- 1. Digisam and the road towards a coordinated digital preservation in Sweden CIDOC 2014, Dresden 9th of September Rolf Källman @rolfkallman Sanja Halling @sanja_halling
- 2. Digisam Digisam, a coordination secretariat for digitisation, digital preservation and digital access, will coordinate the work with national digital strategy and between 2012-2015: – Present recommendations for coordinated digital information management of collections and holdings. – Develop proposals for cost-effective long-term digital preservation of collections and holdings. – Define roles and responsibilities for the work on aggregation, access and preservation of digital cultural heritage information.

- 4. Description of digital information Information in CMS: – Richness of information – Specific systems & standards on: • Institutional level • Domain level • Country level – Preservation perspective = need for common best practices in the management of collections for making them accessible and usable Photo: Motor race on ice – Sweden,1910-1915, Library of Congress, No known restrictions on publication.
- 5. Coordinated digital information management for cultural heritage sector • Standardisation and quality of data and metadata
- 6. Pilot study on digital preservation • to examine the current way of working on digital long- term preservation issues at the state cultural heritage agencies. • current needs and "state of the art" at the national and international levels. • basis for measures to bridge the gap.
- 7. In the framework of the pre-study, different levels of digital preservation were defined: • Short-term preservation – solutions that are used for a short time, 5 years maximum. • Medium-term preservation – solutions that are used during a lifetime of the system, 10 years maximum. • Long-term preservation – solutions that are used after the originating system's lifetime.
- 8. Cultural heritage governmental agencies • technical storage - frequently "in house". • digital preservation is usually not included in the procurement of the system today. • importance of collaboration on preservation issues. • need for common preservation solution for all digital material, both archival material and other material - not a storage system but a system that manages all processes.
- 9. • The e-Archive and e-Diarium Project (eARD) at the National Archives develop Common Specifications in the Public Sector (FGS) for transfering digital records between records management systems and to an e- archive. • FGS are general technical specifications for structure and metadata content of the delivery packets or transmission format.
- 10. • Often large amount of digital cultural heritage information, but no efficient long-term preservation. • Overall ambition that digital cultural heritage information should be long-term preserved. However, there is a distinction in a practical way of managing digital cultural heritage. • A general concern about continually increased amounts of digital material • International standards for metadata not always fully implemented.

- 11. Overall, there is need for common solutions for: • standards and file formats • storage • guidelines and tools In order to create interoperability and usability over time, there is also a need for: • implementation of international standards • a roadmap for digital preservation • common support function for recommendations, guidelines, tools and services. • Preservation is a pre-requirement for coordinated digital infrastructure
