Primes

• Conservation Event
  • In digital preservation it is format migration and fixity audits oriented by the requirement that the object remain readable in its reference content state.

Domain-specific

• Digital Data
  • The OAIS reference model shows why long-term digital preservation requires representation information in addition to preserved bit sequences.

Mechanisms

• Archival Succession and Migration Plan
  • It converts a fragile "it's all on Marcia's laptop" into transferable governance

    This sourceRequires institutional preservation responsibilities, a formal succession plan, and independent understandability beyond individual custodians.

• Archive Compaction Workflow
  • … that guards against this is to gate purge on the retention schedule, never destroy an original still within obligation, and periodically dereference a sample of index pointers to confirm the trail still resolves — the recoverability requirement that preservation standards such as the OAIS reference model make central.

    This sourceMakes long-term preservation and continued availability of independently understandable, authentic information central archival responsibilities.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
