Recommendation

For preservation's sake, all components of the Compendium should be carefully and fully documented using industry standards. This has been the intent and practice of the project since its inception. As part of the long term preservation strategy for the research products of the Compendium, the components should be treated as separate components and preservation strategies applied which are agnostic to the long term interoperability of the components. The current cohesion of the project should be seen as a point in the digital life of the components and appropriate to its current state and intentions.

As part of the long term preservation strategy for the research products of the Compendium, the components should be treated as separate components and preservation strategies applied which are agnostic to the long term interoperability of the components. The current cohesion of the project should be seen as a point in the digital life of the components and appropriate to its current state and intentions.

Long term access to the research products is mandated under the funding agreement under which the research was created. This agreement stipulates that the research outcomes be preserved and made available to the research community. Although specific practises for maintaining digital repositories remain nascent and fluid, annecdotal evidence suggest that there are specific actions and practises that can contribute to meeting these objectives.

  1. Pursuing multiple means and modes of digital archival storage
  2. Adopting multiple documentary means to capture not just the product, but the means by which the product has been created, stored and presented.

Overview of Globalization Compendium Archive Project

Statement of Problem

As the Globalization & Autonomy MCRI nears its conclusion, efforts must be made to ensure continued and long-term access to its research products. A series of print volumes have been produced containing select articles created under the project. Additionally, participants in the project have published work in journals and volumes independently of the project. In the past, long-term preservation of research materials was under the auspices of the author and the publishers. Research libraries are increasingly bringing new resources to bear to preserve digital materials for long term access. Institutions face challenges hosting material which is 'born digital' and which require a digital infrastructure to enable access. Technical obsolescence of host systems is one of the major obstacles to the long-term accessibility to digital objects. Evolving standards and practises concerning data formats further challenge data accessabity. There are a variety of initiatives underway to address these challenges from a technical perspective. However, research in this area suggests that focus on the technical challenges is less rewarding than the precept that the best way to preserve something is to ensure it has ongoing relevance to a substantial audience that demands its preservation.

In a perfect world, the Globalization Compendium would be situated in a perpetual hosting environment to continue acces to its valuable research products.

However, in the immediate term, we need to determine and execute and archival scheme to preserve the code, the content and the processes inherent in the Compendium object.

The project must be fully documented for go forward efforts. The raw material must be archived into a form will meet criteria for long term preservation and the live digital object will serve as the primary archive ensuring its propagation through popularity.
