On the Knowledge Management Aspects of Digital Preservation

Abstract

The current digital preservation (DP) landscape is dominated by the ISO standard 14721:2003 (OAIS). This poster will present several approaches to digital preservation (policy-centric, functional, life-cycle management, constructivist, business-oriented, operational research, as well as highly specialised) and will seek to outline the connection between digital preservation and knowledge management. It will look especially into the place of the OAIS concept of “knowledge base” within the digital preservation system.
