Lozana Rossenova<p>Highlights from <span class="h-card"><a href="https://digipres.club/@despens" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>despens</span></a></span>'s 'In Between Performance and Documentation' keynote yesterday: <br>"1. Everything is software.<br> 2. Software preservation means providing continuous access to reproduced software performance." - these are the rules :)</p><p>From there we looked at singular object vs collection perspectives (loved the pyramid of dependencies graphic ⚠️) as well as modes of preservation that deal with: a) actively developing software to keep it running; b) maintaining environments to run specific software that is itself no longer developed; c) packaging together software and environments and managing only how those package interface with external components (aka emulation-as-a-service). The last mode is most efficient from collection perspective & was beautifully demoed with works by Auriea Harvey (aka Entropy8), and thanks to the encapsulated environment approach, other web resources from the open web archives contemporaneous to the work (e.g. the amazon of the mid 90s) could be called up during the demo session. </p><p>Next things on the wishlist... get EaaS data as LOD✨ & sync up with the rest of the <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/ArtBase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtBase</span></a> archive data 😅</p>
