Abstract
Digital obsolescence avoidance systems and methods may determine an obsolescence vulnerability for a digital object. A digital obsolescence avoidance system may include a validation system and an obsolescence vulnerabilities system. The validation system may be configured to receive metadata for the digital object and to determine a digital object kind for the received metadata. The obsolescence vulnerabilities system may be configured to determine one or more dependencies for the determined object kind, to determine an obsolescence vulnerability based on the determined one or more dependencies, and to provide output related to the determined obsolescence vulnerability.
Claims16
A digital obsolescence avoidance system including a memory including instructions for execution by one or more processors, the digital obsolescence avoidance system comprising:
- a validation system configured to receive metadata for a digital object and to determine a digital object kind for the received metadata;
- an obsolescence vulnerabilities system configured to determine one or more dependencies for the determined object kind, to determine an obsolescence vulnerability based on the determined one or more dependencies, and to provide output related to the determined obsolescence vulnerability.
A computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by at least one processor result in a digital obsolescence avoidance method, the method comprising:
- receiving metadata for a digital object;
- determining a digital object kind for the received metadata;
- determining one or more dependencies for the determined digital object kind;
- determining an obsolescence vulnerability based on the determined one or more dependencies;
- and
- providing output related to the determined obsolescence vulnerability.
A computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by at least one processor result in a digital obsolescence avoidance method, the method comprising:
- receiving a digital object;
- validating an object kind for the received digital object;
- determining one or more format values for the validated digital object;
- determining one or more software values for the validated digital object;
- determining one or more operating system (OS) values for the validated digital object;
- determining one or more hardware values for the validated digital object;
- and
- determining an obsolescence vulnerability for the validated object kind based on the one or more format values, the one or more software values, the one or more OS values, and the one or more hardware values.
