Jisc Research Data Spring Long Term Preservation Analysis and Recommendations

See all projects | About this work | Jisc Research Data Spring

The DPC has examined the challenges addressed, and results of, the Jisc Research Data Spring projects. It has provided recommendations on how the work can be enhanced from a digital preservation perspective as the projects continue on towards a third and final development phase in early 2016. This analysis considered challenges, gaps in the provision of solutions, potential for collaboration and opportunities for sustainability, all from the perspective of long term digital preservation. These wiki pages also provide a good source of information on the projects, collated from a number of sources.

This diagram shows the Research Data Spring Projects mapped onto the functional model of the OAIS standard. Although a little confusing due to the overlayed imagery, it provides an "at a glance" view of the main focus of each project. For more detail, see the synthesis of the projects in the context of the OAIS model, by Jen Mitchum of the Filling the Digital Preservation Gap project.
