4. 4. What digital preservation initiatives does Springer participate in? --KB --GNL --Portico --CLOCKSS --LOCKSS --The Keepers (beta)

5. 5. How does Springer preserve our eBooks and Reference Works? PDFs + metadata OR xml/epub files when available Preservation plan by the initiative (applicable) Internally via Content Management System

6. 6. Growing, dynamic, concept-based works, managed on a collaborative basis Versions linked by doi suffixes, time stamps, histories, or CrossMarks Access Model or Access Plus eReferences

7. 7. Business Models and Digital Preservation: Access Models versus Perpetual Access Versioning and Updates eReferences (publishers may or may not update) vs. Digital Collections (constantly expanding) eReferences paired with journals (semantic enrichment) Reference platforms with interlinking

8. 8. How is the content collected/preserved? Media storage vs FTP site ONIX feed of content + metadata – Updated content may be replace previous version or be preserved alongside previous version(s) Harvesting via LOCKSS box or similar crawl – Tagging in markup for http queries indicates whether content has changed since it was last collected Metadata from preservation initiative is collected by The Keepers

9. 9. What are we trying to preserve? Content (individual articles, images, maps, tables, datasets) Organizational structure Inter-connections and Linking User Experience User Generated Content Concepts and the information surrounding the concepts ?

10. 10. Main issues for publishers: Reference works are becoming more dynamic and much closer to databases Proliferation of file types that are included in these works Ensuring that citations, updates, errata, and addenda are connected and resolve properly What to Preserve: Snapshot versus entire User Experience Where do we go from here? Interactive experiences are becoming more like games (learning platforms, book-like objects) “Book-like Object”? Preserve me!
