* Winston Atkins

== Meet Those New to the Group ==
* Bethany Nowviskie, Director of DLF since April 2015
* Oliver Bendorf, Program Associate, DLF since August 2015

== Update on the NDSA Transition to DLF Hosting (Bethany, Oliver, Erin) ==
* Independent NDSA website in development - will launch in January 2016
* Listserv in transition - will launch in January 2016
* Working group calls will use DLF's uber conference account - will be set up by January 2016
* DLF has started planning for the annual NDSA meeting which will be hooked onto the DLF forum in early November 2016
* The wiki is being transitioned over - should be ready the first week of January 2016 - will have the same look and feel

== Report out on the CNI Panel Discussion ('''NDSA on the Move''', Bethany and Oliver) ==
* Summary of the panel
** Representatives from the Coordinating Committee (Micah, Robin, Abby) talked about why DLF was chosen
** Bethany and Oliver from DLF talked about why they answered the call
* Summary of the feedback at CNI:
** A terrain map of how DLF, CLIR, NDSA and others fit together is needed
** People want ot know how to get more involved with the NDSA WGs
** People have preferred the practical NDSA products over the theoretical

== Discussion of Standards and Practices WG for Feedback for DLF ==
* What WG things have you liked?
** Several people said the Levels of Preservation and Fixity report
** Knowing that we all have the same issues
** Cross-WG activities
** Collaborative nature of the group
** Want to continue to try to collaborate with commercial companies
* Any feedback on the monthly calls? Should they be monthly or scheduled as needed to work on projects?
** Several people said that they liked having monthly calls. One reason given is that it provides a beneficial pressure to get things done.
** Several liked the showcases (e.g. speakers on video, digital art, email)
** A couple people thought the WG would benefit from adding agenda planning meetings a few times a year to brainstorm topics, which would also take some of the burden off the co-chairs
** We have occasionally had 'what are you working on' calls when we did not have agendas but we could make this a more programmatic part of the WG agenda. These calls also lead to us hearing from those that don't always speak up
** Would like to introduce icebreaker calls periodically to the WG, e.g. what is currently keeping you up at night?
* What did not work?
** When we have had sub-groups (e.g. for video or email) it is too hard to participate in the discussion (yet another list to follow) - these should come back together with the main WG
** Some of our projects have been too large, or too small (nothing produced from them). The medium-sized projects have worked well for the WG but it may not be possible to predict this in advance.
** There is value in the conversation even if nothing is produced from it
* What do people think about the Coordinating Committee's idea to recast the WGs as interest groups?
** One person said that interest groups might be good - this person said she has lost sight of what this WG does

== Wrap-up ==
* Reminder that there is a call for new co-chairs. Please contact Erin, Kate or Andrea if you are interested or want to nominate someone (with their consent).
* Next call TBD

== Q&A ==

Q1. I haven't heard of people talk about using emulation for archived email. Have you done any work on this or are you starting to explore it?

A1. I have opened a PST in an emulated Outlook but haven't tried to show it within the context of the whole email account which would be interesting. With email there are some issues - the appraisal of it and the scale of it.

NDSA:Standards and Best Practices Working Group

2015-12-27T19:28:51Z

Andrea goethals: /* Meeting Schedules, Minutes and Agendas */

= Standards and Practices Working Group =

[[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Charter ]] (December 10, 2010)

= Current Members =
A list of current members is posted here: [[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Members]].

= Statement of Purpose =

The Standards and Practices Working Group will work to facilitate a community-wide understanding of the role and benefit of standards in digital preservation and how to use them effectively to ensure durable and usable collections. The Group will also develop, recommend, promote, and disseminate information about effective methods for selecting, organizing, describing, managing, preserving and serving digital content, in collaboration with other individuals and organizations where appropriate.

= Current Projects =

Working group members may initiate and engage in new work at any time by forming Action Teams focused on specific projects or tasks.

== [[NDSA:iPRES 2015 Poster Proposal]] ==

During the [[NDSA:April 20, 2015 Standards & Practices Working Group Notes]], wg members brainstormed on a poster proposal reflecting S&P work and activities.

== TDR Self-assessment and Audit: Understanding options for addressing standards and requirements ==


* [[NDSA:TDR Self-assessment and Audit: Understanding Options for Addressing Standards and Requirements| Project Charter]]

With the release of ISO 16363 that specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories, the digital community would benefit from a review of current options for organizations to demonstrate comformance and from ongoing monitoring as options emerge and evolve.

== Digital video exploration ==

* [[NDSA:Digital video exploration]]
* [[NDSA:Digital video exploration meeting notes]]
* [[NDSA:Survey drafting team members]]
* [[NDSA:Digital Video Survey Distribution List]]
* [[NDSA:Video survey announcement text]]

= Past Projects =

== Digital Preservation Wikipedia ==
This is an ambitious and on-going project using Wikipedia to promote the use of digital preservation standards and best practices. The objectives are to:
* identify and describe '''existing''' digital preservation standards and best practices
* identify '''gaps''' in digital preservation standards and best practices coverage that could be addressed by this working group in collaboration with others
* sustain this activity by building a community of Wikipedians to join us in this activity

The categories of digital preservation standards and best practices we will focus on include: Content models, Content packaging, Content transfer, Digital preservation strategies and techniques, Digital preservation terms and concepts, File formats, Encodings, Metadata exchange, Metadata schemas, Repository architecture, Repository certification and trustworthiness, Repository operations, Repository policies

Status of activities and deliverables:

* creation of Digital Preservation "WikiProject" within Wikipedia as an umbrella for collaborating with others on this project -- '''COMPLETE 6/2012'''
* redevelop the current Wikipedia "Digital Preservation" page so that it can serve as an appropriate launch page to more detailed information about standards and best practices -- '''IN PROGRESS, 11/2012-'''

* create / update pages describing current standards and best practices in the field of digital preservation
* consult with others involved in digital preservation to encourage their input and contributions to the effort
* report back to the NDSA steering committee with updates and proposals as to how to continue this effort into the future

== Items related to the exploration of the challenges of preserving PDFs, especially PDF/A documents, including PDF/A-3 ==

* [[NDSA:PDF Exploration]]

One of the great strengths of PDF, including the recent PDF/A-3 standard, is its ability to contain a variety of sometimes complex digital objects within a single file. Long term preservation of these files, however, can be problematic because current digital preservation tools are not able to consistently identify the existence of the embedded content nor identify its format. The NDSA Standards sub group is interested in exploring the boundaries of applicability for PDF in preservation environments, especially as a carrier of complex formats such as audio, video and geospatial information.

The interest in this project grew out of a Signal blog post on PDF/A-3 by Butch Lazorchak (LOC) about embedded files in PDF/A (http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/11/all-in-embedded-files-in-pdfa/) as well as discussions between NARA and depositing agencies who are starting to use PDF/A-3 as a de facto normalization wrapper format to contain many media types including audio and video. Caroline Arms (LOC) has already produced a helpful background document to kick start this work.

