Requirements

  • Allow researchers to archive “small” files

 Up to 2GB  Make it a free service so researchers will use it  Reduce costs by storing on tape

  • Reuse existing concepts and applications

 Allow use in federated context  Reduce development and maintenance costs by using available systems

  • Make sharing of archived data as easy as archiving

 Archived data is not necessarily open access  Let researchers restore their data  … and let them share it using a simple URL

  • Make archived data globally identifiable using PIDs

 So researchers can reference it elsewhere  … and can retrieve it using the PID

Conclusion & Lessons Learned

  • simpleArchive is available to researchers at RWTH Aachen since Q2 2016
  • Implementation reuses existing systems and APIs

 gigaMove  Backup-Portal  OAuth2 Service  REST Application Proxy

  • Even for a simple process, policies are needed

 How long is the data actually stored?  Who can restore the data?  Can archives be transferred?  Can archives be deleted?

PID Service Archive Cache OAuth Authorization User Information Application Proxy Simple Archive UI

Future Challenges

  • Evaluate the possibilities for other Universities

 Archive as a service by RWTH Aachen University  Only using temp. storage and sharing with remote archives

  • Use web service infrastructure to add archival to other frontends

 Intranet  SharePoint  …

  • How to combine simpleArchive with

 Publication workflow  Metadata annotation  Digital timestamps
