Heute am 30.11.2017 ist der erste "International Digital Preservation Day" (#iDPD17).

"Digital Prerservation" entspricht der "Langzeitarchivierung", besser jedoch ohne Pleonasmus als "Archivierung" im Sinne des Bundesarchivgesetzes.
Ein Thema ist auch Web-Archivierung. Hier sehen professionelle Archivorganisationen massive Gefährdung der Verfügbarkeit. Ein Großteil des frühen Internets ist bereits verloren. Dabei geht es gar nicht einmal um einzelne Webseiten sondern um das Gesamtbild der Entwicklung von Internet und Web. Bereits 2003 hatten wir bei PROJECT CONSULT vor der offenen Flanke der elektronischen Archivierung (Teil 1 http://bit.ly/WebArchivierung; Teil 2 http://bit.ly/WebArchivierung2) gewarnt.

PROJECT CONSULT archiviert seit Jahren ihre alten Webpräsenzen - und zwar voll lauffähig alle Versionen seit 1998. http://bit.ly/qumramPCHH

Digital Preservation Coalition und der #iDPD17

Interessant ist die vom dpc und anderen Organisationen veröffentlichte Liste "gefährdeter Formate": http://bit.ly/BitList  Wer diese Formate noch sein eigen nennt, sollte schnellstmöglich diese konvertieren und archivieren! Die meisten der erwähnten Formate sind jedoch noch gar nicht in Archive gelangt. Aber bei vielen "Exoten" ist es schon heute notwendig diese zu konvertieren und zu migrieren. Richtig verbindliche Aussagen macht die "Bit List of Endangered Species" jedoch nicht.

Lower Risk

Digital materials are listed as Lower Risk when it does not meet the requirements for other categories but where there is a distinct preservation requirement.  Failure or removal of the preservation function would result in re-classification to one of the threatened categories.
