Risks

Wednesday, 4 April 2012

Obsolescence - hardware & software have a finite lifetime

Data Integrity - latent errors, ingest errors, transfer errors

Single Point Loss - single copy vulnerable to machine error, human error or natural disaster

Mono Culture - singular technologies can suffer

Compression - mathematically lossless, perceptually lossless, lossy compression

Technical Risks

The Automated Archive no more boring tasks in your paperless office

Digital deposit, accessioning and cataloguing through metadata and crowd sourcing

But getting everything digitised is hard on humans

The Distributed Archive

safety in numbersCompact storage and many copies means less risk of loss

More reliant on complex technology and material can still burn and drown

The Everything for Everyone Archive

quantity vs qualityWe can keep everything and have it instantly available

We may lose control of the content and will that devalue it?
