There has been tremendous growth in the amount of digital content created by libraries, publishers, cultural institutions and the general public. While there are great benefits to having content available in digital form, digital objects can be extremely short-lived unless proper attention is paid to preservation.
The rise of interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to research - often integrating text, data, and audio-visual material - has enabled new forms of scholarly output. As scholarly communication becomes increasingly complex, how can we ensure that 'born-digital' artifacts are also 'born-preservable'?
Drawing on years of experience, senior leaders from Portico share their perspective on the digital preservation landscape in an article for UKSG Insights. The paper outlines emerging opportunities, including collaborating with national libraries; engaging new stakeholders such as business, financial, and governmental institutions; developing next generation technology infrastructures; and automating metadata extraction and enrichment through natural language processing and machine learning.
