Collecting Usage Data for Digital Preservation

While IT environments are moving towards personalized and context-aware adaptive content and services, digital preservation systems should go beyond the current mechanisms to preserve digital objects. Social and personal experiences need to be investigated as part of the context of digital resources, i.e., the way in which a resource was used and perceived, by retaining usage data for instance. Overall, users have to be further involved in the digital preservation processes, in the creation of context metadata, in the storage and migration of resources, in particular for personal archives.
