LibNova is a digital preservation system builder since 2009 with US offices since 2016
Presented case study in implementing a digital preservation system for 1 PB of data for Madrid City Hall
- Used Level 4 of the NDSA Levels of Preservation as a reference to define system functions
- Connected preservation storage system to access/discovery interface (Blacklight [1])
- Used automated classifier to recognize and organize 98% of data staged for ingest
- Scaled ingest processes across cloud servers to account for increased demand during initial ingest
- System checks fixity every month, requires 2 weeks to finish hashing

The group agreed to deemphasize the discussion of the Levels of Preservation on the Infrastructure page and to describe as a past project
It was also suggested to add links to members' current NDSA activities

Created 2 subgroups
- Survey subgroup designing, deploying, and contextualizing results
- Vendor information subgroup to gather information about how to vendors generate and use fixity information

Created Google Group to coordinate activity
Currenlty refining previous survey questions based on results from the last iteration
Plan to publish report by next September 2017
