a perspective on archiving the scholarly record
DESCRIPTION
As the scholarly communication system evolves to become natively web-based and starts supporting the communication of a wide variety of objects, the manner in which its essential functions – registration, certification, awareness, archiving - are fulfilled co-evolves. This presentation focuses on the nature of the archival function based on a perspective of the future scholarly communication infrastructure. This presentation, prepared for a meeting in June 2014, is based on and updates a previous one that was prepared for a January 2014 meeting. The latter is available at http://www.slideshare.net/atreloar/scholarly-archiveofthefutureTRANSCRIPT

Functions of Scholarly Communication
• Registration: Allows claims of precedence for a scholarly finding
• Certification: Establishes validity of the claim
• Awareness: Allows actors in the system to remain aware of new claims
• Archiving: Preserves the scholarly record over time

The Future – Core Observations
• The research process, not just its outcome, is becoming visible … on the web
• Massive extension of the scholarly record with an enormous variety of novel objects
• The objects are heterogeneous, dynamic, compound, inter-related and distributed across the web
• The objects are often hosted on common web platforms that are not dedicated to scholarship
The archival paradigm must take these characteristics into account

Web-Based Journal System – Links to Web at Large Resources
• Web archives contain snapshots, the result of incidental archiving
• The Hiberlink project finds that for the large majority of these “Web at Large” resources, no temporally appropriate archived versions exist
• Memento infrastructure allows auditing what is globally archived based on HTTP URI

Creating Pockets of Persistence
How to achieve the ability to:
• Persistently• Precisely• Seamlessly
revisit the Scholarly Web of the Past and of the Now at some point in the Future
This challenge exists for the entire web, but some communities actually care about addressing it:
• scholarly communication,• legal publications,• journalism,• Wikipedia,• …

Pro-Active Capture for a Seed Collection
• Seed Collection - Starting point for capture is a seed collection of interest to communities that care, e.g.o Scholarly literatureo Legal documentso On-Line journalismo Wikipedia articles
• Lifecycle Events – Intervene at critical moments in the lifecycle of items in these collections to pro-actively capture o Collection items – some solutions in placeo Web resources referenced in collection items
![Page 52: A Perspective on Archiving the Scholarly Record](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554bd1a7b4c905706a8b4ce0/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Herbert Van de SompelOCLC ESR, Washington, DC, December 10 2014
Pro-Active Capture for a Seed Collection
• Request by user of a A to capture A, B, C, D, E
• Request for capture may result in• In-situ or remote capture• Creation of snapshot or creation
of trace• Archival URI, capture datetime
• Interoperability for on-demand capture
• Orchestration of capture process

• Creation of new article• Creation of new version of
article• Creation of substantially
new version of article• Addition of external

Considerations about Archiving
• On the right track?
• Capturing paradigms
• Pockets of persistence
• Recording versus Archiving
• A perspective on scholarly infrastructure

Web Platforms for Scholarship
• Increasingly, common web platforms are used for scholarship• GitHub, Wikis, Wordpress, etc.
• Many of these platforms have desirable characteristics• Versioning• Time stamping• Social embedding
• But, these platforms record rather than archive

Infrastructure Considerations
• Various incentives to move objects from Private to Recording:• Share with self, team, comply with funder requirements
• Objects in Recording are network accessible and in global (HTTP) namespace• Within reach of web-scale processes aimed at selectively
moving them from Recording to Archiving
• Core aspects of these processes include• Ability to snapshot the state of interlinked objects at specific
moments in their lifecycle• Transfer of snapshots from Recording platforms to appropriate,
distributed Archive platforms (interoperability)• Curatorial decisions regarding what should be captured

Curatorial Considerations
• What are the criteria involved in deciding (which states of) which objects get captured/archived?
• What triggers transition from Recording to Archiving?• On-demand in lifecycle, social status of the object, reference
made to object, deliberate randomness for serendipity, …
• What to archive?• Snapshot of object or trace of object (metadata, provenance, …)

Final Considerations
• Need organizational, technical, and curatorial interfaces between Recording and Archiving platforms
• Need organizational and technical interfaces across Archiving platforms
