Bestand:TRAC Trustworthy Repositories Audit & Certification.pdf

Beschrijving

A decade ago, the Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information (1996) declared, “a critical component of digital archiving infrastructure is the existence of a sufficient number of trusted organizations capable of storing, migrating, and providing access to digital collections.” The task force saw that “trusted” or trustworthy organizations could not simply identify themselves. To the contrary, the task force declared, “a process of certification for digital archives is needed to create an overall climate of trust about the prospects of preserving digital information.” The task force stopped short of articulating the details of such a certification process. Certainly one obstacle was that though some archives and repositories existed at the time, there was no organized “digital preservation community” with common, consensus-driven practices, let alone standards. Each archive or repository conducted digital preservation in its own manner and to the level that seemed to address funding and user community needs.
