2 The Library of Congress and NDIIPP National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program The vision of NDIIPP is to ensure access over time to a rich body of digital content through the establishment of a national network of committed partners. $100 million in funding from Congress, Dec st round of funding announced September 30, grants funded for nearly $14 million 2 nd round of funding announced May 6, awards totaling $3 million (in conjunction with NSF)

3 NDIIPP Goals Develop a national collection and preservation strategy Build a network of partners Develop a technical architecture that supports a network Foster research into new tools, techniques, and models for digital preservation From NDIIPP Kick-off meeting, Library of Congress, January 2005 (Laura Campbell)

4 NDIIPP Outcomes Preservation of at-risk digital content National collection development plan Protocols and standards for the technical infrastructure 100+ preservation partners NDIIPP governing body On-going national preservation plan From NDIIPP Kick-off meeting, Library of Congress, January 2005 (Laura Campbell)

14 Vector data: points, lines, polygons Some possible layers: Political Boundaries Census Boundaries Zip Code Boundaries Streets Hydrography Universities Business locations

15 Raster layers: maps of continuous data Elevation Population

16 Images and image processing

17 The National Geospatial Digital Archive What does archiving this type of data mean? Wide variety of data formats Complex data structures Large file sizes Detailed metadata requirements

18 The National Geospatial Digital Archive Key non-technical elements. Collection development policies Contracts Intellectual property

19 The National Geospatial Digital Archive Key technical elements Format registries Build-out of repositories Federation of the systems Initial partners Stanford: David Rumsey Collection UCSB: CaSIL California Spatial Information Library

20 National Initiatives Selection and collection development Intellectual property Retention and sustainability (technical architecture) Economic sustainability
