Thanks Karen. And so everyone has the information in one place.


The proposed session:

* Assessing and Mitigating Bit-Level Preservation Risks*
*
**Format*:

4-8 lightning talks, followed by roundtable discussion

*Example topics*:

how many copies?; impact of encryption on risk; impact of compression and
deduplication affects risk;  auditing/repair frequency and risk ; published
vs observed failure rate for on-line and offline media;

*Session Abstract*:


Curators who are responsible for ensuring long-term access to digital
material must understand and confront a broad spectrum of risks.Advances in
technology and infrastructure for digital storage offer new opportunities
-- but complicate evaluation and management of bit-level preservation risk:
Digital assets can be replicated by a
variety of third-party ‘cloud’ providers; assets can be compressed and/or
encrypted; and  the integrity of assets can be audited at varying
frequencies using a variety of procedures. How do these options affect
preservation risk and cost? What is the most cost-effective set of storage
choices to achieve a desired level of risk from bit-level loss?

This panel explores these questions -- highlighting known trade-offs,
current practices, and areas of uncertainty that require additional
research.  The panel will draw on work by the NDSA Infrastructure group and
its members, including interviews of cloud providers, a
survey of storage practices, expert discussions, and  ongoing research.
