Survey and Research on Long-term Preservation Needs of Digital Science and Technology Resources for Science,Technology and Innovation Institutions
[Purpose/Significance]Long-term preservation of digital technology resources is a crucial guaran-tee for nationals ability to independently innovate in science and technology,as well as a significant manifestation of national scientific and technological security.The digital technology resources of scientific and technological innovation institutions are large,various and extensive.A profound comprehension of the long-term preservation requirements of these institutions,coupled with the promotion of their implementation in additional technological innovation entities,is pivotal for advancing the enduring conservation of digital technology resources in China.[Method/Process]It executed questionnaire surveys and expert interviews among 135 institutions in Beijing,Shanghai,and Shenzhen to gauge the status of digital technology resources,assess long-term preservation needs,and evaluate the cooperation required for long-term preservation.[Result/Conclusion]The digital technology re-sources held by scientific research institutions in our country exhibit significant diversity in both type and presen-tation.Most institutions have recognized the critical importance of preserving such resources for extended periods,and are willing to collaboration with external entities regarding technology,management protocols,standardization systems,and equipment under the umbrella of national policies.Based on the survey findings,it recommends the establishment of a national-level alliance dedicated to long-term preservation to bolster awareness regarding the conservation of science and technology innovation institutions.Additionally,it is imperative to enhance the man-agement of digital scientific and technological resources at an institutional level to collaboratively promote hier-archical classification and systematic preservation efforts for these resources across institutional,academic,and alliance dimensions.It may also be beneficial to identify specific areas for collaboration with leading international digital preservation institutions or organizations.Furthermore,it advocates for the development of a certification system specifically tailored to ensure the long-term preservation of digital scientific and technological resources in China.Lastly,it is necessary to broaden the scope of long-term preservation initiatives for digital scientific and technological resources across diverse fields.
