III) Other
● SAA Workshop:
May 5: Achieving Email Account Preservation with XML [DAS]
New York, NY – Scholarships Available! - Register here
How do you successfully manage and preserve e-mail? Your instructor will examine two XML
schemas developed for e-mail account archival preservation: the E-Mail Account Preservation
schema and the PeDALS schema. The EMAP schema co-authored by the Electronic Mail
Collaboration Initiative and the Collaborative Electronic Records Project serves as the
backbone of two open source email account preservation tools. One of the benefits of using the
EMAP schema is effective, efficient preservation of e-mail accounts and their messages. The
schema can be used in trustworthy repositories to validate deposited e-mail accounts, and can
also be adopted as a professional standard like METS and EAD. The PeDALS schema
originated in a grant project involving seven state archives. The PeDALS schema is
specifically geared towards Microsoft Outlook .pst files and their content. This course
discusses both of these schemas as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
