Getting Started Questions Where are we now? How do we secure the bits? How can we capture information on the files we have? What risks does our data face? How can we record what we have? @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org sara.thomson@dpconline.org Illustration by J rgen Stamp digitalbevaring.dk CC BY 2.5 Denmark
Maturity Modelling Helps with: Identifying stress points/risks Setting objectives Prioritising developments Developing approach to advocacy Options include: NDSA Levels of Digital Preservation Digital Preservation Capability Maturity Model @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org sara.thomson@dpconline.org Illustration by J rgen Stamp digitalbevaring.dk CC BY 2.5 Denmark
Bit-Level Preservation Addresses risks such as: Media obsolescence Media failure Natural / human-made disaster As a minimum: Keep more than one copy Refresh storage media Integrity check your data (also called Fixity ) @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org sara.thomson@dpconline.org Illustration by J rgen Stamp digitalbevaring.dk CC BY 2.5 Denmark
Characterisation Understand your data so you can assess risks, plan, take action to preserve Characterisation: How many files? How big are the files? What file formats? Does it contain personal information? Is it encrypted? What risks are associated? Scale = automation = software tools @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org sara.thomson@dpconline.org Illustration by J rgen Stamp digitalbevaring.dk CC BY 2.5 Denmark
Risk Management Identifying risks is a key stage in successful digital preservation Useful for: Policy development Building a business case Identifying requirements Making preservation decisions IDENTIFY INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CONTEXT IDENTIFY RISKS MONITOR AND REVIEW COMMU- NICATE ANALYSE AND ASSESS RISKS MANAGE AND TREAT RISKS @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org sara.thomson@dpconline.org
Digital Asset Registers gathers information about digital content in one place logs preservation risks coordinates digital preservation actions & promotes best practice supports negotiations with management retains valuable knowledge @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org sara.thomson@dpconline.org
Making Progress on 3 Fronts Resources Organisation Technology @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org http://dpworkshop.org/dpm-eng/conclusion.html sara.thomson@dpconline.org
Resources What benefits will be accrued? How can we start to quantify costs? What should we put in our business case? @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org sara.thomson@dpconline.org Illustration by J rgen Stamp digitalbevaring.dk CC BY 2.5 Denmark
Organisation What should we put in our digital preservation policy? What skills do we need? @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org Illustration by J rgen Stamp digitalbevaring.dk CC BY 2.5 Denmark sara.thomson@dpconline.org
Technology What issues will affect our preservation decisions? What tools and methods can we consider using? @sdaythomson www.dpconline.org Illustration by J rgen Stamp digitalbevaring.dk CC BY 2.5 Denmark sara.thomson@dpconline.org
