Advanced Digital Preservation

摘要

This book invites the digital preservation community to consider the complexities of born-digital objects and their stewardship issues in more detail. An experienced digital preservation reader will notice the presence of familiar topics - authenticity, significant properties, the Open Archival Information System (OAIS), digital preservation costs, etc. The book is intended for professionals who deal with digital preservation that "goes beyond simply preserving rendered objects" (see p. viii; e.g. text documents, pictures). Attention is drawn to more complex digital objects such as research data, digital art, music and, consequently, adding more in-depth context and comments to widely known concepts, definitions and processes.
