* sustain this activity by building a community of Wikipedians to join us in this activity
* 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

* Responsibilities: Manage the project (keep it on-track, provide status updates), Design contribution process (e.g. who can contribute, editorial review process?, how to publicize contribution process), Design information framework (e.g. the elements to record about each standard, controlled vocabulary values), Perform analysis on collated standards and best practices, Write summary report
* Participants: Entire Working Group
* Responsibilities: Identify and describe relevant standards and best practices
