Preservation services: the APARSEN approach
• Aim to characterise a set of services covering the spectrum of needs of digital preservation
• Examine what services already exist, are under development, or have potential for development
• Identify both general, infrastructure-type components as well as delimiting applicability of specific services and techniques
• Take into account requirements of different domains
“Services that perform or assist with preservation-related activities or
operations”

Services as an aspect of sustainability
• Sustainability as one of the “topics” of digital preservation in APARSEN
- Others are trust, usability, access
• What contributes to the ability of digital preservation systems to continue their existence into the future?

What do we mean by preservation services?
• A somewhat fuzzy definition, but some characteristics are:
- Something that can be shared
- Distinguished from a tool (partly …)
- Could in principle be offered by an external party
• Do we include services carried out by people? (e.g. audit and certification)

Key questions
• What services are needed for a sustainable infrastructure?
• Conversely, what service offerings already exist or are under development? How may they be delivered?
• Is there a common view on what services can be shared?

How to classify services
• Two-dimensional classification seems reasonable
- Type of data
- Service function

Mapping to the RAC standard
• ISO 16363 “Audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories”
• Offers a detailed specification of criteria by which digital repositories may be audited
• A series of metrics under the following main headings:
- Organizational Infrastructure
- Digital Object Management
- Infrastructure and Security Risk Management
• Each metric is accompanied by discussion and examples of how a repository can show it is meeting the requirement expressed in the metric

Relation to other sustainability issues
• Storage solutions
- … as a service
• Costs
- … obviously depend on how activities are implemented
• Business cases
- … likewise

Discussion
• Does the two-sided approach to services make sense? (supply and demand)
• How could we map a landscape of services?
• Are there any services that seem not to be covered by this approach?
• What are your priorities for services?
