Linked Open Data for Textual and Word Processing Formats
Textual and word processing records are created through the use of a word processing or text processing tool. Examples include but are not limited to: Minutes of meetings, organizational charts, diaries, calendars, correspondence, reports, briefing books, legal opinions, and directives.
The significant properties of textual and word processing records are documented in a Textual and Word Processing 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.
