Systemic digital preservation. A methodological proposal based on the documentation of experiences in Colombia

Abstract

Systemic digital preservation represents an archival and strategic approach necessary for its comprehensive understanding and to ensure the continuity of digital heritage, access and availability of electronic records and digital objects in the long term. The digital preservation methodological proposal presented here is based on the systematization of consulting and advisory experiences developed by the Information Science Research Center (CICINF) of the Inter-American School of Librarianship of the University of Antioquia (Medellin, Colombia). This systematization presents the consulting methodology, under a qualitative approach, which is characterized by the interaction between university-sector-state, interdisciplinary work, theoretical support, evaluation and estimation of proposals according to the institutional contexts. Some of the results frame the importance of the diagnosis, policy, plan, projects, program and processes of digital preservation and the need to document the practices, as this is a specialized subject that requires an adequate level of depth in relation to the social contexts and technologies that are constantly changing and transforming.   ARK CAICYT: http://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18511740/ekvxcqoto
