Abstract:
Long-term preservation (LTP) is an appealing new research area from MISâ€™s perspective. Its goal is to make the sustainability of digital archives and the knowledge embedded that last for a foreseeable enough time. The efforts are primarily hampered by challenges such as lack of stands and formal methodology as well as workflow model during archiving. This paper addresses the further deficits of failing to keep interoperation among archives, information loss without any sense of information decay etc. The objective of this research is to explore the LTP of documents from various kinds of governmental specialties, that are independent from the progress of time and changes in digital techniques and technological environments. This paper also exploits the basic requirements coming from the integration of storage and information management, securing preservation of data, indexes, metadata, etc. Then, we present the evolutionary development of the LTP process for Governmental Archive Management and Knowledge Management in respond to the requirements. We then argue for following tasks such as effective search to resources and efficient storage/access on data, consistent user-interface, recovery drawing on co-location back-up, dynamic regulation on authentication and security management. Then, we present an advanced Semantic Data Grid and its annotation and service matching mechanisms where the ontologism plays a crucial role. Last but not least, we summarize the experiences learned and the future works with respect to the Semantic Grid for LTP bases on the knowledge management spiral developed in this research.
