我们数字财产的长期命运：个人档案服务模式的探讨
The Long Term Fate of Our Digital Belongings: Toward a Service Model for Personal Archives
摘要：
我们进行了初步的实地研究，以了解个人数字存档在实践中的现状。我们的目标是通过研究个人存档需求如何与现有和新兴的存档技术、最佳实践和政策交叉，设计一种长期存储、保存和访问数字财产的服务。我们的研究结果不仅证实了有经验的家庭计算机用户正在创建、接收和发现越来越多的数字财产，而且他们已经失去了不可替代的数字文物，如照片、创造性成果和记录。虽然与会者报告了数字化电子邮件的备份和文件复制等战略，但他们很少能够始终如一地实施这些战略。从这些数据中可以看出四个主要的归档主题：（1）人们发现很难评估积累的材料的价值;（2）个人存储在网上和网下都高度分散;（3）人们正在经历与管理文件、创建适当的元数据以及将材料迁移到主流格式相关的放大的策展问题;以及（4）当前桌面隐喻不支持长期访问的设施。四个环境因素进一步使消费者环境中的归档复杂化：恶意软件的普遍影响;消费者对临时IT提供商的依赖;次要系统和注册表不一致的增加;以及消费者对数字形式的不可破坏性、数字技术的可靠性和网络存储的社会脆弱性的强烈信念。
英文摘要：
We conducted a preliminary field study to understand the current state of personal digital archiving in practice. Our aim is to design a service for the long-term storage, preservation, and access of digital belongings by examining how personal archiving needs intersect with existing and emerging archiving technologies, best practices, and policies. Our findings not only confirmed that experienced home computer users are creating, receiving, and finding an increasing number of digital belongings, but also that they have already lost irreplaceable digital artifacts such as photos, creative efforts, and records. Although participants reported strategies such as backup and file replication for digital safekeeping, they were seldom able to implement them consistently. Four central archiving themes emerged from the data: (1) people find it difficult to evaluate the worth of accumulated materials; (2) personal storage is highly distributed both on- and offline; (3) people are experiencing magnified curatorial problems associated with managing files in the aggregate, creating appropriate metadata, and migrating materials to maintainable formats; and (4) facilities for long-term access are not supported by the current desktop metaphor. Four environmental factors further complicate archiving in consumer settings: the pervasive influence of malware; consumer reliance on ad hoc IT providers; an accretion of minor system and registry inconsistencies; and strong consumer beliefs about the incorruptibility of digital forms, the reliability of digital technologies, and the social vulnerability of networked storage.
