Short Paper: A DECADE OF TRUSTWORTHY DIGITAL REPOSITORY CERTIFICATION: YET THERE WAS ONE

Abstract

As the only institution in the world with an ISO 16363:2012-certified repository, the U.S. Government Publishing Office now sets forth to pursue assessment under CoreTrustSeal to supplement its internationally recognized certification. While ISO 16363:2012 is still recognized as the “gold standard” for digital preservation repository certification, GPO believes additional assessment will serve to mitigate risks related to the lag in digital preservation community adoption of formal certification and potential future unavailability of ISO 16919:2014 accredited certification bodies to administer audits. This short paper presents GPO’s work in progress to pursue this secondary form of assessment and GPO’s observations and lessons learned as an ISO 16363-certified repository thus far.
