This paper outlines challenges and requirements for developing tools and services supporting automated generation, management, evolution, and execution of Data Management Plans (DMPs) by reviewing Research Data Management (RDM) processes represented by Knowledge-based and Process-oriented Innovation Management (German: Wissenbasiertes Prozess-orientiertes Innovationsmanagement, WPIM). Based on ...

The TIPR Project (Towards Interoperable Preservation Repositories) runs from October 2008 through September 2010. The aim of the project is to develop, test, and promote a standard format for exchanging information packages among OAIS-based repositories. This paper reviews the use cases for the transfer of information from one repository to another, reviews the Repository eXchange Format (RXP) ...

Various efforts aimed at representing digital assets have emerged from several communities over the last years, including the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS), the IMS Content Packaging (IMS-CP) XML Binding and the XML Formatted Data Units (XFDU). The MPEG-21 Digital Item Declaration (MPEG-21 DID) is another approach that can be used for the representation of digital assets in...

The CEDARS project within UK academia seeks to develop a demonstrator system to recommend techniques for long-term storage of digital data primarily within the research library context. The intention is that this demonstrator will conform to (the spirit of) the OAIS (Open Archival Information System) model [1], and put some flesh on the model’s generic bones. This paper describes our current sc...

Today, more and more information is being produced in a digital form. In addition to this so-called born-digital content, material that was produced to exist in an analogue form is now being digitised both for preservation and for easier access. This digital information comes in an ever greater variety of formats, many of which are relatively short-lived. Newer versions of the same software are...

Archivematica began in 2008 as a working hypothesis that assumed a comprehensive yet free digital preservation system could be created by matching existing open-source software tools against the OAIS functional model. Five years later the production release of the software is ready to go into production at several major North American archives and libraries, while the beta version is already wi...

Vast amounts of scientific, cultural, social, business and government, other, information is being created every day. There are billions objects, in a multitude formats, semantics associated software. Much, perhaps the majority, this transitory but there still an immense amount which should be preserved for medium long term – even indefinitely.
