Wikibase, the open-source software that powers Wikidata, is increasingly used by cultural institutions. This workshop video is for developers, technologists, and archivists with a technical background who want to go beyond using Wikibase and start creating custom extensions. ⏯️ bit.ly/4AFyRbg

Test your knowledge of digital preservation terms and concepts with DPOE-N flash cards. How do you check for file integrity in your repositories? Learn more about fixity and checksums: www.dpconline.org/handbook/tec...
Fixity check. “Fixity, in the preservation sense, means the assurance that a digital file has remained unchanged, i.e. fixed.” (Bailey, 2014). Fixity checking is the process of verifying that a digital object has not been altered or corrupted. Fixity of files can be established and monitored through the use of checksums.Checksum. A checksum on a file is like a “digital fingerprint”. Even the smallest change to the file will cause the checksum to change completely. Checksums are created using cryptographic techniques and can be generated using readily available open source tools. They can be used to identify if a file has been changed, or whether two files are the same or different, but checksums do not tell you what has changed. See it visually.
Checksum example. Find more info on fixity and checksums at the link!

Time for a digital preservation pop quiz! What is a codec? Have you come across them in your work?
A codec is the means by which audio and video files are compressed (or encoded) for storage and transmission purposes. Codecs are necessary for playback of digital video and audio files, since they compress (encode) and decompress (decode) the moving image and sound files and allow them to be rendered. See it visually.Infographic: Original footage to encoding video codec to video file to decoding video codec to playback.

Test your knowledge of digital preservation terms and concepts with DPOE-N flash cards. What are your thoughts about the 3-2-1 rule? Does it still stand in today’s cloud-forward landscape?
3-2-1 backup strategy. The 3-2-1 backup rule is a best practice in digital preservation. It recommends to maintain 3 copies of your data (the original plus at least 2 copies); use 2 distinct forms of media for storage; keep 1 copy in a geographically separate location. See it visually in the next image.
3 copies of data. 2 types of storage. 1 copy offsite.
