The APTrust Architecture Presentation.
The APTrust Architecture Presentation. Scott Turnbull. Academic Preservation Trust. May 6, 2013.
The Academic Preservation Trust (APTrust) consortium is developing a preservation environment. The website includes slides presenting the APTrust Phase I Architecture. It gives a general look at the components being developed. The APTrust repository will serve as a replicating node for the Digital Preservation Network (DPN). At the local level, APTrust will provide a preservation environment for participating members, including disaster recovery services.

Digital Preservation Matters - 4 August 2009
OpenWMS: Workflow Management System for Digital Objects. Rutgers. August 2009.
Books Online:
Rutgers has released their OpenWMS software for creating metadata for analog and digital materials. It is platform-independent and open source. The web-accessible system that can be used as a standalone application or integrated with other repository architectures. It provides a complete metadata creation system with services to ingest objects and metadata into a Fedora repository and can export these objects and metadata, individually and in bulk in a METS/XML Wrapper.
RODA is an open source digital repository specially designed for Archives, with long-term preservation and authenticity as its primary objectives. Created by the Portuguese Directorate-General for the Portuguese Archives and the University of Minho, it was designed to support the most recent archival standards and become a trustworthy digital repository.

Digital Preservation Survey. Fedora Commons. July 2009.
The Fedora Preservation Solutions Community survey was created to gather information about and examples of digital preservation developments, practices, and needs, regarding the management of digital content in repositories, specifically using open source software like Fedora. The results were not specific to Fedora users. The results of the survey were shared at the Open Repositories Conference (May 18 – 21, 2009) in Atlanta, GA. The survey and the results are available from this site. Some items of interest in the results:
- 55.7% who answered are currently archiving and preserving digital materials
- 36.9% are planning to preserve digital materials
- 71.6% are using an open source platform for their digital archive
- 45.0% use Fedora, 43.3% use DSpace
The Preservation and Archiving Solution Community posted these above three items on the Fedora Commons website. The wiki and listserv are open to all who are interested in archiving and digital preservation.
Digital repositories are a key element of research cyber infrastructure. The repository services are built on a foundation of content, context, and access, which need to be balanced. They are still developing. Digital is not just a new way to collect and distribute, but it has brought new kinds of content and services. Institutions produce large and ever-growing quantities of data, images, multimedia works, learning objects, and digital records. The repositories should not be managed as isolated collections. They are about the users as much as the content, and services need to be developed to meet the needs. “As research libraries embark on repository service development, they enter a brand new business in many ways.”
- Understand needs of users and creators in order to develop repository-related services.
- Use a life-cycle management framework to guide services and policies.
- Express the value of repository services to justify resources, promote partnerships, efforts.
- Integrate collections into emerging services that are outside of library-managed repositories.
- Participate in shaping the technology of repositories and service mechanisms.
Important actions for libraries include:
- Build new kinds of partnerships and alliances, within and between institutions.
- Develop service strategies based on assessment of local needs
- Develop outreach and marketing strategies to connect others to the library environment
- Define responsibilities to guide the development of repository services for different types of content.

Update on Progress - Fedora Preservation and Archiving
From: fedora_preservation-bounces@email.rutgers.edu On Behalf Of Ron Jantz
Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 9:06 AM
To: fedora_preservation@email.rutgers.edu
Subject: Update on Progress - Fedora Preservation and Archiving
To All,
This email provides an update on progress of the Fedora Preservation and Archiving Solution Community (Wiki url attached below). From our Birds of a Feather (BOF) discussion at the OR 2009 conference, there was considerable interest in preservation policies. We have posted on the Wiki several policies from libraries and archives that you may find useful. There is also a "model" document available that you can use to develop a preservation policy framework.
Finally, we are exploring the possibility of doing another BOF discussion at the iPres 2009 conference in San Francisco (October 5 & 6). Your comments and feedback will help us focus the BOF on your specific needs.
Thanks for your interest and comments. If you know others who want to join the list, the url is attached below.

Digital Preservation survey
We are interested in gathering some basic information regarding digital preservation initiatives by organizations, especially examples involving repositories and related tools. If you are working on a digital preservation project or initiative, please complete the survey. It's brief and will only take a few minutes:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=QxAuojbaOoS2LpoJiqWW8A_3d_3d.
We are interested in responses regarding the use of any repository, not only Fedora. We are conducting the survey as part of the launch of the Fedora Commons Preservation and Archiving Solutions Community, a new group that is focused on providing examples of preservation in action. A challenge for organizations is in getting practical examples to use in modeling their own implementations. The preservation solution community hopes to bring together individuals and organizations to make implementation easier.
It would be ideal if you could complete the survey by April 15, 2009 because we are hoping to present preliminary results at a birds-of-a-feather (BOF) session at the Open Repositories Conference 2009 in mid-May in Atlanta, Georgia. However, the survey will remain open after the above date to continue to gather responses.
Thanks for your input.
