dc.description.abstract | A digital culture is expressed through digital media. This means that a part of our cultural heritage is now embodied in digital artifacts including software. Using this as a base premise, this thesis aims to disclose and discuss the current state and future of Norwegian software preservation. In order to bring about such a discussion, it maps the challenges related to software preservation and evaluates the currently available strategies for ensuring long-term access to locally executable digital artifacts. The challenges of preserving software are discussed on the basis of a broad theoretical framework and a case study of three U.S. institutions which have all implemented different frameworks for ensuring executable artifacts namely the Internet Archive, Stanford University Libraries and the Media Archaeology Lab. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | En digital kultur uttrykkes gjennom digital medier. Dette betyr at deler av vår kulturarv nå er innlemmet i digitale artefakter også software. Med dette som grunnpremiss, har denne oppgaven som sin hensikt å avdekke og diskutere den nåværende situasjonen for norsk software-bevaring. For å kunne gjøre dette, kartlegger denne oppgaven utfordringene ved å bevare software og evaluerer de tilgjengelige strategiene for langtidsbevaring av lokalt kjørbare digitale artefakter. Utfordringene ved å bevare software diskuteres utfra et bredt teoretisk rammeverk samt en kasusstudie av tre ulike amerikanske institusjoner som har implementert tre ulike strategier for å bevare kjørbare digital artefakter henholdsvis the Internet Archive, Stanford University Libraries og the Media Archaeology Lab. | en_US |
