Establishing metadata requirements is a key challenge for any attempt to implement a digital preservation repository. The repository’s capacity to provide costeffective, trustworthy services largely derives from the metadata it uses. This paper describes the metadata posited to support services the Chronopolis preservation system will offer at the conclusion of its first year of development. Ch...

The enormous amount of valuable information that is produced today and needs to be made available over the long-term has led to increased efforts in scalable, automated solutions for long-term digital preservation. The mission of preservation planning is to define the optimal actions to ensure future access to digital content and react to changes that require adjustments in repository operation...

The Persistent Archive Testbed and National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) research prototype persistent archive are examples of preservation environments. Both projects are using data grids to implement data management infrastructure that can manage technology evolution. Data grids are software systems that provide persistent names to digital entities, manage data that are distribu...

Digital Preservation, often seen as information management with a long-term mission, is recognized as an independent research area, but the field’s maturity is still evolving. Reference models and compliance criteria for archival systems are being developed, but the more general perspective of Governance, Risk and Compliance has yet to be fully considered. In particular, Digital Preservation ca...

Small businesses (small office/home office, SOHO) have tremendous amounts of digital information. At the same time, they have little to no expertise on how to manage it, not to mention caring for their long-term preservation, as even simple back-up strategies pose already drastic challenges. This demo presents the Hoppla archiving system to provide digital preservation solutions specifically fo...

In 2006 the Portuguese National Archives (DirectorateGeneral of the Portuguese Archives) engaged in the development of an OAIS compatible digital repository system for long-term preservation of digital material. Simultaneously, at the University of Minho a project called CRiB was being devised which aimed at the development of a wholesome set of services to aid digital preservation. Among those...

This research lays the foundations for a new object-centric digital preservation paradigm based in computational intelligence, where the digital objects manage their own preservation and budget, powered by a social network as an environment that enables their behavior under the policy that “preservation is to share”. The mission of these objects is their long-term preservation, which entails be...

purpose: optisol-gs is still the most popular cold storage medium used in the united states for short term preservation of donated corneas. cebi medium is a new cold storage medium made by the central eye bank of iran for donor cornea storage. this study was conducted to compare the quantitative and qualitative indices of the donated corneas maintained in optisol-gs versus in the cebi medium. m...

BABS is an acronym for Library Archiving and Access System (Bibliothekarisches Archivierungsund Bereitstellungssystem), which constitutes the infrastructure for digital long-term preservation at the Bavarian State Library (BSB). During the two-year project BABS2 funded by German Research Association (DFG) BSB focuses together with the LeibnizSupercomputing Centre (LRZ) on advancing its organiza...
