In order to identify and document possible threats to the Digital Collections, the UNT Libraries
team borrowed heavily (with permission) from the original document created by the Scholars'
Portal.
Typologies of threats
This section introduces a number of risk analysis frameworks used by the digital curation
community. The structure employed by Scholars Portal for their own Risk Analysis and
Management Strategies documentation was reviewed in creating the current documentation.
The UNT Libraries, having adopted the Scholars Portal framework, is including portions of that
original analysis as a point of reference to prior work conducted in this area. This section
outlines some typologies of threats found in the Consultative Committee on Space Data
Systems' (CCSDS) Audit and Certification of Trustworthy Digital Repositories criteria, the
PLATTER framework developed by DigitalPreservation Europe (DPE), and the disaster recovery
planning process used by HathiTrust.
CCSDS typology
The Audit and Certification of Trustworthy Digital Repositories criteria expects that the repository
"maintain[s] a systematic analysis of security risk factors associated with data, systems,
personnel, and physical plant" (sec. 5.2.1). In their detailed explanation, the checklist
recommends that the repository identify and manage risks related to:
" Hardware, software, communications equipment, facilities, and firewalls
" Physical environment
" Personnel, management, and administration
" Operations and service delivery
" Income, budget, reputation, and mandate
" Contractual and regulatory compliance
" Personnel knowledge and skills
" External threats and denial of service attacks
" Relationships with third parties
PLATTER typology
The PLATTER (Planning Tool for Trusted Electronic Repositories) checklist developed by
DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE) encourages repositories to focus on "foreseeable disasters" in
eight general categories (p. 37-39):
