Dear all, In our last call we mentioned an activity started by the Content working group that was discussed at the March 29-30 NDSA planning meeting. It's an effort to define 3 progressive levels of digital preservation (level 1 - silver, level 2 - gold, and level 3 - platinum), by their intent, characteristics and supported activities. These levels could be used in various ways including providing a way to prioritize limited resources on meeting particular requirements. Now that the content working group has started off this effort, a cross working group team is forming to further develop and review these levels. So far there are a few people from the Infrastructure working group (including me) and I believe some people from the Content working group who started this project involved. This sound very 'standards & practices' related to me so please send me an email if you would like to participate in this effort.
