Filling the Digital Preservation Gap – how hard can that be?
Jenny Mitcham (Digital Archivist) - University of York@Jenny_Mitcham
Capability gap - Preservation isn't just throwing tools at the problemPERICLES conference - 30 November 2016
Digital preservation – too hard?
The problemDigital preservation:
We are already doing some stuff…
But we aren’t doing enough stuff
Visible v. invisible
Visible
Invisible
Most universities have a place to store data
The researcher
The researcher gives data to the repository
Access to the research data via the repository interface
But what about this bit?The Open Archival Information System
Data reuse will happen here The repository
ingests the data
Filling the digital preservation gap:Project aim
“…to investigate Archivematica and explore how it might be used to provide digital preservation functionality within a wider infrastructure for Research Data Management.”
But we’ve experienced some challenges along the way
Why are we doing this?
No one else sees this as a priority…why should
we?
This is too
risky
But we’ve experienced some challenges along the way
None of the solutions look
perfect
What about big data?
Let’s wait until someone else sorts this out
for us
But you haven’t considered this
use case
What about sensitive data?
A quick plug for tonight
This is why the Digital Preservation Awards are so important
Hope to see you there!
And its not just about selecting the right tool/s for the job
1. Selecting a tool is easy…working out how to implement it is hard
2. A technical solution is not a magic wand
Research Data YorkWhat does it do?• Provides an admin interface for RD staff• Pulls data from PURE and Archivematica• Tracks data deposit and preservation process• Initiates the creation of the DIP• Sends automated e-mails to data requestor• …data deletion after 10 years from last access
NDSA LevelsWhere actually are we?• For research data we are not yet at level 1
• For born digital archives we are not quite at level 2
Where to find out more
Thanks for listening
