Preserving Digital Data
		Dr. Reagan Moore, San Diego Supercomputer Center

Abstract:
The preservation of data requires many of the same capabilities needed to share
data across administrative domains. In both cases, a shared collection is
created whose management properties are maintained independently of the
original storage systems. I will present the fundamental data management
concepts that govern the used of data grid technology in applications as
persistent archives and digital libraries. The data management concepts will be
illustrated with lessons learned from production persistent archives developed
for NARA, NHPRC, and the National Science Digital Library.

Bio:
Dr. Moore is Program Director of Data Intensive Computing Environments at the
San Diego Supercomputer Center. Moore has a Ph.D. in plasma physics from the
University of California, San Diego, (1978) and a B.S. in physics from the
California Institute of Technology (1967). He coordinates research efforts on
application of the Storage Resource Broker distributed data management system
to digital libraries, data grids, and persistent archives for 13 research
grants ranging from the NSF National Virtual Observatory, to the NSF National
Science Digital Library persistent archive, to the DOE Particle Physics Data
Grid, and the NARA Prototype Persistent Archive.