'''Presentation: "Emulation and Virtualization for Digital Preservation and Access" '''

Listen to recording for presentation, starting around the 5:30 mark

Recording: [https://locosi-its.webex.com/locosi-its/lsr.php?RCID=c4d26cf5bc283fe7e1ebcbe851cc7c53 https://locosi-its.webex.com/locosi-its/lsr.php?RCID=c4d26cf5bc283fe7e1ebcbe851cc7c53]

'''Q&A Afterwards:'''

Q1. I haven't heard of people talk about using emulation for archived email. Have you done any work on this or are you starting to explore it?

A1. I have opened a PST in an emulated Outlook but haven't tried to show it within the context of the whole email account which would be interesting. With email there are some issues - the appraisal of it and the scale of it.

Q2. What are your current biggest challenges in taking this to the next step?

A2. One thing that is needed and being worked on and not necessarily a challenge is adding an authentication layer on top of the EaaS. Some of the biggest challenges are having access to the software and the legal right to use it, and funding the ongoing maintenance of the emulators.

Q3. Are there issues scaling this, for example to all born-digital content?

A3. There are different things that need to scale - one is the technology. A low-hanging fruit would be to set up emulators for all the old word processing formats.

Q4. Can you say more about emulation and redaction? At what scale can you redact (file level, sub-file)?

A5. You can redact at the level of a file by deleting files from a disk and re-saving it as a derivative image. Or you could do something similar by removing parts of a file. One solution might be using BitCurator to filter the content and redact pieces and then using emulation on the redacted version. Derivative images don't take much room.

== Wrap-up ==
The next call is September 21 from 1-2 ET. The agenda may include an update on the new NDSA host. The call will be on the theme of web archiving - recent conferences, current projects, etc. If you would like to be a presenter conteact Andrea, Erin or Kate.

* Martin Kong (Chicago State Univ., in Infrastructure WG)

== Announcements and Updates ==
# Video survey update - the blog post should go up in early September. The survey data will be published on the NDSA Dataverse site
# There will be an announcement in the next few weeks from the Coordinating Committee on the next NDSA host
# Our iPRES poster was accepted. There's still time to join the group working on it (email Erin).
# At iPRES there will be a reception hosted by DPN on Wed. evening Nov. 4. At that reception there will be recognition of the NDSA Innovation awardees.

== Special Presenter: Euan Cochrane, Digital Preservation Manager at Yale University Libraries ==
'''Presentation: "Emulation and Virtualization for Digital Preservation and Access" (See recording for presentation)'''

Q&A Afterwards:

Q1. I haven't heard of people talk about using emulation for archived email. Have you done any work on this or are you starting to explore it?

A1. I have opened a PST in an emulated Outlook but haven't tried to show it within the context of the whole email account which would be interesting. With email there are some issues - the appraisal of it and the scale of it.

Q2. What are your current biggest challenges in taking this to the next step?

A2. One thing that is needed and being worked on and not necessarily a challenge is adding an authentication layer on top of the EaaS. Some of the biggest challenges are having access to the software and the legal right to use it, and funding the ongoing maintenance of the emulators.

Q3. Are there issues scaling this, for example to all born-digital content?

A3. There are different things that need to scale - one is the technology. A low-hanging fruit would be to set up emulators for all the old word processing formats.

Q4. Can you say more about emulation and redaction? At what scale can you redact (file level, sub-file)?

A5. You can redact at the level of a file by deleting files from a disk and re-saving it as a derivative image. Or you could do something similar by removing parts of a file. One solution might be using BitCurator to filter the content and redact pieces and then using emulation on the redacted version. Derivative images don't take much room.

== Wrap-up ==
The next call is September 21 from 1-2 ET. The agenda may include an update on the new NDSA host. The call will be on the theme of web archiving - recent conferences, current projects, etc. If you would like to be a presenter conteact Andrea, Erin or Kate.

NDSA:Standards and Best Practices Working Group

2015-08-17T18:20:41Z

Andrea goethals: /* Meeting Schedules, Minutes and Agendas */

= Standards and Practices Working Group =

[[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Charter ]] (December 10, 2010)

= Current Members =
A list of current members is posted here: [[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Members]].

= Statement of Purpose =

The Standards and Practices Working Group will work to facilitate a community-wide understanding of the role and benefit of standards in digital preservation and how to use them effectively to ensure durable and usable collections. The Group will also develop, recommend, promote, and disseminate information about effective methods for selecting, organizing, describing, managing, preserving and serving digital content, in collaboration with other individuals and organizations where appropriate.

= Current Projects =

Working group members may initiate and engage in new work at any time by forming Action Teams focused on specific projects or tasks.

== [[NDSA:iPRES 2015 Poster Proposal]] ==

During the [[NDSA:April 20, 2015 Standards & Practices Working Group Notes]], wg members brainstormed on a poster proposal reflecting S&P work and activities.

== TDR Self-assessment and Audit: Understanding options for addressing standards and requirements ==


* [[NDSA:TDR Self-assessment and Audit: Understanding Options for Addressing Standards and Requirements| Project Charter]]

With the release of ISO 16363 that specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories, the digital community would benefit from a review of current options for organizations to demonstrate comformance and from ongoing monitoring as options emerge and evolve.

== Digital video exploration ==

* [[NDSA:Video survey announcement text]]

= Past Projects =

== Digital Preservation Wikipedia ==
This is an ambitious and on-going project using Wikipedia to promote the use of digital preservation standards and best practices. The objectives are to:
* identify and describe '''existing''' digital preservation standards and best practices
* identify '''gaps''' in digital preservation standards and best practices coverage that could be addressed by this working group in collaboration with others
* sustain this activity by building a community of Wikipedians to join us in this activity

The categories of digital preservation standards and best practices we will focus on include: Content models, Content packaging, Content transfer, Digital preservation strategies and techniques, Digital preservation terms and concepts, File formats, Encodings, Metadata exchange, Metadata schemas, Repository architecture, Repository certification and trustworthiness, Repository operations, Repository policies

Status of activities and deliverables:

* creation of Digital Preservation "WikiProject" within Wikipedia as an umbrella for collaborating with others on this project -- '''COMPLETE 6/2012'''
* redevelop the current Wikipedia "Digital Preservation" page so that it can serve as an appropriate launch page to more detailed information about standards and best practices -- '''IN PROGRESS, 11/2012-'''

* create / update pages describing current standards and best practices in the field of digital preservation
* consult with others involved in digital preservation to encourage their input and contributions to the effort
* report back to the NDSA steering committee with updates and proposals as to how to continue this effort into the future

== Items related to the exploration of the challenges of preserving PDFs, especially PDF/A documents, including PDF/A-3 ==

* [[NDSA:PDF Exploration]]

One of the great strengths of PDF, including the recent PDF/A-3 standard, is its ability to contain a variety of sometimes complex digital objects within a single file. Long term preservation of these files, however, can be problematic because current digital preservation tools are not able to consistently identify the existence of the embedded content nor identify its format. The NDSA Standards sub group is interested in exploring the boundaries of applicability for PDF in preservation environments, especially as a carrier of complex formats such as audio, video and geospatial information.

The interest in this project grew out of a Signal blog post on PDF/A-3 by Butch Lazorchak (LOC) about embedded files in PDF/A (http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/11/all-in-embedded-files-in-pdfa/) as well as discussions between NARA and depositing agencies who are starting to use PDF/A-3 as a de facto normalization wrapper format to contain many media types including audio and video. Caroline Arms (LOC) has already produced a helpful background document to kick start this work.

