Abstract

It is a typical day. The computers start normally, but you think that it should not take that long to get the UPS going. Then you wonder about other obstacles. Thus, this chapter is about Digital Preservation and how it relates to shaping the principles and policies regarding the organization, improving performances of preserving the data that has been digitized. Thus, the scholars in the various disciplines concerned with the tendency towards the fragmentations of knowledge and the increasing complexity of the data have sought a unifying approach to knowledge. Notwithstanding the different strategies that will be necessary for different categories of digital objects at different stages in their lifespan, several principles have been identified that underpin all strategies. All of these generalizations are interdependent and no one principle is more important than any other principle. Individual principles should not be considered in isolation. Thus, the emphases are on the generalizations of preserving the data in all the formats that elaborate the concepts that are relevant to preserve the data and illustrate the knowledge of digital objects and their analyses.
