In the last few years libraries from all around the world have build up OAIS compliant archival systems. The information packages in these systems are often based on METS and the contents are mainly e-journals and scientific publications. On the other hand Web archiving is becoming more and more important for libraries. Most of the member institutions of the International Internet Preservation ...

Metadata has the proven ability to provide information necessary for successful long-term curation of digital objects. However, without curation metadata itself may deteriorate in terms of its quality and integrity over time. Therefore, a digital curation process needs to incorporate the curation of metadata along with that of data in order to ensure the accurate description of data over time. ...

OBJECTIVE This article critically reviews two decades of empirically based depression studies on older Asian immigrants (OAIs) in North America published in English. The Psychosocial Model of Late-Life Depression is proposed as the conceptual roadmap to help interpret the findings across studies. METHODS Using multiple bibliographic databases, this review systematically summarized and evaluat...

The field of digital preservation is being defined by a set of standards developed top-down, starting with an abstract reference model (OAIS) and gradually adding more specific detail. Systems claiming conformance to these standards are entering production use. Work is underway to certify that systems conform to requirements derived from OAIS. We complement these requirements derived top-down b...

We introduce the digital preservation problem and explain the importance of metadata for the preservation of the digital information, especially to the cultural content. We emphasize that the digital information will only be available if the necessary metadata are appropriately designed and specified. We also present the Reference Model for an “Open Archival Information System” (OAIS), which is...

This paper describes a proposal for a logical data model based on preliminary work within the Planets project. In OAIS terms the main areas discussed are related to the introduction of a logical data model for representing the past, present and future versions of the digital object associated with the Archival Storage Package for the publications deposited by our client repositories.

The product lifecycle spans from idea generation, design, manufacturing, and service to disposal. During all these phases, engineers use their knowledge to fulfill their tasks. If engineers retire or leave a company, their embodied knowledge also resigns. To circumvent such loss of important company’s intellectual property, and to enable traceability and reuse of product data in the future, the...

One of the major challenges involved in digital preservation is to understand what the problem of preserving digital objects is in all of its diverse, idiosyncratic instantiations, rather than to look for uniform, technically feasible, economically sustainable, and standard-compliant solutions. We argue that by using a situated, descriptive approach to the investigation of actual environments w...
