Relay of the CNI panel discussion (NDSA on the Move, Bethany and Oliver)

Presentation: "Emulation and Virtualization for Digital Preservation and Access"

  • Representatives from the Coordinating Committee (Micah, Robin, Abby) talked about why DLF was chosen
  • Bethany and Oliver from DLF talked about why they answered the call
  • Summary of the feedback at CNI:
    • A terrain map of how DLF, CLIR, NDSA and others fit together is needed
    • People want ot know how to get more involved with the NDSA WGs
    • People have preferred the practical NDSA products over the theoretical

Feedback from S and P WG for DLF

  • What WG things have you liked?
    • Several people said the Levels of Preservation and Fixity report
    • Knowing that we all have the same issues
    • Cross-WG activities
    • Want to continue to try to collaborate with commercial companies
  • Any feedback on the monthly calls? Should they be monthly or scheduled as needed to work on projects?
    • Several people said that they liked having monthly calls. One reason given is that it provides a beneficial pressure to get things done.
    • Several liked the showcases (e.g. speakers on video, digital art, email)
    • A couple people thought the WG would benefit from adding agenda planning meetings a few times a year to brainstorm topics, which would also take some of the burden off the co-chairs)


Q&A

Q1. I haven't heard of people talk about using emulation for archived email. Have you done any work on this or are you starting to explore it?

A1. I have opened a PST in an emulated Outlook but haven't tried to show it within the context of the whole email account which would be interesting. With email there are some issues - the appraisal of it and the scale of it.
