2.1 A TRUSTWORTHY DIGITAL REPOSITORY
...
Community, now and into the future’ (reference [B2]). Expanding the definition has caused great discussion both within and across various groups, from the broad digital preservation community to the data archives or institutional repository communities.
A trustworthy digital repository will understand threats to and risks within its systems.
Constant monitoring, planning, and maintenance, as well as conscious actions and strategy implementation will be required of repositories to carry out their mission of digital preservation. All of these present an expensive, complex undertaking that depositors, stakeholders, funders, the Designated Community, and other digital repositories will need to rely on in the greater collaborative digital preservation environment that is required to preserve the vast amounts of digital information generated now and into the future.
Communicating audit results to the public—transparency—will engender more trust, and additional objective audits, potentially leading towards certification, will promote further trust in the repository and the system that supports it. Finally, attaining trustworthy status is not a one-time accomplishment, achieved and forgotten. To retain trustworthy status, a repository will need to undertake a regular cycle of audit and/or certification.

The vision underlying the work of Next Generation Repositories is, “to position repositories as the foundation for a distributed, globally networked infrastructure for scholarly communication, on top of which layers of value added services will be deployed, thereby transforming the system, making it more research-centric, open to and supportive of innovation , while also collectively managed by the scholarly community.”
