Model and Framework
ForgetIT 1st Review Meeting, April 29-30, 2014
Kaiserslautern, Germany

WP Objectives (from DoW)
●
integrate project components into a technologically coherent framework
●
adopt flexible and extensible solutions
●
define a PoF reference model supporting ForgetIT concepts
Focus of Year 1
• design of the PoF framework architecture
• technology assessment
• identification of project components and early integration
• started working on definition of PoF model
ForgetIT Project GA600826, 1st Review Meeting, Kaiserslautern, April 2014
Objectives of WP and Year 1 Focus

Design of the architecture for the Preserve-or-Forget Framework
Assessment of technologies for PoF middleware and AIS
Definition of components from all WPs, preliminary integration
Analysis of requirements for PoF reference model
Testbed setup and integration plan
PoF framework prototype, synergetic preservation workflow

Achievements in Year 1

Preserve-or-Forget Architecture (D8.1)

PoF Framework Components and APIs (D8.1)

WP9 WP8
WP7

PoF Middleware Components
Shared components (general tasks)
●
ID Manager, Metadata Repository, Scheduler, Context-Aware
Preservation Manager
Other components (core ForgetIT principles)
●
Forgettor, Extractor, Condensator, Contextualizer, Navigator,
Collector, Archiver
For each component full description provided in D8.1
Many components available as prototypes, already integrated

Evaluated several candidates for implementing the Archive
●
Archivematica, FedoraCommons, DSpace, RODA, P4, iRODS, …
Assessment criteria:
●
open-source license, support for ForgetIT data types, TRL,
integration with PDS, language and technologies, documentation,
supporting community, …
DSpace selected as the candidate implementation of PoF Archive
●
widely adopted and actively maintained, supports all ForgetIT data
types, integrates with cloud storage solutions and other platforms
●
extensible with custom add-ons, periodic digital curation tasks,
validation upon ingest, user profiles, ...
Assessment of OAIS platforms (D8.1)

Archive: DSpace admin interface

Archive: DSpace AIP preview

Enterprise Service Bus
●
communication layer for all integrated components
Enterprise Integration Patterns
●
distributed applications and services developed by all WPs
●
leverage best practices in enterprise application integration
Message Oriented Middleware
●
message-based communication layer: asynchronism, routing,
transformation, decoupling, reduced integration complexity
Candidate MOM implementation: Apache ServiceMix
Technologies for PoF Middleware (D8.3)

PoF Middleware: Message Oriented Middleware
© F. Munz, Middleware and Cloud Computing, 2011
© D.A. Chappel, Enterprise Service Bus, 2004

PoF Middleware includes rule-based routing and mediation engine
implementing all Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs)
Seamless integration with messaging system
Pattern Examples: Reply/Forward, MessageRouter
Workflows: rule-based message routing

PoF Middleware: messaging system

PoF Middleware: preserved items

Synergetic Preservation and Managed Forgetting Workflow
Resource restore from Applications (after processing in the storage)
Periodic Curation Tasks (fixity and format checks for bitstreams,
metadata checks for link consistency and completeness, …)
Format migration: leverage PDS computational storage (Storlets)
Metadata migration: DSpace provides tools to convert metadata from
one schema to another, intermediate mapping, extensible
Storage management: integration of DSpace Archive and PDS
Preservation in PoF Framework

Basic Synergetic Preservation Workflow (D8.1)
applications
middleware
archive
cloud storage

Archive: DSpace data model for SIP and AIP (items, collections,
communities), OAIS functional entities implemented (Ingest/Access,
Administration, Data Management, Preservation Planning and
Archival Storage shared with PDS)
PoF Middleware: SIP creation and ingest, DIP access, smooth bi-
directional transition from Applications to AIS, workflow management
PDS: Archival Storage, preservation actions close to data, internal
data model (tenant, docket, aggregation)
OAIS and the PoF Framework

Expected outcome at the end of the project: extend OAIS model to
support ForgetIT approach to preservation
OAIS specification provides: functional model, information model and
model for information package transformation
PoF Reference Model

PoF Reference Model -2
Work in progress: identify model requirements based on ForgetIT
principles and scenarios, analyze available internal models (e.g.
contextualization model) and compare with OAIS
Evaluate emerging digital preservation standards (e.g. MPEG MP-AF)
Challenging activity throughout the whole project lifetime, and an opportunity

Subversion repository and Trac for issue reporting system
ForgetIT Private Network (VPN)
KVM for virtualization (components and services deployed as VMs)
Shared data storage for test samples
Testbed environment and collaborative
development

Collaboration with Presto4U Coordination Action (FP7)
●
assessment of digital preservation platforms and tools adopted by
different communities of practice (archivists, museums,
broadcasters, ...)
Lead of MPEG MP-AF Working Group
●
Multimedia Preservation Application Format
●
evaluation of standard metadata formats for digital preservation
●
new standard ISO/IEC 23000-15 for interoperable digital
preservation format
Dissemination activities
