  • Evaluation of the Archival Information Systems Thinking Framework Abstract Introduction
    Evaluation of the Archival Information Systems Thinking Framework Hugo Quisbert Luleå University of Technology Dept. of Computer & Systems Sciences University Area +46 920 49 18 10 [email protected] Abstract Archives are an essential part of our societal memory. The use of Information Technology (IT) in archival context has pointed out the need of preserving digital information. There is a need of methods and techniques for preservation activities and the development of supporting tools. Archival Information Systems are a special kind of information systems. The development of Archival Information Systems has to be non-ad hoc implementation based on a special way of thinking. The paper A Foundation for Archival Information Systems Development (Quisbert, Hägerfors, 2006) proposes a thinking framework based on the Records Continuum Model, the OAIS Reference Model and the Model Driven Architecture (MDA). In this paper the results of an evaluation of this thinking framework are presented. The evaluation shows that the framework might be useful but further evaluation is needed. The evaluation also shows the lack of fundamental principles for long-term preservation and access. The Centre for Long-term Digital Preservation (CLDP) connected to the Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in Sweden, is an R&D division working with digital preservation issues. The intention of the proposed framework is to be the fundament for developing a prototype for an Archival Information System, at this centre. Later, a complete software implementation base upon the proposed framework should be developed in order to support long-term preservation of digital information embracing important characteristics of the Continuum Model and the OAIS Reference Model and the MDA.

Department of- ToPnmnahon SturJI\ The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) ii ABSTRACT It is a common feeling among archivists that the basic principles of archival theory may have to be examined and redefined in light of the development of computer technology. This need exists not so much because archivists are currently faced with a new and unfamiliar medium, but because the new technology changes not only the uses made of the information but also the way in which we perceive it. The many attempts to approach the problem in the last twenty years have tended to be focused on single archival functions rather than on fundamental archival principles, and the solutions proposed were essentially practical.

    SECTION 11 Policy Guidelines CHAPTER THREE Electronic Records Guidelines: A Manual for Policy Development and Implementation CHAPTER FOUR The Implications of Armstrong v. the Executive Office of the President for the Archival Management of Electronic Records D. Bearman, Electronic Evidence, © Archives & Museum Informatics, 1994 CHAPTER THREE Electronic Records Guidelines: A Manual for Policy Development and ~m~lementation* Policies for management of electronic records must be tailored to management requirements of each organization and must define electronic records in a way that can be im- plemented by people and machines. Record retention deci- sions are risk management decisions. Immediate responsibility for appropriate retention and ongoing accessibility of elec- tronic records must be clearly assigned to line management. lnformation managers -- including archivists, records man- agers, telecommunications and data processing staffs -- all need to contribute through systems design and implementa- tion, technology assessment, and ongoing technology moni- toring. A sound program will be based on a systems life-cycle approach that logically integrates records without respect to media, lnformation Resource Directory Systems can help bridge disciplines and organization units. Line units should re- tain physical control over electronic records and should be re- quired to ensure retention, preservation of functionality, secu- rity, and confidentiality. These policy objectives can be achieved by focusing on application systems as the loci of records policy implementation and practicing documentation as a means of control. Increased awareness of technical ob- stacles to adequate management of electronic records must be achieved throughout the organization. * Originally published in slightly longer form as Sections A, B, and C of Chapter I1 in Advisory Committee for the Co-ordination of Information Systems, Managernall of Electronic Records: Issues and Guidelines (New York United Nations, 1990): 17-34.

  • Exploring Archival Value: an Axiological Approach Elaine Samantha Marston Penn UCL Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Degree
    Exploring Archival Value: An Axiological Approach Elaine Samantha Marston Penn UCL Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of PhD in Information Studies – Archival Studies I, Elaine Samantha Marston Penn, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The proposition of this thesis is to explore a key concept in archival theory and practice, namely the value of archives. The underlying principle is that by drawing upon ideas from outside of the archival discipline – from axiology – this concept can be examined in an innovative and reflective manner. The evaluation of archives is a core activity for archivists. Archivists make value judgements when they decide what to keep and what to destroy, and in how they choose to arrange and describe archives. However, although the term ‘value’ appears frequently in the professional archival literature, often linked with other qualifying terms, including ‘historical’, ‘evidential’, ‘legal’ and ‘informational’, these terms are contested, often ill-defined, and frequently misleading. This thesis critically examines the theoretical concepts behind such terms and their use within the archival profession. The application of Theory Derivation methodology, which employs analogy or metaphor to transpose and redefine a concept or theory from one context to another, enables the author to find new insight and explanations for archival value from the field of axiology (the study of value and value judgements). This thesis explores questions about what sort of property or characteristic of an object gives it value, whether having value is an objective or a subjective matter, and whether value can be measured.

    286 American Archivist / Vol. 52 / Summer 1989 Research Article Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/52/3/286/2747828/aarc_52_3_g562600um1063123.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 Authority Control Issues and Prospects DAVID BEARMAN Abstract: Research on authority control reported in archival, library, and information science literature suggests that efforts to control topical subject terminology are inappro- priate and ineffective in an archival setting because researchers are unlikely to use the same terminology as that contained in the documents, and because most users value precision over recall (inclusiveness) in their searching. The author argues that archival retrieval will be enhanced by placing more emphasis on increasing the number of access points and less on achieving consistency in indexing. He describes various kinds of au- thority files and identifies several (occupation, time period, geographic coordinates, form- of-material, and function) that offer the most promise. He advocates the use of existing reference files and cooperative development of new ones, to be used not only in the traditional authority-control sense but also as valuable information resources in their own right.

