The Stanford Archival Repository Project: Preserving our digital past
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Stanford Archival Repository Project aims to build a robust archiving system that can protect digital objects from failures over very long time spans. Objects are replicated among cooperating digital archives, so that if any archive fails its objects survive. We have designed an architecture for digital archives, and developed techniques for efficiently replicating objects to remote sites. We have also built simulation software that allows an archivist to design the most effective archiving system possible despite limited resources.

The Stanford Archival Vault: A reliable, long-term data archive
Information stored and managed in an archive today can be lost within years or decades if special care is not taken. The causes include media and system failures and format obsolescence. At Stanford we have implemented a prototype archival repository, the Stanford Archival Vault (SAV, pronounced \save"), for the long term preservation of digital objects. These objects may include documents, the...
متن کاملImplementing a Reliable Digital Object Archive
An Archival Repository reliably stores digital objects for long periods of time (decades or centuries). The archival nature of the system requires new techniques for storing, indexing, and replicating digital objects. In this paper we discuss the specialized indexing needs of a write-once archive. We also present a reliability algorithm for effectively replicating sets of related objects. We de...
متن کاملPreserving Digital Public Television: Not Just an Archive, but a New Attitude to Preserve Public Broadcasting
Television production has shifted rapidly from an analog process to one where virtually all programs are created and finalized as digital files. Such productions in public television are at great risk of being lost, because practices for long-term preservation of digital video are just now emerging, and because there is no mandate for preservation within the public broadcasting system. NDIIPP f...
متن کاملDocumenting genomics: Applying archival theory to preserving the records of the Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Archive Project (HGAP) aimed to preserve the documentary heritage of the UK's contribution to the Human Genome Project (HGP) by using archival theory to develop a suitable methodology for capturing the results of modern, collaborative science. After assessing past projects and different archival theories, the HGAP used an approach based on the theory of documentation strategy t...
متن کاملDeveloping a Meaningful Digital Self-Archiving Model: Archival Theory vs. Natural Behavior in the Minds of Carolina Project
This paper will review the findings from a research project concluded in 2004, which had the primary goal of learning more about the natural behaviors of people choosing materials for inclusion in a digital archive. Project participants, retiring faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had a number of tasks to perform. They had to 1) survey and choose the materials to include...
