Abstract
The CODATA Data Science Journal is a peer-reviewed, open access, electronic journal, publishing papers on the management, dissemination, use and reuse of research data and databases across all research domains, including science, technology, the humanities and the arts. The scope of the journal includes descriptions of data systems, their implementations and their publication, applications, infrastructures, software, legal, reproducibility and transparency issues, the availability and usability of complex datasets, and with a particular focus on the principles, policies and practices for open data.All data is in scope, whether born digital or converted from other sources.
Highlights
Ongoing technological change is causing widespread concern around the world regarding the long-term preservation of the material produced or stored using digital technologies
Scientific researchers have a long history of creating such objects, and clearly the professionals charged with the preservation of the archives containing them may have to face the concrete challenge of preserving views of dynamic systems, maintaining the functionality of interactive data, and recreating the environment of experiential objects (Moore, 2004). It is important both to know to what extent the requirements, methods and strategies developed by the InterPARES 1 project to preserve authentic electronic material with a fixed form and stable content apply to these new situations, and to develop new ones where they do not
Researchers in each working group identify the perspective(s), research design, and methods that they believe to be most appropriate to their inquiry. The reason for this openness is that InterPARES 2 (InterPARES 2 Project, 2002-2006) is conceived to work as a “layered knowledge” environment, in the sense that some of the research work builds upon knowledge developed in the course of InterPARES 1 (InterPARES 1 Project, 1999-2001), some uses knowledge developed by other teams investigating digital preservation, such as ERPANET in Europe (ERPANET, 2001-2004), some takes knowledge of similar issues developed in other areas of endeavour and bring it to bear on creation and preservation of digital materials, some reconciles knowledge about records and their attributes, elements, characteristics, behaviour and qualities existing in various disciplines and develop it for archival purposes, and some explores new issues and study entities never examined before and develop entirely new knowledge
Summary
Ongoing technological change is causing widespread concern around the world regarding the long-term preservation of the material produced or stored using digital technologies. Scientific researchers have a long history of creating such objects, and clearly the professionals charged with the preservation of the archives containing them may have to face the concrete challenge of preserving views of dynamic systems, maintaining the functionality of interactive data, and recreating the environment of experiential objects (Moore, 2004) It is important both to know to what extent the requirements, methods and strategies developed by the InterPARES 1 project to preserve authentic electronic material with a fixed form and stable content apply to these new situations, and to develop new ones where they do not. The international team of researchers formed for InterPARES 1, together with additional researchers with discipline-specific knowledge, decided to initiate a second phase of its research, called InterPARES 2