== Brainstorming Notes from 4/20 Call ==

Thanks to all for the great brainstorming session for our planned Standards and Practices “In the Thicket of It” poster for iPRES. Using the graphical representation of a long-living hardwood like a bristlecone pine tree, our members names would serve as nutrients in the soil for the roots (representing aggregated membership groups such as academic libraries, government, non-profits, etc). Main trunks would represent major areas explored within our group such as standards, unique content classes, and physical media. Smaller branches off the main trunks would be specific projects – such as the PDF/A report for the standards, optical media for the physical media, software based art for content classes, etc.

Each project would list (via bullets in leaves or other easy to read display) how it came to be, what the main area of discussions were and what the outputs were (reports, discussion, blog posts, etc).

The poster name “In the Thicket of It” (which Kate just made up after the call and is by no means the final name) could refer to both the botanical representation of the data in tree form but also our main message: S&P members are active practitioners – right in the thick of it, get it? – working on moving the work forward on real world issues. We would want to showcase that the needs of the group germinate in conversations, the results of which are resources and activities that benefit not only the working group members but also the community-at-large.

== Brainstorming Notes from 5/18 Call ==
*“In the Thicket of It” – title

*Points to address in the abstract:
**Who we are: Active practitioners in the DP space
**How our projects are generated: Issues and concerns that we come across in our daily work
**How we address our work: Group comes together, consensus on working on issues, that are helpful to the larger community, not just NDSA
**What’s coming up: Show opportunities for growth and future work

*Is this grassroots effort focus in the DP or focused on NDSA S&P work?

*Examples of possible design: Bristle-cone pine (soft tree), apple or fruit tree (ripe vs not yet ripe), tree branches (buds, buds growing). Represent what we have worked on vs what has been identified

*Information to display in the design:
**Problem statement and brief statement of how we addressed it
**Lengths of projects – 2010- present
**Title, URL, date
**More background information “in the soil” – last month we thought to include member institutions in the soil. Or members could be roots and soil could be info.
**Branch could list the main issue of the topic (ex. A/V), and the fruit could the project, outcome or product (ex. Video survey).
**S&P Projects – what have we done? What have we identified that we have yet to work on?

*Information to include in the abstract:
**Identify S&P projects – issues and outcomes
**Develop a narrative

*Volunteers to help with the abstract??????
**Kate Murray – first draft
**Karl Jackson
**Winston Atkins – first draft
**Carol Kussmann

*Action items:
**Kate and Winston will work on abstract and send to this group (poster team) in 10 days – June 1

== Andrea's Notes after Reviewing the Minutes ==
I went through all the call notes and found some things we can add. Some of these are projects or discussions we didn't mention yet in the abstract; others are more information to add to projects we did already mention in the abstract.

=== Projects to add ===
* A survey of the standards, metadata schemas, and formats related to digital preservation
** We didn't produce any public deliverables from this - they are only listed on our private wiki in various places and in a Google doc.
** Ultimately we ended up reshaping this project to work on the digital preservation article in Wikipedia but we put a lot of work into this and we could come back to this at some point to share it or continue to work on it
* A discussion of the packaging of content and metadata, for example BagIt, METS, MXF
** The notes for this are at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=February_24,_2014_Standards_%26_Practices_Working_Group_Notes
* We actually had 2 different video-related activities:
** A discussion about video including FADGI activities on an application specification and guiding principles, institutional projects (NYU, Stanford, Harvard), and the AVPreserve perspective
** The deep dive survey (identifying the stumbling blocks in preserving video)
* Similar to video, besides the email archiving interest group, we had demos of email archiving tools

=== These aren't projects but maybe we can fit them in somewhere ===
* Our members attend a lot of different conferences and we have shared highlights from many of them: Screening the Future Conference, Digital Directions, CurateCamp, Digital Preservation, IFLA, iPRES, LC Storage Meeting, Research Data Alliance, AMIA, ICA, DLF, IASA
* Our members periodically share updates on projects they are working on outside of the NDSA. These have included the UDFR, the Academic Preservation Trust, data management guides, DPN, repository self-assessments, a Drupal-based TRAC tool and many different institutional projects.

=== More information about some of the projects ===
* For the Levels of Preservation project we can say that members made presentations about it at IS&T Archiving 2013, the 2013 NE NDSA Regional Workshop, the 2013 SAA Annual Conference, and iPRES 2013.
* For the Staffing Survey we can say that it was reused for a survey of UN members.
* An approach for implementing the OAIS Reference Model and the derived Trustworthy Repository Auditing & Certification metrics (TRAC) in a distributed digital preservation (DDP) environment. This was a joint project by the Educopia Institute and the NDSA
** More information is at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=DDP_OAIS_Frameworks

=== Here are more topics we wanted to look at in the future, for our future projects section ===
* Repository certifications, especially those conducted through peer review
* Which standards are being adopted
* Preservation terms of service / SLAs
* Sustainability of our tools
* Preservation of social media

* Our members periodically share updates on projects they are working on outside of the NDSA. These have included the UDFR, the Academic Preservation Trust, data management guides, DPN, repository self-assessments, a Drupal-based TRAC tool and many different institutional projects.

=== More information about some of the projects ===
* For the Levels of Preservation project we can say that members made presentations about it at IS&T Archiving 2013, the 2013 NE NDSA Regional Workshop, the 2013 SAA Annual Conference, and iPRES 2013.
* For the Staffing Survey we can say that it was reused for a survey of UN members.

=== Here are more topics we wanted to look at in the future, for our future projects section ===
* Repository certifications, especially those conducted through peer review
* Which standards are being adopted
* Preservation terms of service / SLAs
* Sustainability of our tools
* Preservation of social media

== Brainstorming Notes from 4/20 Call ==

Thanks to all for the great brainstorming session for our planned Standards and Practices “In the Thicket of It” poster for iPRES. Using the graphical representation of a long-living hardwood like a bristlecone pine tree, our members names would serve as nutrients in the soil for the roots (representing aggregated membership groups such as academic libraries, government, non-profits, etc). Main trunks would represent major areas explored within our group such as standards, unique content classes, and physical media. Smaller branches off the main trunks would be specific projects – such as the PDF/A report for the standards, optical media for the physical media, software based art for content classes, etc.

Each project would list (via bullets in leaves or other easy to read display) how it came to be, what the main area of discussions were and what the outputs were (reports, discussion, blog posts, etc).

The poster name “In the Thicket of It” (which Kate just made up after the call and is by no means the final name) could refer to both the botanical representation of the data in tree form but also our main message: S&P members are active practitioners – right in the thick of it, get it? – working on moving the work forward on real world issues. We would want to showcase that the needs of the group germinate in conversations, the results of which are resources and activities that benefit not only the working group members but also the community-at-large.

== Brainstorming Notes from 5/18 Call ==
*“In the Thicket of It” – title

*Points to address in the abstract:
**Who we are: Active practitioners in the DP space
**How our projects are generated: Issues and concerns that we come across in our daily work
**How we address our work: Group comes together, consensus on working on issues, that are helpful to the larger community, not just NDSA
**What’s coming up: Show opportunities for growth and future work

*Is this grassroots effort focus in the DP or focused on NDSA S&P work?

