| Research Abstract |
It is apparent that there is no single answer to all digital preservation problems. In fact, the preservation of digital objects involves a variety of challenges. This study was based on the idea of making metadata a more useful and powerful tool to contribution to the solution of digital preservation as well as digital collection management.
Based on our finding, traditional print-based collection-level designations are still useful within the digital realm, but more information is required for digital collections. (1)The traditional print-based collection-levels are Comprehensive, Research, Study, Basic, Minimal. (2)On the other hand, the digital collection levels, called "persistence levels", which have been synthesized from the Berkeley Digital Library SunSITE Project resulted in six : Archived, Served, Mirrored, Brokered, Linked, Finding Aids.
A requirements analysis framework was developed which associates persistent levels of resource with metadata to help collection managers define the appropriate metadata granularity based on their own preservation requirements. The framework constructed by merging traditional collection levels and "persistent levels" in the form of a matrix is useful for analyzing the requirements.
