About ARCHIVER R&D Requirements
In order to reduce time-to-market, ARCHIVER is focused on using a staged approach for R&D.
R&D is encapsulated across 4 layers:
- The storage/basic archiving/secure backup → fast ingest and access
- The preservation for long-term management of digital data following the OAIS model → obsolescence, fixity of files and packaging for access
- The user services → searching, sharing and indexing large and complex datasets
- The advanced services → hosting and running scientific applications to be executed against archived and preserved datasets
Layers 1-3 are considered the minimum R&D levels to be demonstrated. Layer 4 concerns the more advanced services such as data and software reproducibility and domain-specific visual representation of data.
Below you can read and download the technical summaries showcasing the R&D potential of the solutions proposed by the ARCHIVER contractors selected for the Prototype phase.
Prototype Solution
A standard-compliant data preservation solution
T-Systems International, GWDG and Onedata offer an OAIS-compliant data preservation solution, open, easy-to-use, extendable, cost- and energy-efficient, building on pre-existing and proven components for data preservation, data and workflow management.
Pilot Solution
A Research, Management and Preservation Platform
A Research, Management and Preservation Platform combining existing technologies and new components, to overcome obstacles for research dataset management (including preservation).
A solution for long-term data management and online access to address the challenges of how cloud hosted services can be used to store, manage, preserve and provide access to petabyte scale datasets.
