Long Term Archiving at the CINES
Status:Draft
Tools:
Input:All data identified as to be retained in the 3D data life cycle
Output:The output of this workflow are scientifically validated 3D data
Organisation:Consortium "3D for Humanities"

Workflow Description

The long-term preservation of 3D digital objects raises some critical issues. Indeed, firstly, different kind of data can be archived: the original files depending on the method used to digitize; the final version, depending on the goal (simple acquisition or modelisation) and any relevant information (text, images, pdf , scenarios ...) added for a better comprehension of the 3D object.

Secondly it is important that metadata accompany the archive to ensure that the 3D object will be human-readable in the long-term. These metadata have to be completed in distinct files.

The 3D consortium of Huma-Num developed a tool, aLTAG3D to easily produce metadata file for the full 3D archive. Lastly, a place to preserve 3D data in the long term has to be found. Many solutions exist, depending on the countries. In France, there are solutions such as the 3D conservatory for 3D data research for mid-term preservation, and the CINES in the continuity for long-term preservation.


Textual description


Purpose

This workflow is a use case scenario designed to illustrate best pratices in the long term preservation of 3D digital objects with a final deposit at the CINES (National Computing Center for Higher Education), a public institution supervised by the French ministry for Higher Education and Research which offers services to the scientific community in the long term digital preservation.

Context

This use case scenario was produces by the team of the consortium “3D for Humanities” for the Standardization Survival Kit (SSK), a toolkit for Humanities developed within the PARTHENOS project in order to stabilize knowledge on standards and good research practices, giving access to them in a meaningful way, by the mediation of research scenarios.
