Standards and Practices Working Group
NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Charter (December 10, 2010)
Current Members
A list of current members is posted here: NDSA:Standards and Practices Working Group Members.
Statement of Purpose
The Standards and Practices Working Group will work to facilitate a community-wide understanding of the role and benefit of standards in digital preservation and how to use them effectively to ensure durable and usable collections. The Group will also develop, recommend, promote, and disseminate information about effective methods for selecting, organizing, describing, managing, preserving and serving digital content, in collaboration with other individuals and organizations where appropriate.
Current Scope of Work
Working group members may initiate and engage in new work at any time by forming Action Teams focused on specific projects or tasks. In addition, the Working Group will conduct the following project.
Survey and document the digital preservation standards landscape
Objectives:
- Identify and describe existing digital preservation standards and best practices
- Identify opportunities for collaboration with non-NDSA individuals and organizations who are currently working on digital preservation standards and best practices
- Identify gaps in digital preservation standards and best practices coverage that could be addressed by this working group in future activities
Scope:
- Compilation of existing digital preservation standards and best practices, 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
Categories: Content models Content packaging Content transfer Digital preservation strategies and techniques Digital preservation terms and concepts File formats Encodings Metadata exchange Metadata schemas Repository architecture Repository certification and trustworthiness Repository operations Repository policies
- Examples of where and how they are used
- Related documents and Web sites
- Analysis and synthesis
- Identify gaps, areas of potential collaboration, etc.
- Publication of survey as an online resource
Deliverables:
- Our original goal was to to create an online resource that could be continually updated by the NDSA Standards and Practices group and accessed by the general public. As of December 2011, our current, somewhat broader plan, is:
- to develop a Digital Preservation "WikiProject" within Wikipedia as an umbrella for creating and improving information about digital preservation generally and preservation standards and best practices;
- redevelop the current Wikipedia "Digital Preservation" page so that it can serve as an appropriate launch page to more detailed information about standards and best practices;
- to create / update pages describing current standards and best practices in the field of digital preservation;
- to consult with others involved in digital preservation to encourage their input and contributions to the effort;
- to report back to the NDSA steering committee with updates and proposals as to how to continue this effort into the future.
- Links to current work are posted here:
Schedule
- Early Spring 2011: Project planning
- Late Spring 2011: Rough draft of report
- Summer 2011: “Live” online resource
- Summer 2011: Report on work at the NDSA annual conference
Logistics & methodology
- Progress will be reported via the regular working group phone meetings.
- Discussions will happen on listserv and via emails and phone calls as needed
- NDSA Standards and Practices working group wiki space will be used to collate resources and work on the deliverables
- A Google Doc Spreadsheet may work better to collate resources because of its support for collaborative editing and column sorting.
