DCC&U: An Extended Digital Curation Lifecycle Model

The proliferation of Web, database and social networking technologies has enabled us to produce, publish and exchange digital assets at an enormous rate. This vast amount of information that is either digitized or born-digital needs to be collected, organized and preserved in a way that ensures that our digital assets and the information they carry remain available for future use. Digital curat...

Draft DCC Curation Lifecycle Model

Lifecycle management of digital materials can help conceptualisation of the stages required to successfully curate digital material. A number of discipline specific models, and more generally applicable standards, have been developed which can be used as a basis when planning and implementing organisational management of digital material.

An extended Component Lifecycle

Based on latest achievements in the field of Component Based Design (CBD) and Component Oriented Programming (COP), this article shows how a component lifecycle can be extended. The well-known Hierarchical Model View Controller (HMVC) design pattern is considered for the identification of the two concerns Showable and Loadable Following, these two concerns are added to a component to demonstrat...

Left unattended, digital information degrades over time. Even if the information’s bits are correctly preserved (a difficult task in itself) the technological context surrounding the bits—the computing platforms, programming languages, applications, file formats, and so forth—will change sufficiently over time until the information is no longer usable. Changes in the information’s social contex...
