Evaluating the SHAMAN Digital Preservation Framework for memory institutions

Abstract

Abstract. The paper falls under the category Digital preservation and access management. The aim of\nthe paper is to present the approach to evaluating the EU SHAMAN (Sustaining Heritage Access\nthrough Multivalent ArchiviNg) project outcomes from the point of view of the needs and requirements\nof the memory institutions. The complex approach to the evaluation of the outcomes is defined by the\ncomplexity of the projects goals. The evaluation and assessment design draws upon earlier evaluation\nof digital repositories and other projects in the area of digital preservation. The evaluation has to be\ncarried out from the perspective of the representatives of research and development community, the\nmemory organizations such as libraries, archives and museums, the end-users of technology, such as\nlibrarians, curators and archivists and the end-users of preserved materials, such as researchers,\neducators and artists. Quantitative and qualitative data collection tools and methods are constructed for\nthe use in the assessment process. The particular requirements that memory institutions have for longterm\ndigital preservation systems are taken into account.
