Challenges and Prospects of Long-term Preservation of Digital Cultural Heritage

Abstract

Long-term digital preservation aims to ensure that digital content of traditional sociocultural institutions (libraries, museums, archives etc.) remain accessible to user communities for a long period of time and for future generations. The presentation considers the problems and prospects of the organization of long-term digital storage of electronic information resources. The article offers approaches for solving the problems of long-term digital preservation, focused on the Open Archive Information System (OAIS) reference model, described in the ISO 14721:2012 standard. To describe events/actions related to a document during archival storage, it is recommended to use the PREMIS metadata model.
