Abstract
Archives comprise primary sources which may be physical, born digital or digitised. Digital records have a limited lifespan, through carrier degradation, software and hardware obsolescence and storage frailties. It is important that the original bitstream of these primary sources is preserved and can be demonstrated to have been preserved. Soft elicitation with experienced archivists was used to identify the most likely elements contributing to digital preservation success and failure and the relationships between these elements. A Bayesian Network representation of an integrating decision support system provided a compact representation of reality, enabling the risk scores for various scenarios to be compared using a linear utility function. Thus, the effect on risk of various actions and interventions can be quantified. This tool, DiAGRAM, is now in use.
