Subject: Digital Document Quarterly 1(3)
This note announces the availability of the third number of the Digital
Document Quarterly (DDQ). DDQ addresses document qualities that can be
managed automatically or semi-automatically--properties such as integrity,
confidentiality, authenticity, trustworthiness, and so on. DDQ 1(3)
continues to discuss long-term digital preservation, See the series table
of contents at http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq.htm
Members of the OAIS Implementers Group should consider the Use and
Misuse of OAIS section. A reference model is not an architecture. It
does not articulate essential specifications for instances of what it
describes. Archives (in the sense of current archiving institutions)
might be neither the only nor the best means for their purported portions
of what's needed. Focusing on the key requirements of end users will not
broaden the range of potential solutions, and also simplify the design and
flexibility of potential archives.
DDQ 1(3) also considers questions about what's worth saving, and suggests
that the apparent current emphases are too narrow. Finally, it inquires
into what seems a slow pace towards practical deployment of digital
preservation services, and suggests that the open research issues need not
impede implementation work.
DDQ 1(3) is available at http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq_1_3.htm
