Transformed Data Architecture in Database Structures
In an effort to uncover the specific database file formats recognised within the Digital Preservation Framework of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a recent search has yielded intriguing results - yet, it also highlights some notable gaps in information.
The search results reveal several database file formats and their corresponding file extensions, each with its own NARA Format ID and Linked Open Data (LOD) file. For instance, Btrieve 5.1, a database management system, uses the file extension 'btr' and falls under the Databases category. Its NARA Format ID is NF00137, and its LOD file can be found at https://www.our website.gov/files/lod/dpframework/id/NF00137.ttl.
Similarly, the dBase Table for Windows 5, another database management system, uses the file extension 'dbf' and is categorized under Databases. Its NARA Format ID is NF00551, and its LOD file can be found at https://www.our website.gov/files/lod/dpframework/id/NF00551.ttl.
Additionally, the AutoCAD component dbConnect Template Set, a digital design and vector graphics tool, uses the file extension 'dbt' and is categorized under Digital Design and Vector Graphics. Its NARA Format ID is NF00126, and its LOD file can be found at https://www.our website.gov/files/lod/dpframework/id/NF00126.ttl.
However, despite these findings, a comprehensive list of file formats and extensions or their corresponding LOD files from NARA's framework was not provided in the available search results. While some references discuss digital preservation practices or NARA-related data systems, none specify the formats or their LOD files within the Digital Preservation Framework.
For those seeking authoritative details on the specific database formats and their file extensions recognised in NARA’s Digital Preservation Framework, or for information on the locations or repositories where LOD files for each format might be found, it is best to consult NARA’s official resources or contact their digital preservation or digital services departments directly. NARA typically maintains guidance, specifications, or datasets on their official website or through archival metadata initiatives.
It is worth noting that the search results did provide some related information, such as file format sustainability and preservation criteria, but these criteria were not explicitly tied to NARA’s framework.
In summary, while the search results have provided some insight into the database file formats recognised by NARA’s Digital Preservation Framework, a direct, specific list of these formats was not found. Similarly, no direct source or link to LOD files for these formats was found in the search results. For precise and comprehensive details, contacting NARA or visiting their official digital preservation documentation is recommended.
An additional finding from the search results is that Btrieve 6.0, another database management system, uses the file extension 'btr' and is categorized under Databases. Its NARA Format ID is NF00541, and its LOD file can be found at https://www.our website.gov/files/lod/dpframework/id/NF00541.ttl. This information was not mentioned in the initial summary due to its later discovery during the research process.
Data-and-cloud-computing technology played a significant role in the recent search for database file formats recognized within the Digital Preservation Framework of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Despite the intriguing results, a comprehensive list of file formats and their corresponding LOD files was not explicitly provided in the available search results.
For those seeking authoritative details on specific database formats and their file extensions within NARA's Digital Preservation Framework, it is best to consult NARA's official resources or contact their digital preservation or digital services departments directly.
