Critical Cataloguing for Digital Preservation: a research commercialisation follow-on project

“数字保存的关键编目”涉及文化和遗产组织内数字资产的管理。虽然与这一复杂问题有关的技术问题已基本解决，但还有两个困难妨碍这些问题得到充分执行。首先是一个压力很大的部门的能力有限，其次是需要更多地关注数字文物保存所产生的社会和文化条件。该项目利用原始研究和对市场需求的范围界定研究，将为两者提供商业解决方案。具体而言，该项目将最大限度地发挥最近完成的ahrc资助的研究对正义导向的编目实践的影响（“目录描述和策展声音的遗产：数字奖学金的机会”，AH/T013036/1和AH/T013036/2），将研究成果嵌入到一项新的商业活动的发展中，南安普顿数字保存咨询单位。一旦市场准备就绪，它将向目标市场提供商业产品——例如专家课程、内部培训和数字保存方面的保留咨询——这些产品根植于关键的编目实践，目标市场是中小型GLAM机构和社区遗产团体。在之前的研究中，我们已经确定画廊、图书馆、档案馆和博物馆（GLAM）的专业人员热衷于更新、修改和更新他们的元数据生产和使用方法。最初的市场研究也表明，在开发数字保存最佳实践的新形式方面，为GLAM机构和社区遗产团体提供专家、实践和有针对性的培训、指导和支持是一个商业机会。通过结合这两种见解，这个为期11个月的快速研究商业化活动计划将：-开发数字保存培训、支持和建议的商业模式，突出数字保存生命周期中关键编目实践的重要性。-建立DigiPres队列：由来自GLAM机构和社区遗产组织的个人组成，寻求数字保存培训、支持和建议，其组成应在预期市场、收藏类型和ED&I考虑因素之间保持平衡。-针对目标市场的市场交付、试点商业渠道和价格容忍度进行压力测试。-通过持续的市场情报收集活动分析市场定位和商业试点数据。-委托一份项目评估报告，根据目标衡量成功情况，反思经验教训，并为中长期商业决策提供支持。-数字保存服务的市场需求报告，这些服务突出了数字保存生命周期内的关键编目实践和以正义为导向的保存元数据。将完成这项工作的项目团队包括研究人员、商业项目官员和项目评估人员，并将得到南安普顿大学更广泛的学术环境的支持，这是研究商业化的理想选择。团队成员和目标市场之间的伙伴关系将通过试点商业化活动、实地考察和社区参与来发展。产出将包括一个对非学术受益人具有重大商业价值的商业实体、关于拟议商业服务的商业需求的报告和为商业试点编制的指导材料。

'Critical Cataloguing for Digital Preservation' addresses the stewarding of digital assets within cultural and heritage organisations. Although the technical problems associated with this complex issue have been largely solved, two further difficulties prevent them from being adequately implemented. The first is the limited capacity of a much-pressed sector and the second is the need for increased attentiveness to the social and cultural conditions that arise from the preservation of digital artifacts. This project, drawing on original research and a scoping study of the needs of the market, will provide commercial solutions to both.Specifically, the project will maximise the impact of recently completed AHRC-funded research into justice-oriented cataloguing practices ('Legacies of Catalogue Descriptions and Curatorial Voice: Opportunities for Digital Scholarship', AH/T013036/1 & AH/T013036/2) by embedding research outcomes into the development of a novel commercial activity, the Southampton Digital Preservation Advisory Unit. Once market ready it will offer commercial products - such as expert classes, in-house training, and retained consultancy on digital preservation - that are rooted in critical cataloguing practices to a target market of small- to medium- sized GLAM institutions and community heritage groups.In previous research we have established that Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) professionals were keen to renew, revise, and refresh their approach to metadata production and use. Initial market research has also established that there is a commercial opportunity to offer expert, hands-on, and targeted training, guidance, and support to GLAM institutions and community heritage groups in developing new forms of digital preservation best practice. By combining these two insights this rapid 11-month programme of research commercialisation activity will:- Develop a commercial model for digital preservation training, support, and advice that foregrounds the importance of critical cataloguing practices within the digital preservation lifecycle.- Establish the DigiPres Cohort: a group of individuals from GLAM institutions and community heritage groups seeking digital preservation training, support, and advice, the composition of which is balanced across anticipated markets, collection types, and ED&I considerations.- Stress-test methods for market delivery, pilot commercial channels, and price point tolerances in our target market.- Analyse data on market positioning and on commercial pilots through ongoing market intelligence gathering activities.- Commission a project evaluation report that measures success against objectives, reflects on lessons learned, and supports commercial decision making in the medium to long term.- Report on market need for digital preservation services that foreground critical cataloguing practices and justice-oriented preservation metadata within the digital preservation lifecycle.The project team that will deliver this work comprises researchers, commercial projects officers, and project evaluators, and will be supported by a wider academic environment at the University of Southampton that is ideal for research commercialisation. Partnerships between team members and the target market will be developed through pilot commercialisation activities, site visits, and community engagement. Outputs will include a commercial entity of significant commercial value for non-academic beneficiaries, reports on commercial demand for proposed commercial services, and guidance materials produced for commercial pilots.
