CA Digital preservation will begin to come into its own. The past five years were about building access; now standards are coalescing and more focus is being paid to actual preservation strategies. Major legal obstacles include the DMCA, which restricts what institutions can do to preserve digital information. There are economic challenges, and we do not really know how much digital preservation will cost.
Phrases
<P1> There will be change, there is no guarantee that you can pick a technology and stay with it for ten years. We have to have an awareness of technological change and what's coming -- we listen to peers and the larger institutions that are taking leading and bleeding edge roles, and we make wise decisions. So in this case it is OK to be trailing edge and choose something that is well-established." (p.3)

DC OAIS emerged out of an initiative spearheaded by NASA's Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems. It has been shaped and promoted by the RLG and OCLC. Several international projects have played key roles in shaping the OAIS model and adapting it for use in libraries, archives and research repositories. OAIS-modeled repositories include the CEDARS Project, Harvard's Digital Repository, Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB), the Library of Congress' Archival Information Package for audiovisual materials, MIT's D-Space, OCLC's Digital Archive and TERM: the Texas Email Repository Model.
CA The metadata necessary for successful management and use of digital objects is both more extensive than and different from the metadata used for managing collections of printed works and other physical materials. Without structural metadata, the page image or text files comprising the digital work are of little use, and without technical metadata regarding the digitization process, scholars may be unsure of how accurate a reflection of the original the digital version provides. For internal management purposes, a library must have access to appropriate technical metadata in order to periodically refresh and migrate the data, ensuring the durability of valuable resources.
