preservation Planning Plan for preservation throughout the curation lifecycle of digital material.

Archival Metadata Wendy Duff & Marlene van Ballegooie, University of Toronto Published: May 2006 Archivists and records managers have always been metadata experts. Archivists create finding aids, file lists, inventories, registers, catalog records, calendars of correspondence, published repository guides, and file plans. Records managers also capture metadata about their organisation's records in their records systems and related tools. All of these products of description contain recordkeeping metadata - descriptive information about the content, context and form of records. This type of metadata has long been used by researchers to identify, locate and interpret records. The purpose of this instalment is to provide an introduction to archival metadata and its potential in supporting the preservation and reuse of digital data and information.

In the Digital Era, Publication Isn’t Preservation Publication used to mean preservation but it no longer does. Let me explain. When a print book is published its metadata is literally attached to its content. First of all, it’s not always readily obvious that the metadata is correct. Digital archivists have a lot to say on this matter, as they have been dealing with the instability of digital files (not to mention evolving file formats, software, storage and hardware issues) for years. In response to the perceived (read: false) assumption that in the digital age we are over-archiving our lives, “anti-archival” seems to be garnering support. Catherine C. The codex – the “print” book as we know it – was a major technological innovation for many reasons, and it has lasted so long as a delivery technology (copies, too, have lasted so long) because it is so stable. Which brings me, finally, to my point: Digital publication doesn’t just look different from print publication, it is by nature less stable. Related Posts: No Related Posts Found
