The document summarizes three trends in digital preservation that could be of interest: 1) Digital heritage preservation across libraries, archives, and museums to preserve born-digital works, websites, and proprietary social media content; 2) Digital preservation metadata standards and developing metadata sets for long-term accessibility; 3) Preserving social media for research, genealogy, and as societies' documentary heritage given the massive user bases and risk of information decay, but challenges in developing preservation strategies for these platforms.

Our collective neglect of these new forms raises the risk of creating large gaps in our cultural heritage for future generations.”4 ~UNESCO/PERSIST Content Task Force
- 7. DIGITAL PRESERVATION METADATA – WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THAT?
- 8. Difficult questions to answer about digital preservation metadata: “Any metadata that is used to preserve digital objects is preservation metadata, which can include descriptive, administrative, or structural. The first problem, then, is that preservation metadata doesn’t seem to fit anywhere in our neat metadata taxonomy.”5 ~Matthew Short What does it do? Where does it come from? What does it look like? How much do we need? How do we use it to achieve our goals?
- 9. DIGITAL PRESERVATION METADATA COULD BE CONSIDERED ANY METADATA CONSIDERED NECESSARY FOR LONG-TERM ACCESSIBILITY Oh PREMIS, you still need to be supplemented by other schemas! 6Balasoiu - Freepik.com
- 10. FUTURE WORK Continue to develop metadata sets for universal use Advocacy for open-source tools for digital preservation metadata management Born digital specific metadata development 7Cea, 2012
- 11. PRESERVATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA
- 12. WHY PRESERVE SOCIAL MEDIA? Research in the social sciences Genealogy / Personal archiving for descendants Societies’ documentary heritage Social media files often involve more than posts Creator perspective Legal evidence “The Revolution WILL Be Televised … on YouTube. These are the beginning stages of the social media revolution. Denying this or delaying a preservation strategy will only compound the difficulty to execute.”8 ~Rakesh Madhava
- 13. information decayHorror movie or reality? “…researchers in Virginia…took a number of recent major news events over the past three years — including the Egyptian revolution, Michael Jackson’s death…and the outbreak of the H1N1 virus — and tracked the links that were shared on Twitter…Following the links to their ultimate source showed that an alarming number of them had simply vanished.”9 ~Matthew Ingram
