The Social Construction of Risk in Trustworthy Digital Repository Certification

Abstract: Risk is a foundational concept in digital preservation. While it has been examined from technical, economic, and organizational perspectives in digital preservation, I argue that it is also a social phenomenon. In this presentation I will discuss the results from two different studies investigating the social construction of risk in digital preservation, focusing on the TRAC (ISO 16363) and CoreTrustSeal trustworthy digital repository certification systems.
