APT Trustworthy Digital Repository / Certification Working Group Progress Report, October 2015 Stephen Paul Davis, Columbia University Libraries Why Create a Consortial Trustworthy Digital Repository? To responsibly preserve our cultural record for the future To be able to assure donors that their digital and digitized collections will be responsibly cared for and made available over the long term To be able to assure funding agencies that their grants and gifts will yield long-term benefits To make it unnecessary for individual institutions to build separate, standalone preservation repositories To reduce the costs of long-term preservation What is a TDR? (Reminder) A repository that has implemented ISO 14721:2012, Space data and information transfer systems – Open archival information system (OAIS) – Reference model A repository that is in compliance with ISO 16363:201, Space data and information transfer systems -- Audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories A repository that has undergone certification according to ISO 16919:2014, Requirements for Bodies Providing Audit and Certification of Candidate Trustworthy Digital Repositories Key Characteristics of a TDR Organizational Infrastructure Governance and Organizational Viability Organizational Structure and Staffing Preservation Policy and Framework Financial Sustainability Digital Object Management Acquisition of Content Creation of Archival Information Package Preservation Planning Access Management Infrastructure and Security Risk Management Content Replication Technology Inventory and Monitoring Technical Audits Software Replacement and Monitoring APTrust’s Opportunity To build a TDR from the ground up rather than after the fact To help shape the technical, policy and organizational framework of APT to meet the goal of “trustworthiness” To save time and money when formal audit and certification is conducted Which Repositories Have Already Been Certified?

Related Task Areas / Topics for Discussion Does APTrust’s implementation of the OAIS Reference Model conform to ISO 14721:2012? What should depositors’ SIPs include in order to meet OAIS and TDR requirements? What role might APTrust have in supporting the “curation lifecycle”? Does the preservation of born-digital content such as institutional records and research data raise new questions / bring new opportunities? Proposed Timeframe for TDR/Cert 2015 November-December: Document Current APTrust Environment; identify gaps, issues 2016 January-June: Collaborate to fill gaps, address issues 2016 June-December: Conduct full self-audit (possibly with outside consultant) 2017: Formal ISO 16363 Audit Current info will be posted to http://tinyurl.com/APTTDR
