In-Depth Information
It automates parts of the ingestion process so it can be of great value for testbeds;
It links the automatically extracted “metadata” with the dependencies of Gap
Manager (so its exploits the recorded registry entries and the dependencies that
might exist);
It is now able to express (actually transform) some of the extracted “metadata”
in RDF, specifically according to CIDOC CRM Digital. The underlying storage
layer can be the file system or a SWMK repository. This means that this approach
allows exploiting SWMK, FIND, as well as the Provenance Query Templates. In
addition dependencies can be added/changed through the API or the Web App of
GapManager.
More CIDOC CRM descriptions could be afterwards added manually (e.g. using
the CNRS Cyclops tool).

17.14.3 Summary
Digital preservation is not easy, as should have been made clear by the first part of
this topic. This chapter has provided a significant amount of details of some practical
ways developed by the CASPAR project to address these complexities.
The CASPAR project has addressed important and research issues, many of
which are still open, and advanced the state of the art within the Digital Preservation
context by:
•
Adopting the OAIS ISO:14721:2003 Reference Model as a basis for the CASPAR
Conceptual Model;
•
Extending the OAIS Information Model and investigating fundamental aspects,
such as:
◦
Representation Information and Information Packaging;
