We should put in something... How about: --- Panel: Assessing and Mitigating Bit-Level Preservation Risks 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. --- We could organize the panel around 3 mid-length presentations and discussion, have a round-table discussion (with a short intro/summary) or a set of lightning talks followed by discussion/round table. I think the last would be more fun... but we'd more people from the group to volunteer... I'll step up to chair and present 1 mid/lightning talk if desired. Any other volunteers? Karen? Andrea? Mark (# of copies?)? Trevor (survey results?)? Others? What do y'all think? thanks, Micah On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 4:04 PM, Bailey, Jefferson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I think the storage report, our "topics" conversations, and maybe our OSS work (admittedly, still developing) are all candidates for a poster or lightening talk.
