New NDSA Report: The Benefits and Risks of the PDF/A-3 File Format for Archival Institutions While a PDF/A-3 file's primary document is still intended to be robust against preservation risks over the very long term, PDF/A-3 does not require that the embedded files be considered archival content, creating a series of potential technical and policy challenges for preserving institutions. The National Digital Stewardship Alliance Standards and Practices Working Group<http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndsa/working_groups/standards.html?loclr=blogsig>clearly recognized these challenges and felt the community would benefit from an examination of the format and what it means for collecting institutions. http://1.usa.gov/1jgTYUy Source: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/02/new-ndsa-report-the-benefits-and-risks-of-the-pdfa-3-file-format-for-archival-institutions/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://1.usa.gov/1jgTYUy+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
