John Faundeen of the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center talked about his organization’s work incorporating the NDSA’s Levels of Preservation guidance.

The approved version of the [[NDSA:media:GIL_Draft_Syllabus_Aug15_13.pdf |“USGS Guidelines for the Preservation of Digital Scientific Data”]] is available.

The intro to that document:

“This document provides guidelines for use by USGS scientists, management, and IT staff in technical evaluation of systems for preserving digital scientific data. These guidelines will assist in selecting, specifying, building, operating, or enhancing data repositories. The USGS Fundamental Science Practices Advisory Committee – Data Preservation Subcommittee developed these guidelines based on material from the Library of Congress-sponsored National Digital Stewardship Alliance (National Digital Stewardship Alliance, 2013). This document does not cover additional non-technical issues such as preservation policies, funding, or organizational competency and longevity, which are critical for data preservation, but beyond the scope of this document. “
