We're in hour 2 - #DigitalPreservation Practical Applications. We have Carly Lenz covering considerations, environment, tools and resources. All these in preparation for hour-3 where participants will be brainstorming #DigiPres solutions for make believe institutions. #NDF23

Pyramid of #DigitalPreservation. Bitstream -> Logical (active) -> Intellectual content. Middle tier logical (active) preservation produces metadata that enables preservation planning, preservation action and validation. #NDF23

Maintain | Replace | Emulate | Migrate. #DigitalPreservation Strategies. #NDF23

Digital Data Challenges: technology dependency, bit rot, physical carrier degradation, missing context, integrity/fixity, auditability... #DigiPres #NDF23

Brief overview of #DigiPres history by Jan Hutař. Preserving Digital Information report by John Garrett and Donald Waters in 1996 was the base for #OAIS development. Archives New Zealand Digital Preservation Team is conducting an Intro to Digital Preservation as part of #NDF23

Final #NDF23 keynote by Ed Rodley, The Experience Alchemists. Map of connections by LinkedIn. No longer available. Owe network to Twitter, global network. Where do you go today?

Compared to Internet Archive emulation projects, #AusEaaSI is a bit more of a closed ecosystem. Mainly for legal reasons. Haven't been collaborating, but happy to collaborate with Internet Archive :) #NDF23 #Emulation

Collecting contemporary games. Ideally we want to collect the source code, but it's so intertwined with proprietary systems, it's a big challenge - Candice #NDF23

On question about emulating games that require Internet connection, Cynde said it's the next challenge. Some work being done to create emulated virtual LAN. #NDF23

#AusEaaSI node is shared resource. Bypass restrictive IT policies. Also has community of practice to no go it alone. #NDF23 #EmulationAsAServiceInfrastructure #DigiPres

Candice Cranmer and Cynde Moya sharing #AusEaaSI goodness with #NDF23 #EaaSI #Emulation

"... the series of managed activities necessary to ensure continued access to digital materials for as long as necessary." - Robin Wright @dpc_chat

"#AI often compared to being a calculator. But it's more like rocking horse versus a real horse. You might not need any skills to ride the rocking horse, but you might need some skills to ride a real horse."- Dr. Kara Kennedy

Very inspired after Peter-Lucas Jones keynote yesterday. Definitely worth a rewatch later. Article about their work https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/22/1050394/artificial-intelligence-for-the-people/amp/

GPT only acts as a translator of what we trust - Knowledge Graph and all the goodness humans have created. Internal tool.

Where do we put the machines? Many smaller intentional components in Preserve and Share. - Keir Winesmith, Chief Digital Officer NFSA

#AI pilot. Mostly for staff to be familiar with the tools out there. #Experiment. Not quite what we wanted. Computational archive evolves into a #ConversationalArchive. People can engage with the archive more naturally.

NFSA: ~7PB. New digital storage system capable to support up to 27PB. More resilient. 3rd copy. Tape library LTO-8. #NDF23 #DigiPres

NOW: #AI, #MachineLearning and #Audiovisual Collections at National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) Australia. Speaking - Rebecca Coronel, Head of Collection Preservation. Also a fellow SEAPAVAA EC member.

Experiment using PapersPast. #NLP search. Live demo shows the AI/LLM has a deeper understanding of content. Good for summary. Promising outcome.
#ProofOfConcept #OCR #NDF23

Opportunity to include #AI. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) method promises better data governance and control. Supplejack can do the transformation for vector database. #NDF23 #RAG

Problems:
1. It needed to reliably deliver large harvests (too hard basket).
Opportunities
- There were installation hurdles that could be addressed
- Harvesting stack more modular/mature. More adaptability (future proof?)
- Chance to fundamentally revisit Supplejack workflow
#NDF23 #opensource

2008 backend Java harvester --> 2013 Supplejack --> now "was that a problem?" There's #bigdata in cultural heritage https://digitalnz.org/

#NDF23

Next up: Supplejack - the harvesting super tool DigitalNZ has been using for a decade. #NDF23 #OpenSource #Metadata

Research conclusion: to help Pacific people see themselves in the museum. We need to adopt community-centric approach! See full report at QR code. #NDF23

"...attract more people... working together with our community..." #NDF23

Attending National Digital Forum. First keynote by Hon Simon Kofe on Tuvalu's challenge in the face of the severe threats of climate change. Tuvalu is also trying to establish the world's first digital nation, including a digital twin. #NDF23 #GLAMIR #GLAMMR