KENNEY, editor Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/53/4/666/2748076/aarc_53_4_y32h731602772u36.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 Do Real Archivists Need Archives & Museum Informatics? ANN PEDERSON Abstract: Archives & Museum Informatics disseminates news and analysis of develop- ments in automation and information technologies and their effects within the archival and museum communities through the publication of a quarterly newsletter and a technical reports series, both of which are edited by David Bearman. The author reviews the contents of both the newsletters and the technical reports, concluding that they comprise a unique and badly needed means to help archivists understand the new approaches, techniques, and technologies that are reshaping human communication. About the author: Ann Pederson is a senior lecturer in archives administration and records man- agement in the School of Librarianship, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

She then reports the methodology and results of a citation analysis that she conducted on articles in six periodicals core to the professional reading of North American archivists. The analysis, which covers the lifespan of the periodicals, identifies key individuals and pub- lications, as well as disciplinary influences and seminal writings in the area of archival automation and electronic records. The author speculates about the implications of these findings and also recommends citation analysis as a useful research approach for understanding the development of archival practice and education. Introduction This project used citation analysis to explore the core periodical literature published and read by archivists in North America in an attempt to identify key figures and disciplines that have influenced the archival profession as it increas- ingly interacts with the computer. The results of this investigation are potential- ly of use to the archival profession as it struggles to define itself through debates regarding long-range planning and archival education by making archivists more conscious of their own reading matter. A major value of the project thus lies in its ability to paint a detailed picture of how the profession has been developing and how archivists are learning about the important new facets of their work opened up by the computer. This clearer perspective on recent trends may, in turn, inform the profession as it decides what form archival education should take and how the profession should develop its goals and priorities.

  • Documenting Documentation
    Documenting Documentation by DAVID BEARMAN* Introduction An Ad Hoc Commission of the International Council on Archives has recently proposed principles and rules for archival description.' Unfortunately the particular principles and rules being proposed fall short of what is needed.2 This paper elaborates alternative prin- ciples for documenting documentation which have been emerging from the collective activity of many U.S. archivists over the past decade, but which have not been presented together before. The "Statement of Principles Regarding Archival Description" (referred to as "ICA Principles" throughout this text) and "Draft General International Standard Archival Description" rules (referred to throughout as "lSAD(G)"), which have been circulated for comment by the ICA Ad Hoc Commission on Descriptive Standards, each consist of statements of differing degrees of generality which might be considered either as prin- ciples of or as rules for archival description. The ICA Principles reflect existing methods of archival description (at least in North America), while those suggested here for documenting documentation have not yet been developed, widely accepted or even com- pletely elaborated. They are advanced here in part because the ICA Principles rationalize existing prac- tice - which the author believes as a practical matter we cannot afford; which fail to provide direct access for most archives users; and which do not support the day-to-day information requirements of archivists themselves.' These alternatives are also advanced because of three, more theoretical, differences with the ICA Principles: (1) In focusing on description rather than documentation, they overlook the most salient characteristic of archival records: their status as evidence.

White Jesse H. Shera: A Historian of Librarianship Stasa Milojevic Jesse H. Shera (1903-1982) is often considered to be a single most influential theorist of library science. Although not widely known or recognized for his historical work, Shera’s Foundations of the PublicLibrary is a “citation classic” for anyone interested in history of public libraries in America. It was one of the first works to depart from the celebratory view of the libraries, and instead use methods of what has been known as a “new history”, or what we now call social history. Shera was a pioneer of a new library history, synthesizing and analyzing historical material and events, rather than just chronicling them. In his early period, Shera wrote about the history, American library history and the history of librarianship.

  • A Framework for the Development of Archival Information Systems
    2006:62 LICENTIATE T H E SI S A Framework for the Development of Archival Information Systems Hugo Quisbert Luleå University of Technology Department of Business Administration and Social Sciences Division of Systems Sciences 2006:62|: 02-757|: -c -- 06 ⁄62 -- A FRAMEWORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARCHIVAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Hugo Quisbert Licentiate Thesis Luleå University of Technology Department of Business Administration and Social Sciences Division of Systems Sciences ii iii ABSTRACT In this thesis a framework for the development of Archival Information Systems are proposed. IT community and long-term digital preservation research has not addressed the development of digital archival tools. The IT community addresses Archives and digital archiving almost as a storage place aimed for backup services. Long-term digital preservation research has put efforts in metadata research, and in the use of different preservation techniques in order to preserve digitally stored information. Archival Information Systems are and their development is a natural part of the field of Long-term Digital Preservation. Archival Information Systems are aimed to receive maintain, support digital preservation issues and give access to digitally stored information. This digitally stored information consists in different kind of documents or records physically manifested in computer files, databases, etc. Archival Information Systems are a special kind of Information Systems. As every specialized kind of Information System, Archival Information Systems development must be preceded by a specialized way of thinking. This thesis proposes a specialized way of thinking, a framework, for the development of Archival Information Systems. The proposed framework is based on The Records Continuum Model and The OAIS Reference Model as major fundaments.
