“…Nesse sentido, convém mencionar as principais definições para o termo "metadados" encontradas por esta pesquisa. Para Dappert et al (2013), metadados são informações sobre um objeto necessárias para gerenciá-lo. Na Política de Preservação Digital, produzida pelo Grupo de Trabalho de Preservação Digital da Biblioteca da Universidade de Glasgow, Metadados são informações adicionais que acompanham o recurso digital para garantir que ele possa ser acessado e compreendido ao longo do tempo, como palavras-chave usadas como tags para permitir uma busca e recuperação precisas.…”

A intensa utilização de plataformas eletrônicas, especialmente no contexto da pandemia do Covid-19, provocou um aumento significativo dos registros digitais, que documentam os mais variados tipos de atividades pessoais e profissionais. Isto evidenciou a necessidade de descrever e contextualizar estes registros, a fim de contribuir para sua preservação e acesso a longo prazo. Assim, este artigo objetiva fazer uma reflexão acerca das condições que tornam um registro digital, arquivístico e a importância de se considerar os metadados destes registros para a sua preservação. As discussões foram desenvolvidas com base em uma revisão sistemática de literatura, fazendo uso do método PRISMA. Constatou-se que, a partir do instante que o metadado passa a fazer parte do registro digital arquivístico, os cuidados para a gestão desses metadados passam a ser tão importantes quanto os cuidados para a gestão do documento ou registro, isoladamente. Já que é impossível realizar a preservação de longo prazo destes materiais sem o efetivo gerenciamento dos metadados que o compõem. Conclui-se que é premente, por parte dos Arquivistas, ampliar a compreensão dos registros digitais arquivísticos como um constructo teórico com desafios conceituais e pragmáticos diferentes, mas não excludentes, daqueles existentes no documento arquivístico digital

“…There is a growing recognition that preserving scientific or business workflows requires new features to be introduced, particularly given the dynamic nature of these objects. A few recent proposals from this community have also taken a similar approach to ours [41,42], by preserving more than process objects themselves and capturing additional contextual information about the processes, data, as well as the human actors involved in the processes. So far these works have more emphasis on preservation of software or business processes, which is a nice complement to our focus on scientific workflows.…”

a b s t r a c tScientific workflows are a popular mechanism for specifying and automating data-driven in silico experiments. A significant aspect of their value lies in their potential to be reused. Once shared, workflows become useful building blocks that can be combined or modified for developing new experiments. However, previous studies have shown that storing workflow specifications alone is not sufficient to ensure that they can be successfully reused, without being able to understand what the workflows aim to achieve or to re-enact them. To gain an understanding of the workflow, and how it may be used and repurposed for their needs, scientists require access to additional resources such as annotations describing the workflow, datasets used and produced by the workflow, and provenance traces recording workflow executions.In this article, we present a novel approach to the preservation of scientific workflows through the application of research objects-aggregations of data and metadata that enrich the workflow specifications. Our approach is realised as a suite of ontologies that support the creation of workflow-centric research objects. Their design was guided by requirements elicited from previous empirical analyses of workflow decay and repair. The ontologies developed make use of and extend existing well known ontologies, namely the Object Reuse and Exchange (ORE) vocabulary, the Annotation Ontology (AO) and the W3C PROV ontology (PROVO). We illustrate the application of the ontologies for building Workflow Research Objects with a case-study that investigates Huntington's disease, performed in collaboration with a team from the Leiden University Medial Centre (HG-LUMC). Finally we present a number of tools developed for creating and managing workflow-centric research objects.

“…5 Dappert et al note the need to describe a digital object's environment in order to be able to reproduce it in their work with the PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata (https://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/). 6 Strubulis et al provide a model for digital object provenance using inference and Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples (https://w3.org/RDF/) since storing full provenance information for complex digital objects, such as the large amount of Mars rover data they offer as an example, would be cost prohibitive. 7 In 2001, Arms describes the landscape of persistent Uniform Resource Names (URN) of Handles, PURLs, and DOIs near the latter's inception.…”

Persistent URLs and Citations Offered for Digital Objects by Digital Libraries

As libraries, archives, and museums make unique digital collections openly available via digital library platforms, they expose these resources to users who may wish to cite them. Often several URLs are available for a single digital object, depending on which route a user took to find it, but the chosen citation URL should be the one most likely to persist over time. Catalyzed by recent digital collections migration initiatives at Indiana University Libraries, this study investigates the prevalence of persistent URLs for digital objects at peer institutions and examines the ways their platforms instruct users to cite them. This study reviewed institutional websites from the Digital Library Federation’s (DLF) published list of 195 members and identified representative digital objects from unique digital collections navigable from each institution’s main web page in order to determine persistent URL formats and citation options. Findings indicate an equal split between offering and not offering discernible persistent URLs with four major methods used: Handle, DOI, ARK, and PURL. Significant variation in labeling persistent URLs and inclusion in item-specific citations uncovered areas where the user experience could be improved for more reliable citation of these unique resources.
