Angela Puggioni
The Digital Preservation Coalition has made the next in its series of Technology Watch Guidance Notes, Defining the Designated Community by Christian Keitel (State Archives of Baden-Württemberg) and Jenny Mitcham (DPC), available on general release today after an exclusive one-month DPC Member preview.
The new Guidance Note describes why knowledge of the users of an archive is valuable for informing digital preservation activity. It summarises the OAIS designated community concept and provides examples and guidance on defining this in practice. It also discusses some of the challenges of the term and its use within the digital preservation community and mentions other approaches that organizations have taken to understand and document their users.
