1. Martin Halbert MetaArchive Cooperative Thursday, June 25, 2009 NDIIPP Annual Meeting Washington, D.C.

2.  Exchange data between repositories EchoDEP HANDS (Hub and Spoke) NDIIPP/CDL Bagit  Get data out of repositories and ingest into long-term distributed preservation networks Chronopolis (SRB/IRODS GRID Computing) MetaArchive (Private LOCKSS Networks) DataPASS (Private LOCKSS Networks) 6/25/20092NDIIPP Annual Meeting - Washington, D.C.

3.  How can we leverage development efforts across projects with similar aims? i.e. Could Private LOCKSS Networks projects develop interoperable modules? i.e. Can we use HANDS in other projects?  Can we leverage separate infrastructures that do similar things? Could we back archives up in both PLNs and SRB grids simultaneously? 6/25/20093NDIIPP Annual Meeting - Washington, D.C.

4.  PLN API or Schema Discussed at an exploratory meeting held February 19 at GA Tech  Inter-network interoperation practices MetaArchive NHPRC project entails collaborative testing of data sharing between PLNs and SRB  Adapting HANDS to other projects Also discussed at same GA Tech meeting 6/25/20094NDIIPP Annual Meeting - Washington, D.C.

5. “An application programming interface (API) is a set of routines, data structures, object classes and/or protocols provided by libraries and/or operating system services in order to support the building of applications.” -Wikipedia definition of API 6/25/2009NDIIPP Annual Meeting - Washington, D.C.5

6.  A schema for representing technical information common to multiple PLNs  This would be an XML representation of the common technical data needed to operate a private LOCKSS network  Should include a data description of the network as a whole, descriptions of collections, replications expected, common metadata, etc.  May be some possibilities of combining parts of the DataPASS and MetaArchive schemas with the elements of the LOCKSS title DB 6/25/2009NDIIPP Annual Meeting - Washington, D.C.6

7.  Form an inter-institutional working group to develop a PLN schema  The schema should capture the “thou-shalts” that drive a PLN  Should identify core operational data we agree on, and mechanism for identifying additional information  Need to capture both status information versus policy information  Proposed participation by LOCKSS, DataPass, and MetaArchive (Pedals? ADPN?) 6/25/2009NDIIPP Annual Meeting - Washington, D.C.7
