DLI-International: Emulation Options for Digital Preservation: Technology Emulation as a Method for Long-Term Access and Preservation of Digital Resources

摘要：赫德斯特罗姆，玛格丽特密歇根大学163,207 - 12美元。数字保存的仿真选项：作为数字资源长期访问和保存方法的技术仿真。这是一项为期三年的持续奖励的第一年资助。密歇根大学的一组研究人员和来自英国雪松项目的研究人员，在CURL（大学研究图书馆联盟）的支持下，在利兹大学、牛津大学和剑桥大学运行，将研究模拟在长期保存数字形式信息中的潜在作用。该项目将开发和测试一套仿真工具，评估仿真作为复杂多媒体文档和对象的保存策略的成本和收益，并开发收集管理决策模型，决定在保存活动中投入多少精力和资源用于精确复制。项目团队将评估保留数字对象的原始功能和“外观和感觉”的选择，并制定使用不同保存策略（转换、迁移和模拟）的初步指导方针。

Abstract IIS-9905935 Hedstrom, Margaret University of Michigan$163,207 - 12 mos. DLI-International: Emulation Options for Digital Preservation: Technology Emulation as a Method for Long-Term Access and Preservation of Digital ResourcesThis is the first year funding of a three year continuing award. A team of researchers at the University of Michigan and research staff in the UK from the Cedars project, being run at the Universities of Leeds, Oxford and Cambridge under the aegis of CURL (Consortium of University Research Libraries) will investigate the potential role of emulation in long-term preservation of information in digital form. The project will develop and test a suite of emulation tools, evaluate the costs and benefits of emulation as a preservation strategy for complex multi-media documents and objects, and develop models for collection management decisions about how much effort and resources to invest in exact replication within preservation activity. The project team will assess options for preserving the original functionality and "look and feel" of digital objects and develop preliminary guidelines for the use of different preservation strategies (conversion, migration and emulation).
