Analysis of Experience and Lessons from the Development of Foreign Digital Preservation Alliances
[Purpose/Significance]The purpose of this study is to analyze the development experience and lessons from international digital preservation alliances.The findings have significant reference value for promoting cooperative preservation of digital resources and constructing alliances in China.[Method/Process]The research methodology involved a systematic examination of 43 international digital preservation alliances.Through this analysis,it gathered insights into their organizational mechanisms,management practices,operation modes,guarantee systems,and risk prevention mechanisms.Additionally,it collected and studied failure cases and risk events to derive valuable lessons.[Result/Conclusion]The study reveals that the success of an alliance is contingent upon a well-coordinated and unified organizational mechanism,an efficient management structure,a scientifically designed operation mode,an effective risk prevention mechanism,and a stable and reliable guar-antee system.On the other hand,an imbalanced organizational structure,malfunctioning management mecha-nisms,inadequate response to operational risks,and imperfect guarantee systems can hinder the development of an alliance.
