Principles & Best Practice

Eva / Minerva 08/11/2015

Raise issues that will allow to make correct decisions

Raise awareness of issues that can make or break a digital project

Objective:

Considerations of a Digital Project

How to Preserve? Future Uses?

Preservation?

Who’s the Audience?

Access via Internet? How?

What to Scan? All Part?

What is the Project Objective?

Audience Expectations

How complete? Effort?If I build it, will they come?

Best Practice for Standardization

• Archival standards: ISAD(G), ISDIAH, ISAAR-CPF, DACS….

• Digitization (format, PPI)

• File naming

• Long-term digital preservation (LTDP) (OAIS, PREMIS)

• Data exchange: EAD

OAIS (Open Archival Information System) A reference model for long-term preservation of digital assets.

PREMIS (PREservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies)

Archive Network Israel Project

• ISO 1551 (ISIL) - International Standard identifier for archives (link)

• Adoption of ISAD(G), ISDIAH

• EAD for data exchange between archival institutions – EADi

• שותפים - הפרויקט אתר

EADi (EAD-Israel)

Conclusions

• Use accepted standards

• Implement best practices to ensure best possible

• Digitization

• Long-term digital preservation

• Data sharing and exchange

• End-user access

2 ApproachesTake Risks

Don’t take risks

RisksTrademark

Copyright

Privacy

Slander

Ensure status of copyright

Adopt a strategy

Perform due-diligence

Document due-diligence

Get permits, agreements in writing!

Control end user usage

Insurance

Know the law

Know who and when to ask

How do we minimize risk?

“Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world;

Unreasonable people try to change the world to fit their fantasies.

Therefore, all progress is thanks to unreasonable people”

Engage the crowd

User feedback promotes discussion and thinking

So what do we want to know?

• What is the size of the audience?

• Who is the audience?

• Where is the audience?

• How does our audience use its time?

• How much of this time is dedicated toward being our

audience?

• What material interests our audience the most? The least?

Feedback Surveys Work groups Monitor the crowd
