Abstract
ABSTRACTSocial science data archives have begun to evolve in 1960’s, thus being one of the pioneers of digital preservation. The Slovenian Data Archive (ADP) follows and adjusts best practices that have emerged in this specific field. Its tasks comprise acquisition, processing and long term preservation of valuable primary research data, as well as providing accessibility to the content for users. As in other areas of digital preservation much attention is paid to meeting the requirements of long term preservation as specified in the OAIS (Opean Archival Information System) standard, and the use of technological solutions, proposed metadata standards, strategies and policies, and best practices. The purpose of this paper is to present procedures in ADP, to compare them with selected solutions of organizations with the similar mission, and to suggest improvements. Examples are taken from partner organizations within the CESSDA data archives association. These organizations (especially those from the USA, Great Britain and the Netherlands) have developed solutions in the field of digital preservation to the highest degree. The paper also reflects on agreed guidelines of reliable services for the archives of research data, which arose in the frame of the FP7 project with the same title (i.e. CESSDA PPP). The results of analysis are useful for all are seeking practical solutions to similar problems.