*Examples of possible design: Bristle-cone pine (soft tree), apple or fruit tree (ripe vs not yet ripe), tree branches (buds, buds growing). Represent what we have worked on vs what has been identified

*Information to display in the design:
**Problem statement and brief statement of how we addressed it
**Lengths of projects – 2010- present
**Title, URL, date
**More background information “in the soil” – last month we thought to include member institutions in the soil. Or members could be roots and soil could be info.
**Branch could list the main issue of the topic (ex. A/V), and the fruit could the project, outcome or product (ex. Video survey).
**S&P Projects – what have we done? What have we identified that we have yet to work on?

*Information to include in the abstract:
**Identify S&P projects – issues and outcomes
**Develop a narrative

*Volunteers to help with the abstract??????
**Kate Murray – first draft
**Karl Jackson
**Winston Atkins – first draft
**Carol Kussmann

*Action items:
**Kate and Winston will work on abstract and send to this group (poster team) in 10 days – June 1

== Andrea's Notes after Reviewing the Minutes ==
I went through all the call notes and found some things we can add. Some of these are projects or discussions we didn't mention yet in the abstract; others are more information to add to projects we did already mention in the abstract.

* A survey of the standards, metadata schemas, and formats related to digital preservation
** We didn't produce any public deliverables from this - they are only listed on our private wiki in various places and in a Google doc.
** Ultimately we ended up reshaping this project to work on the digital preservation article in Wikipedia but we put a lot of work into this and we could come back to this at some point to share it or continue to work on it
* A discussion of the packaging of content and metadata, for example BagIt, METS, MXF
** The notes for this are at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=February_24,_2014_Standards_%26_Practices_Working_Group_Notes
* We actually had 2 different video-related activities:
** A discussion about video including FADGI activities on an application specification and guiding principles, institutional projects (NYU, Stanford, Harvard), and the AVPreserve perspective
** The deep dive survey (identifying the stumbling blocks in preserving video)
* An approach for implementing the OAIS Reference Model and the derived Trustworthy Repository Auditing & Certification metrics (TRAC) in a distributed digital preservation (DDP) environment. This was a joint project by the Educopia Institute and the NDSA
** More information is at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=DDP_OAIS_Frameworks
* Similar to video, besides the email archiving interest group, we had demos of email archiving tools
* Our members attend a lot of different conferences and we have shared highlights from many of them: Screening the Future Conference, Digital Directions, CurateCamp, Digital Preservation, IFLA, iPRES, LC Storage Meeting, Research Data Alliance, AMIA, ICA, DLF, IASA
* Our members periodically share updates on projects they are working on outside of the NDSA. These have included the UDFR, the Academic Preservation Trust, data management guides, DPN, repository self-assessments, a Drupal-based TRAC tool and institutional projects.

NDSA:February 23, 2014 Standards and Practices Working Group Notes

2015-02-24T17:51:40Z

Andrea goethals:

Notes: Joey Heinen, Harvard Library

== Administrivia (New member introductions) ==

== Announcements and Project Updates ==
* Video Survey Update - blog post on challenges in managing video collection forthcoming, a “next steps” meeting is soon to occur and participation is welcome, e-mail NDSA Standards and Practices group if interested.

== Today’s discussion topic: Issues, challenges and solutions for cataloging AV collections Pt 1 ==
Chris Lacinak AVPS: tool demo, due to time constraints could only cover AVCC and Catalyst, MediaSCORE and AMS info available upon request.

Both AVCC and Catalyst are web-based and browser-based tools, login can occur remotely. Both live on web servers and are viewable in any browser. Multiple licenses can access the server simultaneously. The tools are both designed for item-level inventory and description with slightly different purposes but are both intended to galvanize group efforts around gaining intellectual control over A/V collections. AVCC (Audio Visual Collaborative Cataloging) is built with the idea of empowering volunteer workforce with a more generic approach towards workflow whereas Catalyst is more prescriptive, designed around a specific workflow. Catalyst also requires more initial set-up for implementation.

=== AVCC ===
Initial designs by AVPS, brought to Metro who provided additional funding for development, created proof-of-concept design, beta-testing, continued work with Library of Congress to refine applications.
User is presented with the main dashboard upon login. Some significant features:
* count by format
* create separate projects (useful for auditing and progress reporting)
* commercial vs. unique (provides a sense of object rarity)
* overview of storage capacity (linear footage, file size, a key for how these numbers are calculated)

Users can then navigate to the Records module. Some significant features:
* listing of all item-level records
* Add records
* Set media type: Audio, Film, Video
* Controlled list of formats (dependent on media type that is selected, required field)
* Review button for flagging and sorting records for administrative approval or auditing as necessary.

Additional Features/Benefits
The Project feature for organizing records based on their affiliation to a project can be good for auditing later on, ensuring controlled vocabulary, creating good feedback loops throughout the process, reviewing and solidifying workflows as issues arise, etc.

The option exists for duplicate records for collections that are of a similar format or which share other similar descriptive/technical characteristics. This can help make the cataloging process more efficient.
Bulk editing records is possible, though a common media type must be identified.
Records are stamped with a username, modified date and time for auditing purposes.
Removing unwanted fields requires a show/hide feature, cannot be deleted nor can fields be added as these are linked to fixed reporting functions.

Edit base allows for modifying of fields. Fields can also be scored (1 to 5) for prioritization in reporting.
Search/filter by title, format, etc.
Import/export features allows for csv or xlsx formats, can merge records into existing datasets or combine separate imported datasets so long as a unique identifier is shared across.
Reporting options: All records, prioritization report (based on score), manifest (box number, shipment batches, etc.), file size calculator (planning for digitization), linear feet, etc.
Nightly inventory back-up can be scheduled daily, e-mails a full export of the records which can download from the cloud.

=== Catalyst ===
This tool was developed as a solution to cataloging disparate and disorganized collections that may be geographically separate or within different depositories. The impetus for this project was through the New Jersey Network whose archival funding shifted and resulted in neglected and obscured A/V collections, needed to regain intellectual control over their holdings.

The most distinctive features is the workflow which involves photographing objects and linking them to catalog records. The images are in service of progressive “layers” of cataloging, starting with more generic ways of grouping content and then creating more granular data as is desired or deemed appropriate based on content or the associated collection. QA of cataloging is a benefit since the image serves as back-up and auditing the results of the cataloger are more immediate, rapid and iterative description (first pass helps to reveal what series exist, can go back and put more layers of description on top of collections deemed more valuable or at-risk).
Upon upload of the photo, a record is created and marked as “unassigned” which allows the user to catalog additional fields. Some data is generated automatically, mostly administrative or related to the upload. Records or groups of records can be assigned to specific catalogers based on their account in order to streamline the process.
Records can be flagged for approval such that an extra QC step can occur, records marked as “pass” or “fail” and metrics applied for the overall collection to gauge progress.

