8 Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation
Conference on the Preservation of Digital Objects (iPres) has been
held annually since it began in 2004." This was the first regularly
held international conference devoted entirely to digital
preservation. The ongoing occurrence of these conferences since
2004 suggests measurable progress towards formalizing the digital
preservation community through an exchange of developments and
practice.
Shared Group Goals
Shared group goals require that "group members are
interdependent with respect to goal attainment, in the sense that
progress by one member towards his or her objectives makes it
more likely that another member will also reach his or her
objectives."14 There have been ongoing efforts to define and
encourage good practice that reflect shared goals for digital
preservation since the mid-1990s.15 Three community documents
have formalized digital preservation practice. The OAIS Reference
Model was developed with broad participation by digital curators
and approved by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in
2003.16 OAIS was developed to be applicable in any organizational
context in which digital content is managed for the long-term. The
Attributes of a Trusted Digital Repository: Roles and
Responsibilities report addressed the implementation of OAIS by
identifying prerequisites for an organization to conform to OAIS.17
