“…Despite the several challenges highlighted, the need for archives as a tool for research continuity coupled with its unique feature of preserving and delivering authentic records compared to other institutions of information preservation cannot be overemphasized. Hence, resulting in the continued effort made in surmounting these challenges [10]. Nengomasha [7] suggested a need for measures to be put in place in ensuring that policies guiding the management of archives are not just given but are strictly adhered to.…”

“…Also, ERA; a 21st-century repository for National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) was built on the foundation of information management architecture for persistent object preservation in collaboration with electronic record archives framework. "Although OAIS and International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in Electronic Systems (InterPARES) served as the foundations of the ERA program, the core of the program stems from the Distributed Object Computation Testbed (DOCT)" [9,10]. SITools2 framework; a subsidiary to SITools built on a client/server architecture was developed to offer common services through an "easy-to-use open-source web platform" to help the scientific community provide data access to their experiments; it provides some services by default and also owns some extension points that can host specific plug-ins [14].…”

Aim: The concept of research/project archiving revolves around access to and storage of past works. With the increase in technology, several universities have incorporated the use of electronic archive systems to store research works to provide easy access to such works and improve their research output. Bowen University, Nigeria however, currently runs a manual system of project archiving which is not in tune with the current trend in research archiving. This work was therefore aimed at designing an electronic project archive system for Bowen University that provides accessibility to securely managed past works to cater for the research needs of undergraduate students and enable them to contribute their quota to knowledge. Study Design: An empirical research study design was employed. Place of Study: Bowen University, Iwo, Nigeria. Methodology: A self-constructed questionnaire designed via Google Forms was administered to current students, past students and staff members of Bowen University to collect data on user requirements; data were analyzed and the results served as a platform to develop a user-centred system. The Bowen University Project Archive System (BUPAS) was built with a focus on the authenticity of the materials archived using HTML for the user interface design, PHP for the system logic to communicate with a carefully designed and structured database, and a local host server, WAMP providing back and forth communication. The usability test was also conducted for users. Conclusion: The use of the agile methodology ensured the development of a fully functional system that provides a faster and easier platform for submitting and accessing project works with users attesting to the need for the system and commending the simplicity and easy navigation of the system. Also, a major strength any archive system should possess is its ability to ensure a secure way of depositing into it to guarantee the authenticity of materials that are being accessed. The Bowen University Project Archive System possesses this strength.

“…See also "Digital Records Maintenance and Preservation Strategies," in Appendix 21c. 86 ODL is a language created by NASA that is used to encode data labels for its Planetary Data System (PDS) and other data systems ( 90 It is worth noting that, based on the repeated and consistent successes of tests of the POP strategy by the Distributed Object Computation Testbed (DOCT), an interagency collaboration between the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), NARA regards the POP "approach as the most promising one ever suggested for preserving digital information in general, and electronic records in particular" (Kenneth Thibodeau (2001), "Building the Archives of the Future," D-Lib Magazine 7(2). Available at http://www.dlib.org/dlib/february01/thibodeau/02thibodeau.html), and has in fact chosen POP as the preservation method on which its soon-to-be-launched Electronic Records Archives (ERA) will rely (see http://www.archives.gov/era/about/).…”

The long-term archiving of digital documents is a very challenging task, because of policy, legal, intellectual property rights, metadata, semantic support and other issues. This paper merges technical and sociotechnical approaches. As more research disciplines and societal sectors have come to rely on datadriven models and observational data, the archiving problem is growing, the shortcomings of current technologies have become apparent and the need to preserve historical material has become imperative. The variety and complexity of digital documents as information technology objects brings up a basic question: does it necessary to preserve the variety and complexity of the original objects? Our answer in general is 'no', essential attributes of a document are preserved when the document is transformed to different platforms. There are many reasons to change the format of a document. We use the categories of physical, logical, and conceptual layers in order to define generic properties that are true of all digital documents. This approach gives an overall framework for general preserving strategy managing technical obsolescence and semantic mutations.
