Eengle: /* 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 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

NDSA:Innovation Working Group

2015-05-21T19:14:04Z

Eengle: /* Meeting Schedule and Minutes */

== Statement of Purpose ==
By encouraging and sharing innovative methods of digital preservation practices and technologies, we plan to distribute, document, and share emerging concepts, while conducting and guiding research and development with engaged partners to find solutions where none exist.

== Current Action Team Projects ==

===[[NDSA:Annual Awards Team|Annual Recognition Awards]]===
This team plans for the annual awards. The group will pick the specific set of awards we want to accept nominations for, decide on how we want to do nominations, and presumably, make the decisions on who will win the first set of awards.
For more information, see this [http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/08/digital-preservations-got-talent-awarding-innovation-and-accomplishment/ blog post] on the awards project.

===[[NDSA:Broadening and Networking the Field of Research in Digital Preservation|Insights Interview series for Digital Preservation Blog]]===
Group members conduct interviews with individuals inside and outside of the organizations and specialties currently participating in the NDSA. Examples of potential related fields include but are not limited to, digital archeology/forensics, virtualization of programming environments, material sciences, and humanities computing. The interviews are published to the Library of Congress’ digital preservation blog. For an example of what this group does, see [http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/06/insights-interview-with-david-rosenthal the first interview with David Rosenthal].

===[[NDSA:Summer of code|NDSA Presence on Google Summer of Code]]===
Google summer of code connects student developers with mentor’s at organizations to write code for various open source software projects. This action team is focused on planning a coordinated presence for NDSA member open source software projects on Google’s Summer of Code project.

===[[NDSA:Storage ping|Storage Ping Technical Challenge]]===
The idea behind this project is to plan a ping service that could check on many of the features of preservation storage systems. This could include, average latency, bit integrity, up time for files, etc. The group will work on putting together a plan for how to implement this and the kinds of light weight polices that would need to be put in place to run such a technical benchmark.

See [[NDSA:Future projects]] for areas for the group to explore at a later date.

'''Guidelines for Posters and demonstrations'''
*Poster and demonstration submissions '''(abstracts of up to 2 pages)''' are encouraged for posters reporting on emerging issues or work in progress, and also for demonstrations of innovative solutions. These submissions should describe the work to be presented and its contribution beyond the state of the art. Posters and demonstrations will be presented in a dedicated session during the conference.
*All contributions will be peer-reviewed. Abstracts of accepted posters and demonstrations will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings.
*A best poster award will be offered.

== Important Dates ==

*June 29, 2015 - Poster and demo submissions (abstract) due
*July 13, 2015 - submitters notified
*October 1, 2015 - early bird registration closes

== Poster Team ==

*Karl Jackson, US Marine Corps Band
*Carol Kussmann, UMN
*Mariella Soprano, CalTech
*Michelle Paolillo, Cornell
*Andrea Goethals, Harvard
*Kate Murray, LC
*Erin Engle, LC

== 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.

= 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 ==

== 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

* [[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

2015-04-28T18:26:19Z

Eengle: /* Current Projects */

= 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]] ==

== 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 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.

== Today’s discussion topic: S&P Poster proposal for iPRES ==
*Over the past year, we have explored different topics of interest to the group – preserving digital art, identifying challenges to preserving digital video, showcasing cataloging tools for A/V content and email preservation. Given our all of our good work this year and in past years, we thought it might be a good opportunity to take stock and showcase our project and activities.
*This year, iPres 2015 (http://ipres2015.org/) will be held in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in early November. We’d like to take this opportunity of an international conference venue being close to home and propose a poster on the work of the NDSA Standards and Practices Working Group to iPRES.
*See draft proposal below for the outcome of the discussion.

== Next Steps ==
First deliverable is the abstract due on '''June 29, 2015'''. Please contact Kate, Andrea or Erin if you’d like to join the Poster Team.

== Draft of proposal -- post-meeting email ==

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.

NDSA:Standards and Best Practices Working Group

2015-04-28T18:07:42Z

Eengle: /* 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.

== 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.

NDSA:Innovation Working Group

2015-04-02T13:51:37Z

Eengle: /* Meeting Schedule and Minutes */

== Statement of Purpose ==
By encouraging and sharing innovative methods of digital preservation practices and technologies, we plan to distribute, document, and share emerging concepts, while conducting and guiding research and development with engaged partners to find solutions where none exist.

== Current Action Team Projects ==

===[[NDSA:Annual Awards Team|Annual Recognition Awards]]===
This team is planning the first slate of annual awards, to be given out at next years July meeting. The group will pick the specific set of awards we want to accept nominations for, decide on how we want to do nominations, and presumably, make the decisions on who will win the first set of awards.
For more information, see this [http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/08/digital-preservations-got-talent-awarding-innovation-and-accomplishment/ blog post] on the awards project.

===[[NDSA:Broadening and Networking the Field of Research in Digital Preservation|Insights Interview series for Digital Preservation Blog]]===
Group members conduct interviews with individuals inside and outside of the organizations and specialties currently participating in the NDSA. Examples of potential related fields include but are not limited to, digital archeology/forensics, virtualization of programming environments, material sciences, and humanities computing. The interviews are published to the Library of Congress’ digital preservation blog. For an example of what this group does, see [http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/06/insights-interview-with-david-rosenthal the first interview with David Rosenthal].

===[[NDSA:Summer of code|NDSA Presence on Google Summer of Code]]===
Google summer of code connects student developers with mentor’s at organizations to write code for various open source software projects. This action team is focused on planning a coordinated presence for NDSA member open source software projects on Google’s Summer of Code project.

===[[NDSA:Storage ping|Storage Ping Technical Challenge]]===
The idea behind this project is to plan a ping service that could check on many of the features of preservation storage systems. This could include, average latency, bit integrity, up time for files, etc. The group will work on putting together a plan for how to implement this and the kinds of light weight polices that would need to be put in place to run such a technical benchmark.

See [[NDSA:Future projects]] for areas for the group to explore at a later date.

= 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 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.

* 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.

'''LINK TO DEMO RECORDING:'''
* https://meetings.webex.com/collabs/url/qlx16z8W4T6d_T-JcgI2m5Nr_H0edovmMAcqKn0HhL000000

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
