Abstract
Currently, the amount of data is huge. Not only is the quantity of data growing in size, it is also becoming much more diverse and complex, significantly complicating the issues around its creation. It is increasingly important to improve and maintain infrastructure services for a long time. Therefore, this study uses an automated approach in which digital policies and strategies are represented as rules, which are implemented in data grids that use iRODS middleware. The attempt of using iRODS in this study is to discover the Sinica Data Preservation System (SIDPS) architecture. The SIDPS management platform using iRODS architecture offers better control of the environment and helps to deal with systematic crises, increases efficiency and allows more effective use of systematic resources. © 2014 IEEE.
