NDSA:New Work

Ideas for new projects:

• Certifications (e.g. TRAC, DRAMBORA, ISO 16363:2012)
  • Hear from institutions who have gone through certification?
  • Discuss merits/issues related to current certification processes & methods
• Adoption of standards (which standards are institutions using?)
• Terms of service (e.g., committment to URL persistence)
• File formats (specifically PDF/A-3)
  • See the LC Signal link blog post
  • Is PDF a good packaging format? If not, what's better? If so, what are some best practices that the preserving community can push out that will guide PDF creators to the benefit of long-term preservation?
  • Where and when PDF/A-3 is a suitable decision?
