Agent Technology Supporting Digital Preservation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The EU FP7 PROTAGE project opens up a novel approach to digital preservation by utilizing agent ecosystems for automation of preservation processes. The resulting preservation tools have the potential to enable integrated automated digital preservation operations in digital archives and libraries of different scales throughout Europe. It could also assist individuals in preserving their personal digital collections. The PROTAGE multi-agent system, a set of integrated tools, is developed as a prototype system in several iterations. The first prototype contains functionality for pre-ingest, i.e. the preparation of information packages for transfer from active usage to a digital archive.

We characterize long-term preservation of digital content as an extended relay in time, in which repeated handoffs of information occur independently at every architectural layer: at the physical layer, where bits are handed off between storage systems; at the logical layer, where digital objects are handed off between repository systems; and at the administrative layer, where collections of ob...
متن کاملAn ontological model for digital preservation
The long-term preservation of digital resources requires assigning appropriate metadata. Several recommendations exist for preservation metadata reflecting the purposes and major preoccupations of the organizations that proposed each one. Digital resources are either digital surrogates of non-digital objects, or original digital objects. In either case we may assume that, if a digital resource ...
