Meeting Notes
Discussion centered on conversations from the Content Working Group meeting during Digital Preservation 2012 around the subject of whether the content groups should have a focus on identifying at-risk data.
Discussion began with the notion that government people have their own set of records that they’re charged with preserving. When they talk about at-risk data they’re talking about the records that they’re already charged to preserve. They are not engaged with stewarding other records that they are not charged with dealing with. Groups who have a fixed mandate are already challenged with what they’re currently taking in and maintaining.
However, there are other categories of at-risk data outside the government sector that might qualify as “orphan works” in need of stewardship. The group should address these types of data in some way.
A definition of at-risk data was discussed and is a work in progress. The latest version can be found on the wiki at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Geospatial#Draft_Definition_of_At-Risk_Geospatial_Content
