CA – O – RD Contemporary Architecture Open Research Data

2025

Abstract

Presented during the Open Research Data (ORD) Day of the ETH Domain, the CA–O–RD project aims to preserve over 300,000 digital files related to the built environment. Based on standardized protocols, it automates format migration, metadata extraction, and processing documentation, addressing the technical challenges of data obsolescence and interoperability within an open science framework, supporting research, teaching, and the professions of the built environment.

Digital obsolescence

Digital obsolescence is the risk of data loss because of inabilities to access digital assets, due to the hardware or software required for information retrieval being repeatedly replaced by newer devices and systems, resulting in increasingly incompatible formats.

Open science

Open science is the movement to make scientific research (including publications, data, physical samples, and software) and its dissemination accessible to all levels of society, amateur or professional. Open science is transparent and accessible knowledge that is shared and developed through collaborative networks. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open-notebook science (such as openly sharing data and code), broader dissemination and engagement in science and generally making it easier to publish, access and communicate scientific knowledge.

Data migration

Data migration is the process of selecting, preparing, extracting, and transforming data and permanently transferring it from one computer storage system to another. Additionally, the validation of migrated data for completeness and the decommissioning of legacy data storage are considered part of the entire data migration process. Data migration is a key consideration for any system implementation, upgrade, or consolidation, and it is typically performed in such a way as to be as automated as possible, freeing up human resources from tedious tasks.
