They also consist of predictable formats, including paper documents in folders, maps, photographic prints and negatives, and reels of film.</p><p>Digital records (those which exist as 1s and 0s in a bit stream on computer-readable storage) are created in an exceedingly diverse range of formats, including documents, structured data, audio/video, and data stored within applications. The rapid rate of technology change shortens the window for effective capture of these records.   </p><p>Digital preservation presents several unique challenges, all of which must be addressed to ensure access to the digital records of the WBG into the future. An effective digital preservation program must: ensure multiple authoritative copies of permanent digital records are in archival custody and that all activities performed on the records are documented; store records with appropriate metadata and contextual information to guarantee that we can find and understand the records; and enable long-term access to digital records regardless of their format, originating system, or technology obsolescence.</p><p><strong>What is the Digital Vault?</strong></p><p>The Digital Vault is the centrepiece of the WBG Archives’ Digital Preservation Program. A combination of tools and digital storage management, it enables the WBG Archives to protect, know, monitor, and repair the permanent digital records of the World Bank Group. By guaranteeing the reliability, integrity, and authenticity of digital records, the Digital Vault serves to protect the Archives’ key goals of transparency and access to information.</p><p>The Digital Vault is necessary to ensure access to all high value digital records throughout the life of the institution and beyond -- regardless of their format or system of origin.</p><p>This diagram shows the activities that the Digital Vault supports related to records preservation and access:</p><p><span> <figure class='lp__body_content_full_size'> <picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='/content/dam/sites/archive/img/780x439/digital-vault-workflow.jpg' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='/content/dam/sites/archive/img/780x439/digital-vault-workflow.jpg' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='/content/dam/sites/archive/img/780x439/digital-vault-workflow.jpg' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='/content/dam/sites/archive/img/780x439/digital-vault-workflow.jpg' class=img-responsive><img src='/content/dam/sites/archive/img/780x439/digital-vault-workflow.jpg' class='img-responsive' alt='The World Bank' title='' id='fig_21a1f1b4f8b841a1a425656198f5d11a_1'></picture></figure></span></p><p>The Digital Vault is much more than just file storage and metadata. It provides a multi-function dashboard to facilitate and coordinate preservation activities that must be performed for all stages of digital preservation. Many activities will be performed in large batches across multiple collections and some may be performed at regular intervals. These activities must be managed centrally across multiple diverse and rapidly growing digital collections.</p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
