 What is archiving?


 hold a: Digital copy, digital version, part of the digital original make permanent accessible
„transport“ digital information lossless

February 14 th - 16 th , 2002 EMANI Project Meeting SUB Göttingen

Methods - Migration
 Reasons for migration

Minimize variety
 Time
 („end of live“ of hard- and software)
 emerging standards
 Using standards makes migration possible
 Different document formats and different hardware environments
February 14 th - 16 th , 2002 EMANI Project Meeting SUB Göttingen

Methods - Emulation
 emulation can follow migration

 example: data on floppy disk migrates into a online storage medium (hard disk) software can be emulated in a processing unit environment which handels data format from migrated floppy disk
 VMWare (runs on Unix, MS WinX, MAC)
 multiple OS with multiple software environments on one hardware environment
February 14 th - 16 th , 2002 EMANI Project Meeting SUB Göttingen

Other
 access
 handling and using URNs, persistent identifiers
 signatures for documents
 signatures for service /server provider
 Trust Center
