Help Define the Long-Term Digital Retention and Preservation Reference Model
While OAIS exists as the ISO standard of a reference model for a digital archive, it doesn't map adequately to the needs of large-scale distributed organizations operating on the internet or in the cloud and faced with the added cost burdens of legal and security risk, litigation, compliance and business requirements.
New capabilities and broader architectures are needed. Many organizations are extending OAIS, and it is time to begin gathering and defining best practices and common architectures. A simple example is all the noise around "Cloud Archiving." We are leading the discussion, planning, using case definition, and best practices definition on the utilization of the Cloud for digital Archives. (Meaning preservation stores, not tiering.) 32% of the respondents in SNIA's new survey declared that they plan on using the cloud for long-term retention periods more than 10 years. Sorry folks, traditional IT practices don't support this. Significant portions of that data will be lost in 10 years. Is that acceptable?
Join LTDP and help define these important areas.
The LTDP reference model community is being organized to respond to these many needs as digital preservation becomes an IT datacenter practice. Come join in and contribute. The time for development of cost effective, interoperable digital archives in the business and organization datacenter has arrived.
Survey: "How long will data be retained in the Cloud?"
