Linked Open Data for Digital Design and Vector Graphics Formats
Digital design and vector graphics records are accessed and updated through software (a designer and viewer) that enables users to design a product. The steps in the design process include creating, modifying, and representing the product in two and three dimensions.
The significant properties of digital design and vector graphics records are documented in a Digital Design and Vector Graphics Preservation Plan, which can be used as test criteria for tools and processes used in format transformations.
NARA makes its Linked Open Data available in the Resource Description Framework Terse RDF Triple Language, or RDF Turtle (.ttl files). These files can be opened in any text editor. The Digital Preservation Framework as Linked Open Data includes the same elements as are available in the version of the Preservation Plans on GitHub.
These Plans are not exhaustive nor universally applicable proposed actions and recommended or endorsed tools: these represent file formats and variant versions in NARA holdings, the current NARA risk assessment, processing capabilities, and tools in use at NARA.
