Abstract:At the April 2002 CENDI meeting, Ms. Frangakis covered NAL's past and current activities involving the preservation of USDA digital materials. Major accomplishments to date include the development of a survey instrument to identify digital publications produced by USDA; a metadata conference for USDA staff to raise awareness and to educate staff to achieve buy in; and the development of draft digital preservation guidelines. Technical requirements for the long-term management of digital publications continue to be developed and funding continues to be a challenge for this effort. Ms. Frangakis closed by saying that the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model is being used and that they have successfully mapped their prototype to this model. Other standards and processes (MARC, Dublin Core, and CORC) have been incorporated as well.
