Abstract

ABSTRACT European Union support for the development of digital cross-border means for conducting business and running governments has fundamentally changed how public and private business is conducted. But this digital information has to remain available for long periods, often beyond the life expectancy of individual information systems or technological components. This poses a significant challenge for both the original data creators and digital archives that have to be capable of both dealing with the most current information technology, and with “saving” information from legacy systems. To deal with these challenges, it is necessary to bridge the gap between the methods used in digital preservation and content creation and introduce additional practical interoperability into the solutions used for a Digital Single Market and digital preservation infrastructures. The European Commission recognized the need in 2013 and funded the E-ARK project (2014–2017), which successfully delivered a set of principles, specifications and tools that provided an interoperable and international solution for the sustainable long-term availability of digital information. This paper describes the solutions developed by the E-ARK project, focusing on the SIP format, as well as the steps the European Commission is taking toward building a thriving digital preservation community around the E-ARK outcomes.

档案互操作性E-ARK工具的应用，以支持长期可持续的数字单一市场

摘要欧盟对发展数字跨境商业和政府管理手段的支持从根本上改变了公共和私营企业的经营方式。但这些数字信息必须长期可用，通常超过单个信息系统或技术组件的预期寿命。这对原始数据创建者和数字档案馆都提出了重大挑战，他们必须既能处理最新的信息技术，又能“保存”遗留系统中的信息。为了应对这些挑战，有必要弥合数字保存和内容创建中使用的方法之间的差距，并在用于数字单一市场和数字保存基础设施的解决方案中引入额外的实际互操作性。欧盟委员会在2013年认识到了这一需求，并资助了E-ARK项目（2014-2017），该项目成功地提供了一套原则、规范和工具，为数字信息的可持续长期可用性提供了一个可互操作的国际解决方案。本文介绍了E-ARK项目开发的解决方案，重点是SIP格式，以及欧盟委员会为围绕E-ARK成果建立一个繁荣的数字保护社区而采取的步骤。

期刊介绍： Information networking is an enabling technology with the potential to integrate and transform information provision, communication and learning. The New Review of Information Networking, published biannually, provides an expert source on the needs and behaviour of the network user; the role of networks in teaching, learning, research and scholarly communication; the implications of networks for library and information services; the development of campus and other information strategies; the role of information publishers on the networks; policies for funding and charging for network and information services; and standards and protocols for network applications.
