Abstract
Successful preservation of content requires sophisticated mechanisms for collecting, tracking and analyzing information about a multitude of relevant aspects. This is not limited to content itself, but also tracking of available software, other organization’s content, usage statistics and trends, format risks, systems operations and many more. Such tracking requires a flexible system that supports evolution over time and provides an extensible platform for scalability.
This article presents the system design of a novel approach towards automated monitoring of preservation-related information. We discuss the challenges and information sources that need to be covered, and describe the architecture and data model of a novel preservation watch system, currently under development. We discuss how this system addresses critical information needs for informed preservation management and outline next steps ahead.
