GRANT AGREEMENT: 601138 | SCHEME FP7 ICT 2011.4.3 Promoting and Enhancing Reuse of Information throughout the Content Lifecycle taking account of Evolving Semantics [Digital Preservation]
Adil Hasan, King’s College London
11 February, IDCC 2015, London
4 year FP7 EU-funded project addressing the challenge of long-term access to digital content in continually evolving environments
11 Partners
Promoting and Enhancing Reuse of Information throughout the Content Lifecycle taking account of Evolving Semantics
Observation that digital objects and related metadata are generated as a continuum within a continually changing environment
Long-term sustainability requires us to address change more broadly (not only technological change!)
Future access to content requires information about that environment to be captured, managed and interpreted, not just information about the digital objects being “preserved”
Change might lead to loss of meaning and understanding of information

Looks important, but what is it? How do you use it?

Approach and methodology: Research underpinned by 2 case studies:
• Space science data • Media and digital artworks
Preservation by design Model-driven preservation Scenario-driven test-beds
Core research activities: Develop conceptual framework and unified model, based on
linked data principles for representing dynamic preservation ecosystems
Produce tools for extraction and encapsulation of significant environment information, appraisal and reuse
Extend existing lifecycle models to address the evolution of preservation ecosystems
Currently half-way through the project (ends 31 January 2017)
◦ Work done on describing the digital ecosystem, its entities and dependencies
◦ Work on creation of a conceptual model of the dependencies
◦ Work on defining an architectural framework for the test-beds
◦ First evaluation of progress
◦ Use case scenario development
◦ Work done on identifying and capturing information necessary for content reuse
◦ Work started on encapsulating this information
◦ Work starting on approaches for appraisal
See deliverables: http://pericles-project.eu/deliverables
Describe how our environment extraction application works and seek feedback and comments (Fabio Corubolo).
Describe current approach regarding environment encapsulation and seek feedback (Anna-Grit Eggers).
Describe current thoughts on appraisal and seek feedback (Simon Waddington).
You are very important!
