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.

Meeting Schedule and Minutes

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.
  • 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.

Participation

Participation in the Infrastructure Working Group is restricted to NDSA member organizations. Contact co-chairs Karen Cariani and Trevor Owens 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.
