WG4: Development of Standards and Guidelines for Data Archiving and long-term preservation (content, curation, technical, documentation)
The official COST MOBILISE Working Group WG 4 is found here.
COST MOBILISE Working Group WG 4: Tasks, objectives, key labels
COST MOBILISE Working Group WG 4 has two tasks:
(a) Identify existing communities and expertise, concepts and standards on storage space and solutions on data archiving and long-term preservation
(b) Compile guidelines about strategies for long term data archiving for different types of organisations and consortia
With that it has four MoU objectives:
- linking experts and bridging expertise
- compiling standards, formats and norms
- planning the increase of sustainability (OAIS, FAIR)
- facilitating interoperability
WG4 experts should come from the collection community (CETAF institutions, EU projects), library community, domain-specific data centers, computing centers – big data storage community etc. They are professionals in handling big and complex data, data archiving, versioning and FAIRness of data, OAIS requirements of repositories etc.
Key labels:
- Long-term preservation and archiving of big and complex data
- Long-term storage and archiving of large data objects (e.g., multimedia)
- Versioning and FAIRness
- Recognized repositories and OAIS requirements
