Science projects are data publishers. The scale and complexity of current and future science data changes the nature of the publication process. Publication is becoming a major project component. At a minimum, a project must preserve the…
How can an author store digital information so that it will be reliably useful, even years later when he is no longer available to answer questions? Methods that might work are not good enough; what is preserved today should be reliably…
A large amount of data and applications are migrated by researchers, stakeholders, academia, and business organizations to the cloud environment due to its large variety of services, which involve the least maintenance cost, maximum…
This paper addresses the issue of making legacy information (that material held in paper format only) electronically searchable and retrievable. We used proprietary software and commercial hardware to create a process for scanning,…
The realization of digital preservation in compliance with legislation is extremely important, especially in a sensitive domain like healthcare, where guaranteeing document reliability, authenticity, integrity and readability over time is…
The immense investments in creating and disseminating digitally represented information have not been accompanied by commensurate effort to ensure the longevity of information of permanent interest. Asserted difficulties with long-term…
Modern information and communication systems have become increasingly challenging to manage. The ubiquitous system logs contain plentiful information and are thus widely exploited as an alternative source for system management. As log files…
The software is changing rapidly with the invention of advanced technologies and methodologies. The ability to rapidly and successfully upgrade software in response to changing business requirements is more vital than ever. For the…
The Open Source Software movement has been growing exponentially for a number of years with no signs of slowing. Driving this growth is the widespread availability of libraries and frameworks that provide many functionalities. Developers…
Recent advances in the area of legal information systems have led to a variety of applications that promise support in processing and accessing legal documents. Unfortunately, these applications have various limitations, e.g., regarding…
Mining Software Repositories (MSR) has become a popular research area recently. MSR analyzes different sources of data, such as version control systems, code repositories, defect tracking systems, archived communication, deployment logs,…
Nowadays, we have the emergence and abundance of many different data repositories and archival systems for scientific data discovery, use, and analysis. With the burgeoning data sharing platforms available, this study addresses how natural…
As software has become an integral part of scientific workflows, reproducible research practices must take it into account. In what way? Archiving source code is a necessary but insufficient condition. The ability to redeploy software…
Software Heritage is the largest public archive of software source code and associated development history, as captured by modern version control systems. As of July 2023, it has archived more than 16 billion unique source code files coming…
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…
Recent reproducibility case studies have raised concerns showing that much of the deposited research has not been reproducible. One of their conclusions was that the way data repositories store research data and code cannot fully facilitate…
The Windsor Study Group on Digital Archiving was commissioned to recommend strategies, policies, and technologies necessary for ensuring the integrity and longevity of electronic publications. The goal of this work is to inform institutions…
Computational research and data analytics increasingly relies on complex ecosystems of open source software (OSS) "libraries" -- curated collections of reusable code that programmers import to perform a specific task. Software documentation…
Open source software is free software that provides user freedom to use, replicate, modify, and distribute for any purpose. The quality of well-known open source software is very high and they are used by big companies such as IBM, Google…
Data lakes are becoming increasingly prevalent for big data management and data analytics. In contrast to traditional 'schema-on-write' approaches such as data warehouses, data lakes are repositories storing raw data in its original formats…
