3 Digital Preservation & Risk
SAA Research Forum Portland, OR 25 July 2017 Digital Preservation & Risk “risk is defined as the combination of the probability of an event and its consequences” Barateiro, J., Antunes, G., Freitas, F., & Borbinha, J. (2010). Designing Digital Preservation Solutions: A Risk Management-Based Approach. International Journal of Digital Curation, 5(1), 4–17. Rebecca D. Frank

4 Theoretical Framework
SAA Research Forum Portland, OR 25 July 2017 Theoretical Framework Rebecca D. Frank

5 SAA Research Forum Portland, OR 25 July 2017 Research Questions How do standards developers and auditors conceptualize risk in the context of ISO 16363? What are the differences and similarities by which standards developers and auditors understand risk as it has been communicated by ISO 16363? To what degree do the following seven factors come into play in the assessment of risk for digital repositories: communication, complexity, expertise, organizations, trust, uncertainty, and vulnerability? Rebecca D. Frank

11 Sources of Risk: Financial
SAA Research Forum Portland, OR 25 July 2017 Sources of Risk: Financial “Financial. It seems like storage always seems to be an issue. I think staff expertise has to be hired and as repositories grow more people are required and with greater realms of expertise. So it's all finance.” (CRL_04) Rebecca D. Frank

12 Sources of Risk: Technology
SAA Research Forum Portland, OR 25 July 2017 Sources of Risk: Technology “A change in technology. The idea that you really have to have somebody watching what's going on all the time.” (PTAB_01) Rebecca D. Frank

13 Factors in the Social Construction of Risk

14 SAA Research Forum Portland, OR 25 July 2017 Uncertainty “It is almost impossible to prove success … you really cannot prove the long term digital preservation success to the satisfaction of your donors or your financial supporters.” (PTAB_06) Rebecca D. Frank

15 SAA Research Forum Portland, OR 25 July 2017 Organizations “It would be organizational support. Bottom line is it's a tremendous amount of resources required to do long-term preservation. Organizational commitment to those types of resources often waxes and wanes.” (CRL_06) Rebecca D. Frank
