Overview
This session will explore how the nature and complexity of digital preservation risk is demystified with the newly released CHARM risk reference model. The CHARM toolkit represents a deep dive into digital preservation risk. It establishes a series of key underlying concepts, models, and entities, then demonstrates how these can be used to inform production of scenario-based, holistic digital preservation risk assessments.
This session will focus in particular on the detail of the CHARM reference model. It will begin by presenting CHARM’s definition of digital preservation, to demonstrate how this forms the foundations for a conceptual, meaningful and useful definition of the concept of digital preservation risk and associated target values. It will then explain how this definition – and associated models – were used to establish a landscape, abstract model of risk sources in digital preservation. This can be subsequently used with other CHARM artefacts to create scenario-based risk assessments for specific collections or systems. The session will also explore the controlled risk vocabulary created as part of CHARM, in order to explain how terms are used in CHARM and to demonstrate the logic and consistency of the reference model overall.