Project update (record, data-entry statuses), how many records are photographed (by date, team, format, similar auditing and feedback loops as offered in AVCC.
Fields can be added, edited, or moved.
Catalyst is not intended for collection management as it is designed for created a first order of intellectual control to large collections and inventorying, collection management will likely occur in a different system. Data can be exported along with the media (container photographs) and can be imported and merged to maintain these relationships (provided the destination system is able to contain images of the objects along with the record).

=== Questions: ===
* Andrea Goethals wondered if both AVCC and Catalyst could be used in conjunction.
Chris Licinak: data could be mapped to the spreadsheet format for AVCC and imported (though no support for images exists in AVCC)
* Carl Fleischhauer wanted to know more about the cloud service and support fees
Chris Lacinak: Both tools are open-source, AVCC can be downloaded off of github. Both tools need to be hosted on a server, can be added as a service through the tools. Catalyst and AVCC operate within a similar technology stack. AVCC could be run on an institution’s own server if preferred.
* John Spencer asked is it possible to store the catalog back-ups and exports within the cloud and the extent to which this data is easily decoupled from the internal structure of the tools.
Chris Lacinak: Full data set decoupling is a major part of the design

== Upcoming sessions ==
March 16, convo pt. 2
Follow up e-mails regarding the tools can be sent directly Chris Lacinak.

The images are in service of progressive “layers” of cataloging, starting with more generic ways of grouping content and then creating more granular data as is desired or deemed appropriate based on content or the associated collection. QA of cataloging is a benefit since the image serves as back-up and auditing the results of the cataloger are more immediate, rapid and iterative description (first pass helps to reveal what series exist, can go back and put more layers of description on top of collections deemed more valuable or at-risk).
Upon upload of the photo, a record is created and marked as “unassigned” which allows the user to catalog additional fields. Some data is generated automatically, mostly administrative or related to the upload. Records or groups of records can be assigned to specific catalogers based on their account in order to streamline the process.
Records can be flagged for approval such that an extra QC step can occur, records marked as “pass” or “fail” and metrics applied for the overall collection to gauge progress.

Project update (record, data-entry statuses), how many records are photographed (by date, team, format, similar auditing and feedback loops as offered in AVCC.
Fields can be added, edited, or moved.
Catalyst is not intended for collection management as it is designed for created a first order of intellectual control to large collections and inventorying, collection management will likely occur in a different system. Data can be exported along with the media (container photographs) and can be imported and merged to maintain these relationships (provided the destination system is able to contain images of the objects along with the record).

=== Questions: ===
Andrea Goethals wondered if both AVCC and Catalyst could be used in conjunction.
Chris Licinak: data could be mapped to the spreadsheet format for AVCC and imported (though no support for images exists in AVCC)
Karl ?? wanted to know more about the cloud service and support fees
Chris Lacinak: Both tools are open-source, AVCC can be downloaded off of github. Both tools need to be hosted on a server, can be added as a service through the tools. Catalyst and AVCC operate within a similar technology stack. AVCC could be run on an institution’s own server if preferred.
John Spencer asked is it possible to store the catalog back-ups and exports within the cloud and the extent to which this data is easily decoupled from the internal structure of the tools.
Chris Lacinak: Full data set decoupling is a major part of the design

Notes: Joey Heinen, Harvard Library

Administrivia (New member introductions)***

Announcements and Project Updates
-Archiving Email Symposium - June 2 and 3
-Video Survey Update - blog post on challenges in managing video collection forthcoming, a “next steps” meeting is soon to occur and participation is welcome, e-mail NDSA Standards and Practices group if interested.

Today’s discussion topic: Issues, challenges and solutions for cataloging AV collections Pt 1:
Chris Lacinak AVPS: tool demo, due to time constraints could only cover AVCC and Catalyst, MediaSCORE and AMS info available upon request.
Both AVCC and Catalyst are web-based and browser-based tools, login can occur remotely. Both live on web servers and are viewable in any browser. Multiple licenses can access the server simultaneously. The tools are both designed for item-level inventory and description with slightly different purposes but are both intended to galvanize group efforts around gaining intellectual control over A/V collections. AVCC (Audio Visual Collaborative Cataloging) is built with the idea of empowering volunteer workforce with a more generic approach towards workflow whereas Catalyst is more prescriptive, designed around a specific workflow. Catalyst also requires more initial set-up for implementation.

AVCC
Initial designs by AVPS, brought to Metro who provided additional funding for development, created proof-of-concept design, beta-testing, continued work with Library of Congress to refine applications.
User is presented with the main dashboard upon login. Some significant features:
-count by format
-create separate projects (useful for auditing and progress reporting)
-commercial vs. unique (provides a sense of object rarity)
-overview of storage capacity (linear footage, file size, a key for how these numbers are calculated)

Users can then navigate to the Records module. Some significant features:
-listing of all item-level records
-Add records
-Set media type: Audio, Film, Video
-Controlled list of formats (dependent on media type that is selected, required field)
-Review button for flagging and sorting records for administrative approval or auditing as necessary.

Additional Features/Benefits
The Project feature for organizing records based on their affiliation to a project can be good for auditing later on, ensuring controlled vocabulary, creating good feedback loops throughout the process, reviewing and solidifying workflows as issues arise, etc.
The option exists for duplicate records for collections that are of a similar format or which share other similar descriptive/technical characteristics. This can help make the cataloging process more efficient.
Bulk editing records is possible, though a common media type must be identified.
Records are stamped with a username, modified date and time for auditing purposes.
Removing unwanted fields requires a show/hide feature, cannot be deleted nor can fields be added as these are linked to fixed reporting functions.
Edit base allows for modifying of fields. Fields can also be scored (1 to 5) for prioritization in reporting.
Search/filter by title, format, etc.
Import/export features allows for csv or xlsx formats, can merge records into existing datasets or combine separate imported datasets so long as a unique identifier is shared across.
Reporting options: All records, prioritization report (based on score), manifest (box number, shipment batches, etc.), file size calculator (planning for digitization), linear feet, etc.
Nightly inventory back-up can be scheduled daily, e-mails a full export of the records which can download from the cloud.

Catalyst
This tool was developed as a solution to cataloging disparate and disorganized collections that may be geographically separate or within different depositories. The impetus for this project was through the New Jersey Network whose archival funding shifted and resulted in neglected and obscured A/V collections, needed to regain intellectual control over their holdings.

A list of current members is posted here: [[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Members]].

= Statement of Purpose =

The Standards and Practices Working Group will work to facilitate a community-wide understanding of the role and benefit of standards in digital preservation and how to use them effectively to ensure durable and usable collections. The Group will also develop, recommend, promote, and disseminate information about effective methods for selecting, organizing, describing, managing, preserving and serving digital content, in collaboration with other individuals and organizations where appropriate.

= Current Projects =

Working group members may initiate and engage in new work at any time by forming Action Teams focused on specific projects or tasks.

