Digital lifecycle cost study reaches climax
Kim Thomas
A project funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) to investigate the costs of digital preservation has entered its most crucial phase.
The Life project, a joint venture between the British Library and University College London, has developed a methodology to calculate the long-term costs of preserving digital assets. It did this by analysing and comparing three different digital collections and applying a lifecycle approach to each.
In the second phase of the project, due to be completed in August 2008, the Life team will continue to refine its costing methodology and ask an external economist to assess its validity.
A report on the first phase raised strategic issues about digital preservation. These include the need for a wider collaborative approach between higher education institutions and libraries to aid the cost-effective development of tools and methods, and the creation of long-term partnerships between institutions to address common requirements.
