Abstract

Management of change is essential to ensure the long-term reusability of digital assets. Change can be brought about in many ways, including through technological, user community and policy factors. Motivated by case studies in space science and time-based media, we consider the impact of change on complex digital objects comprising multiple interdependent entities, such as files, software and documentation. Our approach is based on modelling of digital ecosystems, in which abstract representations are used to assess risks to sustainability and support tasks such as appraisal. The paper is based on work of the EU FP7 PERICLES project on digital preservation, and presents some general concepts as well as a description of selected research areas under investigation by the project.
