# [drf:1966] Fwd: Notice of cessation of PADI gateway and padiforum-l

- Date: Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:30:34 +0900

    皆様
    たびたび済みません。
    最初の土屋先生の問題提起（人力によるサブジェクト・ゲートウェイの維持可能
    性）について、もう一つ象徴的なニュースがあります。
    オーストラリア国立図書館が維持してきたデジタル保存に関する情報源へのゲー
    トウェイの閉鎖です。
    やはり図書館スタッフが人力で維持していくのは無理という判断のようですね。

    Apologies for cross posting

    The PADI subject gateway http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/
    <http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/>  and associated list padiforum-l
    http://listserver.nla.gov.au/wws/info/padiforum-l were initiated as a
    service to the digital preservation community and have been maintained
    by the National Library of Australia since 1997 in order to collocate
    selected information on digital preservation. For background information
    see “About PADI”, http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/about.html .

    Currently the gateway includes links to a little over 3000 resources
    organised by over 60 topics which can be browsed using the topic listing
    http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/topics/thesaurus.html .

    As is to be expected with any portal to Web based documents maintenance
    of web links becomes progressively more demanding over time.  Websites
    are redesigned, migrated to new platforms, URL’s are changed, projects
    and their websites cease, so called persistent identifiers are not, and
    even when web documents or pages are archived in a web archive,
    questions arise as to which version of an archived page to link to
    (which date or even which archive as copies may be held in multiple web
    archives with different levels of completeness).  The current structure
    of PADI requires the Library to commit around 0.5 of a fulltime staff
    member to locate, describe and enter links to new information sources
    and to maintain links to existing resources.  Although originally
    conceived as a cooperative contribution model, increasingly the burden
    of adding material to PADI has fallen to the NLA as input from elsewhere
    has almost ceased.

    The information-seeking and information-providing mechanisms of a
    community also change over time.  After reviewing the gateway service
    the Library has concluded that the existing website, database and list
    no longer meet the current needs and that the Library’s resources are
    best invested elsewhere.  While there may be more efficient ways of
    building a service like PADI today, using Web 2.0 tools, the Library is
    unable to make the investment in converting the existing service.

    Reluctantly – because we still find PADI useful ourselves – we believe
    we cannot sustain PADI, and have decided to cease maintaining it.

    A copy of the website has been archived in PANDORA
    <http://pandora.nla.gov.au/tep/10691>, Australia’s  Web Archive.  The
    existing live website will remain available until the end of 2010;
    however no new resources have been added since the start of July 2010
    and the existing links will not be actively managed. The archives of the
    padiforum-l list will continue to be available , however no new postings
    will be accepted from 30 September 2010.

    Thank you to all who have been interested in and worked on PADI over the
    past fourteen years.

    Regards
