== Project Status ==

Updates

Kate:
There will be a Signal blog post on the Wikipedia project summarizing what we accomplished and asking others if they’d like to contribute.

The Signal blog post for the Digital Preservation Staffing Survey should go out today. [In fact it went live immediately after our call: [http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2013/12/just-released-staffing-for-effective-digital-preservation-an-ndsa-report/]

2014 Schedule:

Generally will meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, which just a few exceptions.

Jan 27th
Feb 24th
July 21st (Will try to schedule an in-person meetup in conjunction with the annual meeting instead of the regularly scheduled call.)

Next call is Jan 27, 2014.

== "What are you working on" -- Roundtable Discussion (continued) ==

* '''Emily Shaw''' - digital preservation librarian at the University of Iowa library
** working on strategic planning, looking at fixity tools, and wrangling legacy collections. Looking to us for sanity

* '''Paula De Stefano''' - Head of Preservation Department, NYU
** Divided up the responsibilities, others most involved in content and repository development.
** Digitizing unique audio and video content.
** Producing master and access
** Broadcast WAV for audio, CD for access files.
** Storing on modified Dspace, using OAIS reference modoel, working toward TRAK compliance
** Interested in best practices for fixity checking.
** Would like to see a survey of how people are approaching file naming. They're using Archivists Tookliket reference number. Now migrating to ArchiveSpace, which will mean a new approach to file naming.
** There was a question about how they've modified Dspace.

== Common Themes from our Roundtable Discussion ==

'''Discussion at Dec 16 meeting:'''

Suggestion to have the next meeting focus on video.
Paula would be glad to talk more about what they're doing.
John said major record labels are doing assessments of formats. Will be happy to report out when they actually issue a report on their findings.

There are clusters of people interested in a number of other topics that we could follow up on. Many people are interested in assessments and certifications. This group started a project on this last year; perhaps we should reinvigorate it.

There are also a number of people interested in SIP/ packaging. That group of people are mainly interested in information sharing across the group.

Kate asked if there was interest in discussion of any issues related to BagIt. Attendees did not report on any issues that needed discussion. Those who were familiar with it love it, and several people noted that just not enough people know about it.

Attendees should add their names to the list below if the notes don't reflect your institution's interests and activities.

== Project Status ==
* The TRAC review tool is now available at: https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Internal_audit_tool - the download file contains all of the files needed in a standalone instance of Drupal. Now that that's done, we can focus on building up the wiki pages for the activities of the Self-assessment and Audit project.

== "What are you working on" -- Roundtable Discussion ==

* '''Kate Zwaard''', Library of Congress: I’m working on a few software development projects right now. The one that’s probably the most relevant here is a project I manage to help LC staff accession, preserve, and manage digital collections. We also develop Bagger and the BagIt Library. Aside from the standards and best practices of the software development world (development methodologies, code conventions, etc), the best practices we are interested in are related to preservation/administrative metadata, fixity, and provenance. One of our biggest challenges (and joys) comes from serving a diverse user base – our colleagues in the Law Library have different interests, requirements, and needs than our colleagues in the American Folklife Center or in the Manuscript division, for example. For sanity checks, we rely on our colleagues in the NDSA and in the software development community. More about our group here: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2011/08/yes-the-library-of-congress-develops-lots-of-software-tools/

* '''Andrea Goethals''', Harvard Library: I'm working on:
** Adding support for video to our preservation repository
*** Using various format sustainability criteria to decide on video formats, could use agreement on video formats and metadata schemas
** Finishing up a large repository migration - now focused on the metadata migration & user adoption
*** In the software development portion of the project, used best practices on packaging metadata, technical metadata schemas, hooks into format registries
** A road map for new Digital preservation services
*** Used repository assessment models including the levels of digital preservation
** NDSR Boston project - testing the residency model piloted by LC & IMLS is Washington DC
*** Using existing curricula like DPOE
For sanity I turn to the digital preservation community writ large including the NDSA and the IIPC preservation working group.

* '''Kate Murray''', Library of Congress: I'm working on:
** working on the MXF AS-07 application specification definition which is geared for archiving and preservation. This includes metadata standards and has led me to the SMPTE Core Metadata effort.
** documenting case histories about working with born digital video (through the FADGI AV Working Group). We hope this ''eventually'' extends to recommended practices for file creation.
** FADGI is also about to publish a matrix comparing codecs and wrappers for reformatted video
** I'm also working on documenting email formats for the Sustainability of Digital Formats website

* '''Leah Prescott and Carolyn Campbell''' - Georgetown University Law Library is:
** We are just at the beginning of implementing a production-level digitization program so our standards and practices are primarily centered around that activity - making sure that we are following best practices and primarily using the FADGI guidelines. Books, images, audio, video, etc.
** We are also in the process of vetting Digital Asset Management systems (along with main campus) and have started discussing preservation requirements in conjunction with that (although the system itself may not be a preservation environment)
** Will soon be implementing a BagIt process to create a basic preservation file structure on a server - and implementing BagIt validation on a periodic basis.
** Working on strategies to implement METS for both display and preservation
** Beginning to work with digital forensics for obsolete media
** Continuing to lead the Chesapeake Digital Preservation Group to deal with legal link rot

* '''Michelle Paolillo''' - Cornell University; preservation related projects
** We are in a fledgling state with our preservation repository, the Cornell University Library Archival Repository (CULAR). I am the service manager and business owner with regards to repository development. CULAR is governed by a steering committee which I also chair. Standards and Best practices I currently appeal to:
*** NDSA Levels of preservation - My steering committee and I are especially grateful to have a framework to use when discussing possible development, and way to keep the various facets of development in synch.
*** My metadata specialist, Jason Kovari - helps evaluate which schema(s) may be especially helpful in specific situations, and helps evaluate how much description we should minimally require. (In general, I emphasize the role of metadata frequently, since even a decade or two down the road, none of us will be here to remember or explain anything.)
*** I search the web for many terms related to preservation, to get a better idea of what has been tried, and (hopefully) to what success. It is great to learn that this group has been leveraging Wikipedia for basic knowledge.
*** Specific challenge: often curators have little idea as to how to get their collections ready for deposit (this includes appropriate description, metadata creation, structuring, weeding, etc.) I always attempt to lower barriers, but frequently encounter reluctance to create or alter workflows in ways that would integrate preservation into the lifecycle of the object. I suspect preservation is seen as an add-on. I would love ideas and best practices for developing the partnerships that would increase engagement.
** Cornell has also recently created an executive level group called the Repository Executive Committee. Cornell has many repositories for digital assets, all built from various architectures. The charge before the committee includes a survey of our current repository landscape, with an eye towards simplifying the architectural diversity. I hope to be a vigorous voice on that committee for preservation. Some challenges:
*** The architectures of the various repositories tend to be optimized for whatever content type they specialize in.
*** Several architectures in use are aging out, or have already aged out. There will be migrations in our future.
*** Not all repositories have preservation in mind; many are delivery centered.
*** I am open to any sanity checks or standards/best practices that are available that would help with this effort.

Michelle Paolillo: /* 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 Scope of Work =

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

== Survey and document the digital preservation standards landscape ==
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.

== 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.
