The follow is a draft list of possible case studies the will be developed by the Government Content team: Statement of the Problem and Goals for Addressing the Problem: Government content is selected for preservation based on records retention schedules that identify records for preservation within the content areas of their institutional mandate. The concept of "best practice" should be measured by the extent to which procedures and methods seek to adhere to the standards set in TRAC and ISO 16363. The actionable next steps for the team include the development of the following case studies: 1) Develop a list of commonly used electronic formats that are ranked according to three levels of preservation and access quality for each format type (video, audio, text, photo, etc.) that can aid in the development of effective transfer guidelines. 2) Developed a list of agreed upon functional requirements for selecting preservation software based on the OAIS Reference model and serving governments at various levels 3) Provide sample preservation policy statements that can be used by government institutions with a similar environment. 4) Provide studies of appraisal rationale and methods that facilitate the transfer of records in preservation ready and accessible formats by making records creators aware of preservation needs. The studies will be created in the order that they are listed based on the interest and resources of the group. Many other useful case studies might be suggested for other phases of the life cycle with more time and resources. The case studies suggested are believed to be the most useful ones to save at risk electronic records. The team will coordinate with the State Electronic Records Initiative (SERI) in refining these case studies and distributing them for use in training institutes. -----Original Message----- From: The NDSA Content working group list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Hartman, Cathy Sent: Monday, November 05, 2012 5:39 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [NDSA-CONTENT] NDSA Content WG Call - Wed (11/7) 11 AM EST Hello All, Below is the agenda for our Wednesday call, brief reports form some of our Content Teams, and the call in information. I hope that many of you can join us. If you are a Content Team facilitator and would like to bring a draft of a case study for the group to discuss, please be prepared to do so. If we missed your Content team report in our email and you would like to get a short report out to everyone, please send it to Content WG all. Content WG Call: Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 11 AM Eastern time, 10 AM Central, 9 AM Mountain, 8 AM Pacific Agenda: --Upcoming Presentations about our work: BPE presentation & Archive-IT and other presentations (everyone) --Content teams: Are there questions or reports from the Content Teams that need to be brought up for discussion? (everyone) --Case study review: Discussion of case studies that teams have prepared and are ready to talk through with the group. --Next call Content Team Reports: Geospatial Content Team: Working to address sustainability solutions for the geopreservation.gov resource. Exploring opportunities to engage with the geospatial industry through invited speakers. Upcoming, a presentation by Wayne Graham of the University of Virginia's Scholars' Lab Exploring and sharing partner geospatial collection development policies Social sciences Team We posted examples of "How to provide guidance and assessment on the life of data. Not all data are meant to be kept forever." There is a Google Doc that will be transferred or linked from the NDSA wiki. The Science, Mathematics, Technology and Medicine content team met on September 24 to discuss the development of content case studies. We've prepared two drafts, one for forums and one for blogs, and plan to meet November 8 to discuss any further revisions. These drafts, as well as our meeting notes, are posted on the wiki. I would also like to note that we've added a new member to our content team, Jennifer Harbster from LC. The Arts and Humanities Team had their first meeting on September 26th and are now working on brainstorming potential case studies and defining a model specifically for arts and humanities case studies. The group is hoping to meet again in the end of November where we'll revisit our brainstorm and discuss collaboration opportunities with the Cultural Heritage Group. Our September meeting minutes are available for download on the Arts and Humanities Content Team page on the NDSA Wiki. Gail Truman is now a co-facilitator with the Arts and Humanities Team. Cultural Heritage Team We discussed the advisability of closer collaboration with the Arts and Humanities Team, facilitated by Jonathan McGlone. We compiled our documents associated with the case study, and concluded from the last CWG phone conference that a broader approach may be advisable, and would seem to make closer cooperation with Arts & Humanities likewise advisable. The two teams have been in contact since that time. A&H has recently met and has taken an approach to divide up their mandate by topic, whereas Cultural Heritage has focused on the mode of oral history across topical areas. Discussions between A&H and Cultural Heritage continue.
