OBJECTIVE To determine the utility of Manufacturer and User Friendly Device Experience (MAUDE) database in studying osseointegrated auditory implant (OAI)-related complications. METHODS The MAUDE database was searched for all reports involving OAIs (ie, Baha, Ponto, Sophono). Complications were classified into 1 or more of 6 categories-implant, abutment, processor, skin, surgery, and other. S...

The DARELUX project envisages long-term storage of hydrology measurement data in a permanent archive. In order to make the DARELUX hydrology data sets accessible in an unknown future, a future-proof metadata element set is wanted. An analysis of current standards and best practices for metadata lead to the choice of the metadata of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, with an addition of archi...

Distributed digital preservation is a maturing and appealing solution to the pressing problem of ensuring the survivability of digital content. Like all other digital preservation efforts, distributed digital preservation solutions must communicate trust to their Designated Communities as they continue to mature. The following paper discusses the importance of establishing this trust, retraces ...

Provenance description is necessary for long-term preservation of digital resources. Open Archival Information System (OAIS) and Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies (PREMIS), which are well-known standards designed for digital preservation, define descriptive elements for digital preservation. Metadata has to be preserved as well as primary resource in order to keep the primary res...

Los repositorios institucionales representan la denominada Vía Verde del movimiento Acceso Abierto, facilitando el acceso a información y gestión de memoria científica las universidades centros investigación. En ese sentido, no solo debe optimizarse su funcionamiento en términos garantizar organización recuperación los documentos sino también, procesos interoperabilidad preservación digital. Es...

 Global Approach: It considers the preservation process as a whole, including all its aspects.  Efficient and flexible: Driven by the most worldwide accepted preservation standard (ISO 14.721-OAIS), while at the same time keeping a practical and efficient approach derived from practical experience in real projects.  Look-through model: The user has a total control over the status and locatio...

Selection and metadata issues which surround the preservation of digital information are discussed, in particular, the assignment of “collection levels” to Web materials to ensure preservation, and some Preservation Metadata Element Sets (PMES) which have been identified as informed by the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model. A metadata framework that can support a broad ran...
