Abstract:The National Transportation Library (NTL) is an all-digital repository of transportation knowledge that falls under federal mandates to “serve as a central clearinghouse for transportation data and information of the Federal Government.” as well as “use best practices in digital preservation and search to optimize archiving, dissemination, and search features which will ensure long-term stewardship of the results of federally-funded
research.” In line with these governing legislation, NTL has committed to maintaining a trustworthy repository that can reliably provide long-term public access to its holdings. This poster documents NTL’s process of planning for a self-assessment and peer review of ROSA P against the 16 Core Requirements of Repository Trustworthiness set forth by the CoreTrustSeal. A primary component of this process was gathering policy, procedural, and planning documentation to serve as potential evidence of NTL’s trustworthiness. Engaging in this task allowed NTL to identify gaps in documentation, which not only benefits the trustworthiness assessment, but more generally, provides NTL with knowledge management guidance by identifying undocumented workflows and tacit knowledge that will need to be captured in the near future.
