Opening
2 new members introduced themselves:
- Kate Zwaard, Library of Congress
- Nancy McGovern, MIT Libraries
Staffing Survey
- A reminder to please contribute to the lessons learned while they're still fresh
- How do we expand participation, especially to commercial institutions and institutions with large content collections
- The instructions for only one respondent per institution may have made it difficult for large institutions to participate (i.e., who is responsible for responding)
- Perhaps solicit individually. Get the list of the NDSA representative for each institution, enlist their help.
- Please consider joining the publish team (a great way to get a publication on your resume) or the archive team
WikiProject
- Andrea reported that Columbia is continuing to make progress on restructuring and rewriting the Digital Preservation article.
New Projects Brainstorming
- Certifications
- Would like to hear from people involved in peer review.
- NCPSR involved in the Data Seal of Approval, a community model that involves peer review
- Standards
- Looking at which standards are being adopted. Trending up or trending down.
- Concern about survey fatigue
- Could be a qualitative look, perhaps in-group. Look to the Storage Survey as a model
- Possible questions: what standards are you using and why? Why other standards did you consider? What standards did you migrate from?
- Terms of Service
- Human-readable explanation of preservation commitment
- Also terms of service repositories enter into for hosted services
- File formats, Specifically PDF/A-3
- Follow-up from the Signal Blog post and related discussion.
- Stated need for a document that describes flavors of PDFs broadly and the strengths and weaknesses of each sub category. Information earlier in the lifecycle would be helpful for folks.
- Use case: a deposit wrapping everything in PDF/A, including audio and video, which is preventing the repository (NARA) from doing file more identification
- Harvard has "opaque objects" to support the submission of any file format, which can sometimes tempt people away from more fully supported file formats
- Portico would rather unknown files rather than those same files wrapped in a PDF, even if they can't identify them.
- Digital Preservation Profiles, similar to the Data Curation Profiles
- Levels of preservation and stages of development
- Meg and Jefferson Bailey submitted a proposal to SAA comparing the NDSA levels of preservation to other electronic records preservation models with levels
- A document that describes different models with levels of preservation, comparing similarities and analyzing gaps
- Lots of Interest in and who volunteered to write it up
- PDF/A-3 guidelines, Kate Murray
- Levels of preservation guidelines, Meg Phillips
- Certifications, Nancy McGovern and Mary Vardigan
Wiki Project
- Andrea reported that Columbia is continuing to make progress on restructuring and rewriting the Digital Preservation article.
Closing
- Next call the week of December 17th
