Digital Preservation Framework

The idea of the “Semantic Web” for the internet is that organizations and individuals can share information in a format that can be read automatically by computers, and can link similar types of information across multiple web sites. This collection of related datasets on the web is referred to as Linked Open Data. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has a long history of releasing information about its collections available as datasets and making information machine-accessible through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). NARA’s Digital Preservation Unit has been collaborating closely with colleagues at other national archives and libraries as well as with the WikiData for Digital Preservation initiative to make our Digital Preservation Framework available as a Linked Open Data Resource to complement the preservation plans made available on GitHub. The Framework provides Preservation Plans for several hundred formats, including links to specifications and standards, links to community documentation about the formats, and NARA’s proposed preservation actions and tools.
