202.1 Digging into the Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values.

In December 2017, a group of digital preservation service providers released a Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values draft document and invited feedback from the digital preservation community. This draft document was the culmination of months of effort on the part of representatives from North American (United States and Canada) non-profit organizations who attempted to develop a set of common principles and values related to their organization’s digital preservation service offerings and community efforts. This effort around defining shared values was an initial step in identifying potential areas of collaborative work that these service providers could explore in the near future. During the open comment period (December 2017 to March 2018), numerous comments, insights, and critiques were provided by individuals. This community feedback has assisted this nascent group in identifying where the document needs to be clarified and focused, but more importantly has highlighted a number of issues worth exploring more deeply. This panel will begin with a brief background and contextual framing for the Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values, and would then shift to a facilitated discussion with the audience around some of the issues identified during the open comment period, including, but not limited to: Open vs. closed in relation to content, software source code, infrastructure; Challenges of ‘affordability’ and costs of digital preservation services; Cumulative goal of digital preservation (ie, a compiled record of human events, a partial digital reflection); The definition of ‘Collaboration’; and Sustainability as a shared value.2017年12月，一群数字保存服务提供商发布了《数字保存共同价值观宣言》草案文件，并邀请数字保存社区的反馈。该草案文件是北美（美国和加拿大）非营利组织代表数月努力的结果，他们试图制定一套与各自组织数字保存服务提供和社区努力相关的共同原则和价值观。围绕定义共同价值观的努力是这些服务提供商未来探索潜在合作领域的第一步。在公开意见征求期间（2017年12月至2018年3月），众多个人提供了评论、见解和批评。这一社区反馈帮助这一新成立的小组确定了文件需要澄清和专注的领域，更重要的是，突出了需要进一步深入探讨的若干问题。本小组将首先简要介绍《数字保存共同价值观宣言》的背景和情境框架，随后将引导听众就公开意见征求期间确定的一些问题进行讨论，包括但不限于：内容、软件源代码、基础设施的开放与封闭；数字保存服务的‘可负担性’和成本挑战；数字保存的累积目标（即人类事件的汇编记录，部分数字反映）；‘合作’的定义；以及作为共同价值观的可持续性。
