Nowadays, a growing number of archival materials is digitized and/or is digitally produced. So, how can archivists ensure future access to this material, especially when software and hardware obsolescence are having a direct effect on its management? In this context, this section presents the digital preservation problem by analyzing its roots, the reasons for taking action, and the challenges that the archival institutions are facing. Besides, the main preservation strategies are presented as well as the most well-known conceptual models and metadata used to encode the important documentation needed for digital preservation, such as provenance information.

Moreover, I present the most widely implemented open-source and commercial archival management software used by archival institutions, along with a short analysis of their features.

In addition, the number of scientific conferences and meetings that are taking place in a regular basis grows, offering to archivists a great opportunity to exchange ideas. In this section, these valuable resources are presented, aiming to act as a useful informative tool for archivists.

In this context, archival institutions have started using them as a means to communicate with their users, and promote their material and activities. In this chapter, the most widely implemented by archival institutions Social Media are presented as well as statistical features for their use. A short analysis is also done on how, when and why archival institutions are using Social Media.

With the aim of safeguarding EU digital publications without any alteration during their life cycle, we have decided to follow standards ISO 14721:2012 (Open Archival Information System) to define the model of our digital preservation system and ISO 16363:2012 to verify the trustworthiness of the digital archival repository. In this context, we will deal with the following issue: how can we be sure that a digital object is the same as when it was created and has not been altered during i...

Driven by the main principle of adherence to the PREMIS Data Dictionary, and a set of well-established Linked Data principles, the draft release of the PREMIS 3 OWL ontology comes after two years of conceptualization, discussion and experi- mentation. The release of the draft was followed by a public review of the revised ontology soliciting a wider discussion about the con- ceptual choices expressed by the ontology. This article explains how interoperability issues have been addressed, with the intent of maintaining continuity between the PREMIS Data Dictionary and the PREMIS OWL ontology.

The book is a useful manual for archivists and information specialists working in cultural heritage institutions, including archives, libraries, and museums, providing detailed analyses of how metadata and standards are used to manage archival material, and how this material is disseminated through the web using the Internet, the semantic web, and social media technologies. Following an introduction from the author, the book is divided into five sections that explore archival description, digitization, the preservation of archives, the promotion of archival material through social media, and current trends in archival science.

Through this analysis it is concluded that an EAD document is a hierarchy of documentation elements and attributes and that through this documen-tation the archive is semantically expressed through three different hi-erarchies (hierarchy of physical objects, hierarchy of information objects and hierarchy of linguistic objects). The semantic views of the archive as well as their interrelationships are mapped to the CIDOC CRM.

The last five years the archival services worldwide have started using Social Media for various purposes, such as content delivery and promotion of their work. Based on this fact, we created an online survey that was sent to various archival services in order to see how they are using these platforms and aiming to present comparative results between them (Greek and non-Greek archival services). The results of our research revealed, among others, that there is an extended use of Facebook, YouTube and blogs by the archival services, while the comparison between Greek and non-Greek services revealed a "gap" between the two cases.
