Planning a digital preservation assessment using TRAC:CC and DRAMBORA
OhioLINK is engaged in building a “trusted digital repository” on behalf of its membership. As we build it, we want to have an understanding of what “trusted” means, and so we are engaging in an audit process to assess whether we can claim to be trustworthy. This process is panning out to have four major phases:
- Research common and best practices for preservation.
- Evaluate the OhioLINK policies and processes against common and best practices.
- Perform a gap analysis between where we are now and where common and best practices suggest we should be.
- Propose and adopt policies and processes that get us closer to the ideal common and best practices.
This is a report at the end of phase 1. Earlier this year, two major reports were released that address how one measures a “trustworthy repository.” The two reports are summarized below, followed by a recommendation.
