Managing large and complex data sets: …  THE CHALLENGES OF ARCHIVING AND ONLINE DELIVERY CATHERINE HARDMAN
The problem….in 1996 My lithics report here, on floppy disc
The ADS: some ancient history ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What do we do? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
No need for digital preservation Domesday Book: Publisher: William of Normandy (1086) – still readable
Where’s preservation when you need it? Domesday Disc: Publisher: BBC (1986) –nearly lost
Why is it important?
[object Object],What’s the problem? Information Entropy
The scale of the problem in the 1990s Strategies for protecting physical media Findings and  Recommendations from ‘Digital Data in Archaeology: A Survey of User Needs’ Condron et al 1999
Protecting Physical media … never the twain

Why is it all so difficult? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
How do we do it? Open Archival Information System (OAIS)
But that’s people…
Migration based approach & controlled ingest Aim to connect with data producers early on in their project lifecycles to ensure that preservation planning is a key consideration during the project rather than an afterthought.
Guides to help you do all that.
It hasn’t really got much easier ,[object Object]

Big Data Project Roughly how much data would be generated by a single project?

What are the main software packages you use ?
Do you have an archiving policy for the data sets / types in question?

When you start a new project …would you consider using existing datasets?
This is the opportunity!
 
Making the inaccessible accessible ,[object Object]
Blurring the distinction … … between publication and archives …

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. How big is your data? – asked in order to get a idea of scale of the problem So you’ll see there is some quite big data being produced out there – some people producing over 200GB for a project
  2. We ran an online questionnaire to find out about users and uses of big data – I’ll just skim through some of the things that came out of it: We got 48 responses. this is one of the first questions we asked. Wanted to get an idea of the data collection techniques that people are using to create big data. You’ll see there’s a wide range of technologies including the ones I mentioned on an earlier slide.
  3. Of the 101 software packages entered into the online form a staggering 52 are unique (that is after editing for things like lower and upper case character differences). It seems the world of ‘big data’ is very fragmented.
  4. This is an interesting one. We asked if people had an archival policy for the data sets in question. Only 48% of respondents note that they have a policy in place Of these many noted that these policies were localised and incomplete - not formal written policy. A proper system of digital archiving should involve continuous active management of the data, putting data on a dvd and putting it in a drawer is not really a stable archival policy. A formal archival policy as we see it should ideally be based on the OAIS system – continuous active management of data to ensure its survival into the future.
  5. Overwhelming “yes” to this question.... Some of the reasons that were cited: monitoring over time avoiding duplication Saving time/money Of course – re-use just isn’t possible unless someone is archiving and providing access to this data
