Preservation Strategies and Standards
The
Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards function is responsible
for developing and recommending strategies and standards to enable the archive
to better anticipate future changes in the Designated Community service requirements
or technology trends that would require migration of some current archive holdings
or new submissions. This function receives reports from the Monitor Designated
Communities and Monitor Technology functions, and it receives performance information,
inventory reports and summarized consumer comments from Administration. This
function sends recommendations on system evolution to Administration. This function
also receives external data standards from Monitor Technology and produces profiles
of those standards that are sent to Administration as proposals on their potential
usage. This function also receives issues from Develop Packaging Designs and
Migration Plans in the case of unanticipated submission requirements, and responds
with advice to handle the new requirements.