== Digital Preservation Wikipedia ==
This is an ambitious and on-going project using Wikipedia to promote the use of digital preservation standards and best practices. The objectives are to:
* identify and describe '''existing''' digital preservation standards and best practices
* identify '''gaps''' in digital preservation standards and best practices coverage that could be addressed by this working group in collaboration with others
* sustain this activity by building a community of Wikipedians to join us in this activity

The categories of digital preservation standards and best practices we will focus on include: Content models, Content packaging, Content transfer, Digital preservation strategies and techniques, Digital preservation terms and concepts, File formats, Encodings, Metadata exchange, Metadata schemas, Repository architecture, Repository certification and trustworthiness, Repository operations, Repository policies

Status of activities and deliverables:

* creation of Digital Preservation "WikiProject" within Wikipedia as an umbrella for collaborating with others on this project -- '''COMPLETE 6/2012'''
* redevelop the current Wikipedia "Digital Preservation" page so that it can serve as an appropriate launch page to more detailed information about standards and best practices -- '''IN PROGRESS, 11/2012-'''

* create / update pages describing current standards and best practices in the field of digital preservation
* consult with others involved in digital preservation to encourage their input and contributions to the effort
* report back to the NDSA steering committee with updates and proposals as to how to continue this effort into the future

== Items related to the exploration of the challenges of preserving PDFs, especially PDF/A documents, including PDF/A-3 ==

* [[NDSA:PDF Exploration]]

One of the great strengths of PDF, including the recent PDF/A-3 standard, is its ability to contain a variety of sometimes complex digital objects within a single file. Long term preservation of these files, however, can be problematic because current digital preservation tools are not able to consistently identify the existence of the embedded content nor identify its format. The NDSA Standards sub group is interested in exploring the boundaries of applicability for PDF in preservation environments, especially as a carrier of complex formats such as audio, video and geospatial information.

The interest in this project grew out of a Signal blog post on PDF/A-3 by Butch Lazorchak (LOC) about embedded files in PDF/A (http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/11/all-in-embedded-files-in-pdfa/) as well as discussions between NARA and depositing agencies who are starting to use PDF/A-3 as a de facto normalization wrapper format to contain many media types including audio and video. Caroline Arms (LOC) has already produced a helpful background document to kick start this work.

The survey was conducted from early July to early August in 2014. The idea emerged out of the Standards Practices group discussions, noticed that many institutions voiced concerns over the challenges of preserving video content, noting that it is often the last content type to be easily ingested into most repositories. The survey aimed to get to the bottom of what the core challenges are related to video preservation (both analog and digital).

The survey was broken into 5 sections and distributed over survey monkey, the results varied in terms of responses and demographics of respondents (representatives from government, state, and special libraries and some international reach – Canada, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc.).

Winston Atkins discussed the analysis of institutional challenges relative to budgeting and staffing. There is still a question of metrics and how to analyze the data in terms of respondent types and their institutional context. They are currently considering models for creating institution groupings, one such model being the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (now overseen by Indiana University).

Kate Murray added that the survey did not cover formats and numbers of those formats within each institution/collection and that this may be a consideration for future surveys.

Andrea posed the question as to whether the survey respondents might be matched up against the NDSA members list to gauge the level of engagement with the Alliance and future conversations within the Standards Group.
Acquiring more user narrative might be useful for future surveys since a “Tell us About Yourself” section was optional and received limited replies.

Andrea Goethals next talked about the identified challenges which institutions were facing in their video preservation efforts and how the results were weighted. The question considered 14 challenges and asked respondents to rank those choices from 1 to 14 with 1 being the highest priority. Higher prioritities were given a weighted score so as to fully emphasize areas of greatest identified need. Any priorities for which an institution had identified as “problem solved” were given a negative value to offset this need.

The results were placed in a spreadsheet, final values with weighting were tabulated and a column was added for identifying the number of institutions that had solved each problem. “Developing Workflows” was identified as the highest priority, “Securing Storage” and “Funding resources” also high. Andrea noted that these results were interesting as they reflected practical considerations.

-For “Problems Solved,” users most identified “Management buy-in” and “knowing where to start” as solved issues, “Workflow Challenges” were not frequently solved nor was “support/technical guidance” however this final criteria was also not ranked high on the priorities. For the most part results were fairly consistent with highest-needs challenges also ranking low on the “solved” list.

-John Spencer asked whether this survey gathered “institutional” results or if each institution had only one representative/respondent. Multiple submissions were accepted within institutions and IP addresses but some “true” duplicates were removed where the same person had submitted results more than once (a couple dozen instances).

Kate Murray next discussed issues that focused on born-digital video. Interestingly enough, 73% stated analog video as a challenge whereas 42% stated born-digital as an issue and 34% other media. This was somewhat contrary to her expectations given the complexity and variety of born-digital formats in existence.

51 respondents were involved in the Born-Digital Video (BDV) survey and similar weighting was applied as that found in Andrea’s results. Results were also filtered where specific similar/differing criteria were compared against one another. “Workflow Challenges” were again consistent as identified challenges and infrequently marked as “sovled,” with “knowing where to start” again most-often identified as solved.

For institutions that solved high-priority issues:
* Workflow: Avalon, end-to-end (1 answer)
* Repository Services: Cloud-based storage
* Digital storage: cloud-based storage
* Confidence in file formats (preserves all “as is,” stay natively with DV for reformatting (BT.601), considering normalization, already using ProRes 422 files from some producers
* then compared against all respondents, main areas of difference are funding-resources (higher for born-digital) and repository services (higher for all respondents rather than born-digital)

Hannah Frost was not able to call in to the meeting so Kate spoke on her behalf.
For institutions that were NOT challenged by lack of storage and repository services, these related criteria were filtered and ranked in positions 10-14. Then a heat map was applied to the top 1-5 rankings for these groups with orange-red as higher needs and green as low needs. “Technical guidance on video formats” and” appraisal and selection” were higher priorities.
Other areas that ranked on the higher side for some respondents within this grouping were “Knowing where to start,” “funding,” “appraisal and selection,” “format guidance,” “video expertise,” and “metadata, workflows.”

Lisa Snider presented the filtered results for question 3-8 (expertise), 9 (technical/formats guidance), and 10 (metadata/standards guidance) and how these results related based on respondents with similar answers. She checked to see if there was any correlation between these answers in terms of solving the problem, looking at both raw and weighted data. “Technical guidance” was commensurate between groups (27% of the time) but “metadata” and “formats” had more limited correlation (15% of the time).

A final discussion involved how this data be made available, especially given that anonymity was promised at the outset of the survey and this would need to be maintained.

Additionally, there was a question as to how these survey results could be brought to a “milestone” point and summarized so as to get broader buy-in from deciding/funding bodies and external groups.
Andrea Goethals thought that this will need to be more fully processed and condensed as a report before considering an outreach approach for the study.

== Future topics for NSDA Standards Practice Meetings ==

* Follow-up to video, perhaps discussing best practices in workflows and formats (perhaps recruiting from some survey respondents)
* Guest presenters from NLNZ and NARA to talk about DPTR (Digital Preservation Technical Registry, a formats and software environments registry), potentially on Jan 26th
* Email archiving demos
* Feb 23rd was proposed as the February meeting but a topic is yet to be determined, input is encouraged.

