An Introduction to Disentangling Digital Preservation Risk with CHARM
Print
On 5 July 2024, Dr Maureen Pennock, Head of Digital Collection Management at the British Library, presented an overview of her work to develop the CHARM Reference Model for Digital Preservation Risk, as part of her PhD thesis at the University of Dundee.
CHARM, a risk science approach, differentiates between risk conceptualization and measurement. It aids in creating holistic risk assessments that consider various types of risk, rather than focusing solely on one type. This approach can support flexible and comprehensive preservation planning risk responses.
