== Current Scope of Work ==
Survey and document best practices in the digital preservation infrastructure landscape, focusing on the topics below
===Work objective===
*Investigate, share, and recognize emerging practices for use and development and sharing of open source tools and other software that enable digital preservation.
[[NDSA:Cloud Presentations]]. 
*Investigate, share, and recognize emerging practices for use and development of computer forensic tools that enable digital preservation.
*Investigate, recognize, and document potential preservation emerging practices in the use of large-scale storage and cloud infrastructures.
*Encourage communities with highly specialized needs (e.g., geospatial, datasets, observational data) to develop storage networks or access services that can serve the entire community.
===Work scope (actions we actually do)===
*Identify 5 or 6 topics relevant and discuss one topic in depth per monthly phone call- such as identify the necessary components/characteristics of creating an open source tools.
**Invite an expert speaker to discuss topics
**Record the discussion and share
**Periodically report to the Infrastructure group about what’s going on in the arena of highly specialized needs
*Report to the group about other activities in this area
*Post reports for sharing
*Compile information about 5-6 topics, including but not limited to:
**Authoring individuals and organizations
**Status of standard or best practice
**Description of standard or best practice
**Characterization of the standard or best practice (need to define categories)
**Examples of where and how they are used
**Related documents and Web site
**Analysis and synthesis
**Identify gaps, areas of potential collaboration, etc
*Share compilation of information as an online resource
===Deliverables===
*Report on the phone calls and discussions to be shared
*Develop on-line resource of findings using a wiki page or something similar
*Write a working group report
*Publish white papers, articles about specific topics
===Schedule===
*Whole working group call once a month for 1 year
*Action group calls more frequent?
*By February call have topics identified
*March – June hold calls with experts
*write up findings on a rolling basis after each month’s call
*June/July gather report together
*Aug- Sept continue to build out resources and post on-line

Statement of Purpose

The Infrastructure Working Group works to build a community of sharing information and best practices about the development and maintenance of tools and systems for the curation, preservation, storage, hosting, migration, and similar activities for the long term preservation of digital content.

Current Work Objectives

  • NDSA:Open Source Software Investigate, share, and recognize emerging practices for use and development and sharing of open source tools and other software that enable digital preservation.
  • NDSA:Discussions on Preservation Storage Topics: Summaries and salient points from the WG's bi-weekly open conversation on detailed aspects of preservation storage. Topics discussed: encryption, (others forthcoming).
  • Storage Survey: For the first year the group's primary project was an exploration of member's approaches to storage. We began with an exploration of cloud providers, see NDSA:Cloud Presentations. From there we developed a set of NDSA:Qualitative Storage Questions which 10 members responded to. From there we developed and implemented a survey of the members: Draft Storage Survey. The final report and a series of blog posts on this project are still being finalized.

Potential Future Projects

  • Investigate, share, and recognize emerging practices for use and development of computer forensic tools that enable digital preservation.
  • Encourage communities with highly specialized needs (e.g., geospatial, datasets, observational data) to develop storage networks or access services that can serve the entire community.

Meeting Schedule and Minutes

Participation

Participation in the Infrastructure Working Group is restricted to NDSA member organizations. Contact co-chairs Nick Krabbenhoeft and Sibyl Schaefer to join the working group.

Participants in the working group will participate in working group phone calls, undertake tasks to help the working group accomplish goals, and be active in helping accomplish the goals of the working group.

Action Teams may be created around specific tasks. These Action Teams may be self organized by members of the working group and may include non-NDSA members as the work requires. Non-NDSA members will not be participants in the Working Group but may contribute to the activities of any Action Team. Action Teams will update the Working Group about their accomplishments and progress.
