Statement of Purpose
By encouraging and sharing innovative methods of digital preservation practices and technologies, we plan to distribute, document, and share emerging concepts, while conducting and guiding research and development with engaged partners to find solutions where none exist.
Current Action Team Projects
NDSA:Digital Preservation X-Challenges
Innovation in Digital Preservation Challenges and Prizes This group will plan and launch a set of challenges and/or prizes in to spur innovation in digital preservation. Work will focus on defining the challenges, promoting them, and exploring ways to identify funding to support challenges if it is determined that funding would be appropriate.
NDSA:Broadening and Networking the Field of Research in Digital Preservation
This project will develop a plan to bring individuals outside of the organizations and specialties currently participating in the NDSA, but whose work is relevant to digital preservation, into conversation with the field. Examples of potential related fields include but are not limited to, digital archeology/forensics, virtualization of programming environments, material sciences, and humanities computing. The group will first develop a plan of action and scope to focus on a way to expand the network of individuals and researchers. This team's work might include hosting a set of interviews, dialogs, or talks which could be shared on a blog, as a webinar series, or through some other communications platform.
See NDSA:Future projects for areas for the group to explore at a latter date.
