Developing a robust migration workflow for preserving and curating hand-held media
Many memory institutions hold large collections of hand-held media, which can comprise hundreds of terabytes of data spread over many thousands of data-carriers. Many of these carriers are at risk of significant physical degradation over time, depending on their composition. Unfortunately, handling them manually is enormously time consuming and so...Dappert, Angela ; Jackson, Andrew ; Kimura, Akiko

A framework for distributed preservation workflows
The Planets project is developing a service-oriented environment for the definition and evaluation of preservation strategies for human-centric data. It focuses on the question of logically preserving digital materials, as opposed to the physical preservation of content bit-streams. This includes the development of preservation tools for the automated characterization, migration,...Schmidt, Rainer ; King, Ross ; Steeg, Fabian ; Melms, Peter ; Jackson, Andrew …

Using Automated Dependency Analysis to generate representation information
To preserve access to digital content, we must preserve the representation information that captures the intended interpretation of the data. In particular, we must be able to capture performance dependency requirements, i.e. to identify the other resources that are required in order for the intended interpretation to be constructed successfully....Jackson, Andrew

People mashing: Agile digital preservation and the AQuA Project
Manual quality assurance (QA) of digitised content is typically fallible and can result in collections that are marred by a variety of quality and access issues. Poor storage conditions, technology obsolescence and other unforeseen problems can also leave digital objects in an unusable state. Detecting, identifying and ultimately fixing these...Wheatley, Paul ; Middleton, Bo ; Double, Jodie ; Jackson, Andrew ; McGuinness, Rebecca

Planets Interoperability Framework Guidelines for Service Wrapping
This document presents the first version of the Planets Service Wrapping Guidelines. It is targeted for preservation tool developers – within the Planets consortium but also third parties – who would like to integrate their tools with the Planets software environment and make use of applications for Preservation Planning, Testing,...Wilson, Carl ; Jackson, Andrew
