Are you ready? Assessing whether organisations are prepared for digital preservation
In the last few years digital preservation has started to transition from a theoretical discipline to one where real solutions are beginning to be used. The Planets project has analyzed the readiness of libraries, archives and related organizations to begin to use the outputs of various digital preservation initiatives (and,...Sinclair, Pauline ; Billenness, Clive ; Duckworth, James ; Farquhar, Adam ; Humphreys, Jane …

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

ArchivePress: A Really Simple Solution to Archiving Blog Content
Blog archiving and preservation is not a new challenge. Current solutions are commonly based on typical web archiving activities, whereby a crawler is configured to harvest a copy of the blog and return the copy to a web archive. Yet this is not the only solution, nor is it always...Pennock, Maureen ; Davis, Richard

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

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 …

LIFE3: Predicting Long Term Digital Preservation Costs
As we develop our ability to preserve digital collections through techniques such as migration and emulation, the decision process of what action to take and when to take it becomes increasingly complex. Cost is a crucial factor to consider but the financial implications of preservation planning decisions are not typically...Wheatley, Paul ; Hole, Brian

Implementing metadata that guides digital preservation services
Effective digital preservation depends on a set of preservation services that work together to ensure that digital objects can be preserved for the long-term. These services need digital preservation metadata, in particular, descriptions of the properties that digital objects may have and descriptions of the requirements that guide digital preservation...Dappert, Angela ; Farquhar, Adam
