It has been developed by the National Archives of Australia to aid in the long term preservation of digital records. Xena is an acronym meaning Xml Electronic Normalising for Archives. Written in Java, Xena is a cross-platform application which runs on Linux, Windows and Apple Mac OS X. Xena software aids digital preservation by performing two important tasks: • detecting the file formats of digital objects • converting digital objects into open formats for preservation. Introduction 2 Getting started Before using Xena to normalise files, you will need to do the following: 1. Set Xena Preferences - see Setting Preferences. 2. Install external programs - see Setting Up Plugins. 3. Configure Xena plugins - see Setting Up Plugins.

  • Workflow for Electronic Records
    Workflow for Electronic Records Updated September 12, 2016 As with paper records, accessioning of electronic records establishes physical and legal custody, as well as physical and administrative control of records. These steps aid in appraisal, arrangement, and description to ensure further use, management, maintenance, and long-term viability of the records. They also ensure that the integrity and authenticity of records are maintained. However, unlike paper records, establishing control through accessioning is time sensitive as digital records have a higher risk of deterioration and data loss over time. Thus control (distinct from custody) is concerned with reducing preservation threats. Stabilizing digital materials and moving them to long-term storage are part of establishing basic intellectual and administrative control. The following workflow aids in establishing control of digital records. As part of intellectual and administrative control the information gathered by various tools aids in producing high-level description, estimating the extent of and dates of creation, the intellectual property status, and creates an overview of the contents (such as gathering information on formats). The information gathered contributes to the inventory for basic intellectual control while maintaining authenticity, reliability or viability of records. Furthermore, it creates documentation of these actions. This workflow focuses on the archival principles at work in each step of processing an electronic accession.

  • LONG RANGE PLANNING International Journal of Strategic Management
    LONG RANGE PLANNING International Journal of Strategic Management AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.5 ISSN: 0024-6301 DESCRIPTION . Long Range Planning (LRP) is a leading international journal for the field of strategic management. The journal has forged a strong reputation for publishing original research since 1968. We encourage submissions of articles that involve empirical research and theoretical articles, including studies that review and assess the current state of knowledge in important areas of strategy. The majority of users of LRP come from the academic world, and the journal serves two functions in that world: the transmission of research findings among academic researchers, and the transmission of ideas that are useful in the classroom. Articles may be written for practicing managers and students in professional programs, or they may be directed primarily to academic researchers. LRP takes an inclusive approach to empirical research, publishing studies based on primary survey data, archival data, case study and other recognized approaches to data collection. LRP welcomes work from scholars based in all parts of the world, including emerging and transitional economies. All work must meet a high standard and is assessed for originality and quality through a rigorous peer review process. The areas of work published by LRP include, among others: corporate strategy and governance, business strategy and new business models, international dimensions of strategy, strategies for emerging markets, entrepreneurship, innovation, organizational structure and design, corporate social responsibility, management of technology, methods for strategy research, and business processes.

  • NC Preservation Metadata for Digital Objects
    NC Preservation Metadata for Digital Objects 2013 EDITION BY LISA GREGORY, KATHLEEN KENNEY, AMY RUDERSDORF Purpose The Preservation Metadata for Digital Objects (PMDO) contains a list of preservation metadata fields that institutions creating or caring for digital objects might consider recording to help in the long- term access and management of their collections. Elements are mapped to the broader and more comprehensive PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata, to ensure interoperability and shareability. Audience The PMDO is meant to be a guidance document, not a mandate. It may be more useful for small to mid-sized institutions that may not have access to automated metadata creation or extraction processes. (For more information about automated metadata creation, please see Section D.) History The updated edition of this document was written by staff from the Digital Information Management Program at the Government and Heritage Library, State Library of North Carolina. This version addresses the metadata needs of not only digitized images, as the earlier edition did, but also other digitized formats and born-digital files. Questions and comments may be directed to the staff of the Digital Information Management Program at [email protected]. 2007 edition by Katherine M. Wisser, Druscilla R. Simpson, and Peter E. Hymas The original element set was adapted from "Metadata for Administration and Preservation of Digital Images (MAPDI)" prepared by Dr. Helen R. Tibbo and Claire Eager with assistance from a preservation metadata working group at the School of Information and Library Science for the State Library of North Carolina, Department of Cultural Resources, NC Exploring Cultural Heritage Online (ECHO) program through an LSTA Grant in September 2002.

  • The “M” Word: Exploring File Format Migration with Open Source Tools LISA GREGORY Digital Information Management Program, State Library of North Carolina
    The “M” Word: Exploring File Format Migration with Open Source Tools LISA GREGORY Digital Information Management Program, State Library of North Carolina Abstract: As the official permanent depository for all North Carolina state publications, the State Library of North Carolina is concerned with preservation and access of these materials, regardless of file format. This paper describes that institution’s efforts at file format migration. With a limited budget and programming resources, migration file formats that match current and projected needs as well as free and open source tools that would normalize and document that migration were investigated. Although far from perfect, the tools described can effectively migrate a number of prevalent formats on a case-by-case basis. Work still needs to be accomplished to scale migration up to production level. Introduction “It can be argued that unless an object is accessible, it cannot be said to be preserved, as an inaccessible chunk of zeroes and ones is of no use whatsoever. Thus, any talk of preserving digital objects must include ways to access the objects” (Clausen 2004, 3). The State Library of North Carolina (SLNC) is the official permanent depository for all North Carolina state publications. SLNC currently uses a number of third-party tools to manage short- term access to its digital collections and staff are working on refining a long-term access plan. The most recent installment in this plan is an investigation of file format options for migration as well as available tools that would match an achievable workflow and available resources. Similar to the reasons mentioned in Lawrence et al.
