Abstract:In a large variety of applications, the long-term, guaranteed availability of data is becoming increasingly important. Thus, long-term digital preservation systems have to be inherently distributed to allow content to be replicated. This affects both the preservation of the actual digital objects and their associated metadata. For the latter, RDF has become the prevalent data model. Ensuring data integrity and consistency requires periodic checks to timely detect inconsistencies, for instance due to (partial) … Show more
“…Ensuring data integrity and consistency requires periodic checks to timely detect inconsistencies, for instance due to (partial) hardware failures, and trigger repair actions. Hence, the access characteristics to metadata in long-term digital preservation significantly differ from metadata management in other types of applications (Subotic et al, 2012). Advantages to be addressed in digital preservation include: a maintaining the physical reliability of image files, additional metadata, texts, and programs b ensuring the use of the collection of digital images on a continuous basis c maintaining the security of the collection.…”
The model to evaluate is a model for the preservation of digital evidence-based institutions of criminal investigations where it is essential to preserve evidence that has characteristics of the environment with the purpose of increasing the rate of admissibility of the evidence in court. This article aims to evaluate the model and its impact in terms of security, admissibility, and long-term preservation characteristics. We respond to the following research question: Does the model, implemented in a software application for a case study, raise the admissibility of digital evidence in court? Thus, a software application is developed, the unit of study is defined, and the results are analysed. The study determined that the model, when implemented properly and following the guidance of implementation of the model, raises the admissibility of digital evidence in court.

This article's objective is to screen and analyse the common models of digital preservation that exist, the elements, the degree of compliance with the general guidelines, the use of techniques and compliance with specific requirements as well as to evaluate the need for a solution to the environment of criminal investigation institutions, in the scenario that lacks a specific model. The importance of the preservation of digital objects is currently heavily analysed. Several aspects may serve to make the digital objects worthless, such as the uselessness of hardware, the deficiency of ancient computing formats to support their use, human errors and malicious software. The majority of crimes currently have a digital component, such that governments and the police are obliged by law to indefinitely hold digital evidence for a case's history. Until the presentation of the digital evidence in court, the evidence must be collected, preserved and properly distributed. The systems currently used often involve multiple steps that do not meet the demands of the growing digital world. The volume of digital evidence continues to grow, and these steps will soon become operationally and economically unfeasible for agencies responsible for performing these tasks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