This is an ambitious and on-going project using Wikipedia to promote the use of digital preservation standards and best practices. The objectives are to:
* identify and describe '''existing''' digital preservation standards and best practices
* identify '''gaps''' in digital preservation standards and best practices coverage that could be addressed by this working group in collaboration with others
* sustain this activity by building a community of Wikipedians to join us in this activity

The categories of digital preservation standards and best practices we will focus on include: Content models, Content packaging, Content transfer, Digital preservation strategies and techniques, Digital preservation terms and concepts, File formats, Encodings, Metadata exchange, Metadata schemas, Repository architecture, Repository certification and trustworthiness, Repository operations, Repository policies

Status of activities and deliverables:

* creation of Digital Preservation "WikiProject" within Wikipedia as an umbrella for collaborating with others on this project -- '''COMPLETE 6/2012'''
* redevelop the current Wikipedia "Digital Preservation" page so that it can serve as an appropriate launch page to more detailed information about standards and best practices -- '''IN PROGRESS, 11/2012-'''

* create / update pages describing current standards and best practices in the field of digital preservation
* consult with others involved in digital preservation to encourage their input and contributions to the effort
* report back to the NDSA steering committee with updates and proposals as to how to continue this effort into the future

== Items related to the exploration of the challenges of preserving PDFs, especially PDF/A documents, including PDF/A-3 ==

* [[NDSA:PDF Exploration]]

One of the great strengths of PDF, including the recent PDF/A-3 standard, is its ability to contain a variety of sometimes complex digital objects within a single file. Long term preservation of these files, however, can be problematic because current digital preservation tools are not able to consistently identify the existence of the embedded content nor identify its format. The NDSA Standards sub group is interested in exploring the boundaries of applicability for PDF in preservation environments, especially as a carrier of complex formats such as audio, video and geospatial information.

The interest in this project grew out of a Signal blog post on PDF/A-3 by Butch Lazorchak (LOC) about embedded files in PDF/A (http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/11/all-in-embedded-files-in-pdfa/) as well as discussions between NARA and depositing agencies who are starting to use PDF/A-3 as a de facto normalization wrapper format to contain many media types including audio and video. Caroline Arms (LOC) has already produced a helpful background document to kick start this work.

NDSA:Standards and Best Practices Working Group

2014-06-06T17:26:20Z

Andrea goethals:

= Standards and Practices Working Group =

[[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Charter ]] (December 10, 2010)

= Current Members =
A list of current members is posted here: [[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Members]].

= Statement of Purpose =

The Standards and Practices Working Group will work to facilitate a community-wide understanding of the role and benefit of standards in digital preservation and how to use them effectively to ensure durable and usable collections. The Group will also develop, recommend, promote, and disseminate information about effective methods for selecting, organizing, describing, managing, preserving and serving digital content, in collaboration with other individuals and organizations where appropriate.

= Current Projects =

Working group members may initiate and engage in new work at any time by forming Action Teams focused on specific projects or tasks.

== TDR Self-assessment and Audit: Understanding options for addressing standards and requirements ==


* [[NDSA:TDR Self-assessment and Audit: Understanding Options for Addressing Standards and Requirements| Project Charter]]

With the release of ISO 16363 that specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories, the digital community would benefit from a review of current options for organizations to demonstrate comformance and from ongoing monitoring as options emerge and evolve.

== Digital video exploration ==

* [[NDSA:Digital video exploration]]

* [[NDSA:Digital Video Survey Distribution List]]

= Past Projects =

== Digital Preservation Wikipedia ==
This is an ambitious and on-going project using Wikipedia to promote the use of digital preservation standards and best practices. The objectives are to:
* identify and describe '''existing''' digital preservation standards and best practices
* identify '''gaps''' in digital preservation standards and best practices coverage that could be addressed by this working group in collaboration with others
* sustain this activity by building a community of Wikipedians to join us in this activity

The categories of digital preservation standards and best practices we will focus on include: Content models, Content packaging, Content transfer, Digital preservation strategies and techniques, Digital preservation terms and concepts, File formats, Encodings, Metadata exchange, Metadata schemas, Repository architecture, Repository certification and trustworthiness, Repository operations, Repository policies

Status of activities and deliverables:

* creation of Digital Preservation "WikiProject" within Wikipedia as an umbrella for collaborating with others on this project -- '''COMPLETE 6/2012'''
* redevelop the current Wikipedia "Digital Preservation" page so that it can serve as an appropriate launch page to more detailed information about standards and best practices -- '''IN PROGRESS, 11/2012-'''

* create / update pages describing current standards and best practices in the field of digital preservation
* consult with others involved in digital preservation to encourage their input and contributions to the effort
* report back to the NDSA steering committee with updates and proposals as to how to continue this effort into the future

== Items related to the exploration of the challenges of preserving PDFs, especially PDF/A documents, including PDF/A-3 ==

* [[NDSA:PDF Exploration]]

One of the great strengths of PDF, including the recent PDF/A-3 standard, is its ability to contain a variety of sometimes complex digital objects within a single file. Long term preservation of these files, however, can be problematic because current digital preservation tools are not able to consistently identify the existence of the embedded content nor identify its format. The NDSA Standards sub group is interested in exploring the boundaries of applicability for PDF in preservation environments, especially as a carrier of complex formats such as audio, video and geospatial information.

The interest in this project grew out of a Signal blog post on PDF/A-3 by Butch Lazorchak (LOC) about embedded files in PDF/A (http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/11/all-in-embedded-files-in-pdfa/) as well as discussions between NARA and depositing agencies who are starting to use PDF/A-3 as a de facto normalization wrapper format to contain many media types including audio and video. Caroline Arms (LOC) has already produced a helpful background document to kick start this work.

NDSA:Standards and Best Practices Working Group

2014-06-06T17:23:25Z

Andrea goethals:

= Standards and Practices Working Group =

[[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Charter ]] (December 10, 2010)

= Current Members =
A list of current members is posted here: [[NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Members]].

= Statement of Purpose =

The Standards and Practices Working Group will work to facilitate a community-wide understanding of the role and benefit of standards in digital preservation and how to use them effectively to ensure durable and usable collections. The Group will also develop, recommend, promote, and disseminate information about effective methods for selecting, organizing, describing, managing, preserving and serving digital content, in collaboration with other individuals and organizations where appropriate.

= Current Projects =

Working group members may initiate and engage in new work at any time by forming Action Teams focused on specific projects or tasks.

== TDR Self-assessment and Audit: Understanding options for addressing standards and requirements ==


* [[NDSA:TDR Self-assessment and Audit: Understanding Options for Addressing Standards and Requirements| Project Charter]]

With the release of ISO 16363 that specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories, the digital community would benefit from a review of current options for organizations to demonstrate comformance and from ongoing monitoring as options emerge and evolve.

