La conservazione nel Cloud

Abstract

Several countries are beginning to look at the Internet Cloud as a critical meta-infrastructure that is vital to the functioning of their economy and society. This article contends that, in the future, recordkeeping and preservation systems will be more often than not in the cloud; identifies issues related to contractual agreements; and presents research carried out in the context of the InterPARES Trust project about the development of Preservation as a Service for Trust (PaaST). It concludes that whether these services will be “trustworthy” will depend on the ability of records professionals to develop standards for an international framework for data and records in the cloud, and on their impact on government policy and the public opinion.
