‘Endangered’ in the Presence of Aggravating Conditions Lack of documentation; lack of clarity with respect to intellectual property; embedded complex objects; unstable funding for repository; lack of strategic investment; complex external dependencies; lack of persistent identifiers; bespoke formats; lack of legal deposit mandate. |
||
|
‘Lower Risk’ in the Presence of Good Practice Strong documentation including intellectual property rights; clarity of preservation path and ensuing responsibilities; credible preservation plan; proven capacity of repository; legal deposit preservation copying; post-cancellation access service; persistent identifiers used consistently; non-proprietary formats used and validated; minimal or well managed external dependencies. |

2021 Review This entry was added in 2017 under ‘Published research outputs’, though without reference to the capacity of the repository infrastructure. The 2019 Jury amended it to presume the existence of repository infrastructure and noted that the aggravating conditions which introduce risks and good practice enhancements which reduce it are mostly relevant to repository operations. While the 2020 Jury found no change in trend, the 2021 Jury agreed it should remain vulnerable, but discussed improvements and initiatives towards preservation of research data and outputs leading to the trend towards reduced risk. |