== Digital video exploration ==

= Past Projects =

== Digital Preservation Wikipedia ==
This is an ambitious and on-going project using Wikipedia to promote the use of digital preservation standards and best practices. The objectives are to:
* identify and describe '''existing''' digital preservation standards and best practices
* identify '''gaps''' in digital preservation standards and best practices coverage that could be addressed by this working group in collaboration with others
* sustain this activity by building a community of Wikipedians to join us in this activity

The categories of digital preservation standards and best practices we will focus on include: Content models, Content packaging, Content transfer, Digital preservation strategies and techniques, Digital preservation terms and concepts, File formats, Encodings, Metadata exchange, Metadata schemas, Repository architecture, Repository certification and trustworthiness, Repository operations, Repository policies

Status of activities and deliverables:

* creation of Digital Preservation "WikiProject" within Wikipedia as an umbrella for collaborating with others on this project -- '''COMPLETE 6/2012'''
* redevelop the current Wikipedia "Digital Preservation" page so that it can serve as an appropriate launch page to more detailed information about standards and best practices -- '''IN PROGRESS, 11/2012-'''

* create / update pages describing current standards and best practices in the field of digital preservation
* consult with others involved in digital preservation to encourage their input and contributions to the effort
* report back to the NDSA steering committee with updates and proposals as to how to continue this effort into the future

== Items related to the exploration of the challenges of preserving PDFs, especially PDF/A documents, including PDF/A-3 ==

* [[NDSA:PDF Exploration]]

One of the great strengths of PDF, including the recent PDF/A-3 standard, is its ability to contain a variety of sometimes complex digital objects within a single file. Long term preservation of these files, however, can be problematic because current digital preservation tools are not able to consistently identify the existence of the embedded content nor identify its format. The NDSA Standards sub group is interested in exploring the boundaries of applicability for PDF in preservation environments, especially as a carrier of complex formats such as audio, video and geospatial information.

The interest in this project grew out of a Signal blog post on PDF/A-3 by Butch Lazorchak (LOC) about embedded files in PDF/A (http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/11/all-in-embedded-files-in-pdfa/) as well as discussions between NARA and depositing agencies who are starting to use PDF/A-3 as a de facto normalization wrapper format to contain many media types including audio and video. Caroline Arms (LOC) has already produced a helpful background document to kick start this work.

Return to the [[NDSA:Standards and Best Practices Working Group#Digital video exploration | Digital video exploration]]

Please feel free to list questions for the initial digital video survey below. For example:

== Overall challenges ==
* What are your biggest challenges related to video?
* What is the big roadblock for preserving video? Why is it not part of the usual preservation environment?
* Do copyright issues influence your preservation priorities? If so, how?

== High-level Strategy / Resources / Funding ==
* How are your video preservation activities funded?
* Are you better equipped and resourced for video preservation, for video access, or are they resourced and equipped equally?
* How far back in chain of creation do you go with regular depositors of born digital video? Are you able to influence or define deliverables coming into your repository?
* Do you contract for consultation services to support your video efforts?
* Are you doing video reformatting in-house, through out-sourcing or a combination? If you are outsourcing some of this how did you decide which to outsource?
* Do you store your preservation master files in institutionally managed storage, through a commercial service, or both?
* Do you have the expertise you need for video preservation?

== Specifications / Standards / Modeling ==
* What are the technical specifications (formats, file characteristics, etc) you use? Especially for born digital video.
* Do you have guidelines for preferred/accepted digital video formats? Would you be able to share them?

* What types of auxiliary/associated materials files do you keep along with original files (e.g. production stills)?
* Are you trying to model higher level objects (1 program over 4 tapes, for example)? If so how?
* What about the raw material that comes in on one disc or drive (for example everything that went in to creating a documentary). What do you keep? How do you make the decision? Do you keep only the final version?
* Do you index any technical metadata and if so, which fields?

== Tools / Technology / Workflow ==
* Are you delivering the video you preserve, and if so using what tools/platforms/services?
* What analog-to-digital interface do you use (i.e., SAMMA, BlackMagic, Kona, AJA)?

'''Discussion'''

Kate Murray provided some background for this exploration: the Standards WG realized a lot of people are working on issues related to born-digital video (BDV). On the [[NDSA:Digital video exploration meeting notes#February 7, 2014 | first call]] the participants discovered a need to capture a list questions because there are so many directions to take the exploration. The questions are listed [[NDSA:Digital video exploration | here]].

The scope of today's call is to review the questions, and organize or prioritize the list. The group should also consider choosing one or two specific questions to explore in depth, or aggregating sub-sets of questions under categories or themes that would seed a general survey to send out to NDSA members. There was clarification that BDV is not limited by format, e.g., HD or SD, or both. This was addressed because NYU has experienced that digital-deposit video formats are very different from those used for analog migrations. NYU recommended adding a question to address the issue of creating digital masters, and how to educate creators about BDV workflow.

[http://www.digitizationguidelines.gov/ FADGI] is looking at workflow issues with its work on MXF. There was consensus that training and workshops are important since they impact processing workflows down the road. The questions were reviewed as a group, with the following additions:
*What technical formats are you using for BDV?
*With regular depositers, how far back in the chain of creation do you go to address digital video formats?
* Since not everyone has direct control, or the opportunity to reach out to the artists to influence file creation, what practices are you using with ingest processing for born-digital video?
**Normalization
**Keeping the original files
**Monitoring
*What types of auxiliary files are you keeping along with the content, e.g., stills?
*How are you trying to model higher level objects, e.g., a single program spanning four tapes?

WGBH has discovered that the formats they receive is whatever is coming out of a camera. It's not a conscience choice of the creator. One way to manage what you can expect to receive is provide guidance on what kind of camera a creator should use based on the types of files they create.

As a next step, the group decided to:
#Group the questions under specific themes or topics, e.g., ingest, file formats, etc.
#Identify a survey model and tool, e.g., the storage survey started with a page on the wiki, and the working group first learned where they had consensus where they didn't. Then they created a more formal survey.
#Design a simple, one-question, multiple-choice survey, with three-five high-level themes for responders to identify as their top issues for dealing with BDV.
#Identify a process for disseminating the survey.
#Disseminate a survey to the full NDSA membership

Everyone in this group has some familiarity with BDV, but can we reach the non-experts, who are receiving more video into their workflow? There's a lot of video content out there people are dealing with, which is not part of their preservation programs. Can we just reach out to the NDSA membership via the NDSA-ALL email list? This is a good place to start because the NDSA has a wide range of practioners from novice to expert.

The group completed a preliminary exercise in grouping the questions into themes:
#Technical specifications around metadata, file formats, etc.
#Reformatting physical media
#Workflow, e.g., is your workflow different for access files versus preservation files?
#Storage - ready access vs. long-term preservation storage
#Tools
#Policies, e.g., collection development policies or preservation program priorities
#Rights issues, e.g., copyright, licensing, DRM

'''Action items'''

==February 7, 2014==

Thanks to all for participating in the digital video brainstorming session on Friday afternoon! We had a great introductory discussion involving NDSA members from The Library of Congress, Harvard, Stanford, NYU, Columbia, University of South Carolina, CalTech, Duke, WGBH, and UCLA/Audiovisual Archive Network. For many of institutions, video is the last big genre of content that isn’t (well) supported in current digital preservation repository and access systems. MOOCs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course), collaborative projects and mass digitization also are areas of special interest. We discussed how we might best collect and compare data – perhaps through case studies (generalized or specific), formal survey, etc. In the end, we decided that we need to better define the questions we wanted to explore.

Our primary action item was to set up a new page on the wiki in order to capture questions and topics related to video to help us narrow our scope. We will have another meeting in a few weeks to discuss how we might organize and address the selected topics in a thoughtful way. We will set up a Doodle poll for the next meeting.

All NDSA Standards members are welcome to submit questions/comments on digital video to the wiki page:
