Hi All, I was really impressed by how swiftly we got down to business yesterday and formed some action items. Per our conversation on weighing in with our areas of interest for gathering standards/best-practices, I just thought I would put my foot forward on roping in Preservation Models & Evaluation Metrics. This is where my head is at currently. This would be models like OAIS, PAIMAS, and metrics like the Digital Preservation Readiness Assessment, TRAC, DRAMBORA, Data Seal of Approval, etc. If anyone else is living in this space right now - which wouldn't surprise me - would be happy to coordinate on making sure we compile as full a record as possible on each of these. As I mentioned yesterday, I am also interested in delineating some of the supplemental standards that informed these "standards/best-practices." I'll be happy to dive into some other categories with folks as well, and perhaps I'll suggest some further areas in a forthcoming email. This was just my low-hanging fruit. Question: There are several articles that have been published on the application of these models & metrics in various environments, might it be worthwhile to carve out a space to be able to identify some of these? This holds true for many of the other standards that are at various stages of development and acceptance within the community. Perhaps these would prove invaluable at our later stages of analysis and reporting? Thoughts? -- Matt Schultz Collaborative Services Librarian Educopia Institute, MetaArchive Cooperative http://www.metaarchive.org [log in to unmask] 616-566-3204
