Bibliotheken nutzen u.a. #LOCKSS, um Redundanz und Ausfallsichergeit zu erreichen. Allerdings dient das nicht dem öffentlichen Zugang.

The #LOCKSS Program at Stanford University is conducting a global survey to assess digital preservation practices, capacity, and needs across memory institutions.

Building on the 2019 Stepping Stones project, this work will help identify regions and communities with the greatest need for preservation services and opportunities to develop community-owned infrastructure.

Anyone working with born-digital or digitized collections is encouraged to participate: https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1zROtUXaqoq7sWO

🌇 After 20+ years of pioneering community-led digital preservation, the MetaArchive Cooperative has formally concluded operations (March 31, 2025). Its legacy lives on through “composted” tools, docs, and lessons for the field. Explore the transition: https://educopia.org/sponsee-profile/metaarchive-cooperative/

In the CNI opening plenary, Victoria Reich and David Rosenthal, look back over their two decades with the 🔒 #LOCKSS Program, overviewing the Program’s initial goals, how they evolved as the landscape of academic communication changed, and how the Program’s technology developed.

“Over the centuries, libraries developed a dual role... to provide current readers with access to information, and to safeguard future readers' access.”

I would be interested in learning about a #codeberg equivalent in Latin America, South America, Asia or Africa, too. I think important open source infrastructure should be mirrored im different geopolitical zones. As librarians say: lots of copies keep stuff safe (#LOCKSS).

The opening plenary at the CNI Spring Meeting will feature an update from the ARL Executive Director, Andrew Pace, on the CNI leadership transition, followed by the presentation of the Paul Evan Peters Award & Memorial Lecture.

The recipients, Victoria Reich and David Rosenthal, will look back over their two decades with the #LOCKSS Program, focusing on how the Program’s goals and technology evolved as the landscape of academic communication changed.

Everything is up in the air, indeed!

Wikimedia does have data centers in multiple locations outside the US: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_centers

But even then, I guess it won't hurt if people get a current XML dump of their favorite Wikipedia language version and safeguard it somewhere, whether privately or publicly. #LOCKSS

Reassurances from Wikimedia about their contingency plans would still be very good to hear.

#LOCKSS co-founders Victoria Reich & David Rosenthal are the 2025 Paul Evan Peters Award recipients for their innovative work that has advanced #DigitalPreservation and protected the scholarly record.

@jomla über die Hostingrechte will ich in dem Konstrukt gar nicht nachdenken. Umso wichtiger wäre es wohl (#LOCKSS), sich die PDFs zu ziehen.

"un attacco informatico contro la nostra Biblioteca potrebbe portare alla creazione illegale di copie dei documenti conservati, oppure alla loro manipolazione o addirittura cancellazione" ... also wenn wirklich die Gefahr besteht, dass Dokumente verändert oder gelöscht werden können, dann sollte man vielleicht im Interesse der "intera memoria storica del mondo" anfangen, Kopien (die illegal wohl kaum sind) zu erstellen. Dann sind die im Vatikan nicht in guten Händen. #LOCKSS #digipres

Happy World Digital Preservation Day #WDPD2023! Did you know about the PKP Preservation Network for #OpenJournalSystems journals?

We had a really nice discussion in the (virtual) #swib22 pub this evening in a small round of 4-6 people.

One central theme was the movement towards centralization of the web (Twitter, also Wikidata/Wikipedia) & how to create a decentralized web that is resilient in the face of social & ecological disruptions. Amongst others, #ActivityPub, #IPFS, #BitTorrent, #LOCKSS, #Kiwix, #Spritely had an appearance.

Thank you @tobiasnx @osma @literarymachine @steffenr42 @dbs & Joachim for this evening!
