The Integrated Preservation Suite: Demonstrating a scalable preservation planning toolset for diverse digital collections (demonstration)

Abstract

• The Integrated Preservation Suite is an internally funded project at the British Library to develop automated and scalable preservation planning capability for a highly diverse and growing digital collection. Core components include a technical knowledge base, a software repository, a policy and planning repository, and a preservation watch function, all accessed via a web-based Preservation Workbench and designed to integrate with any repository software through a modular API-based architecture. We will demonstrate work to date, showing how preservation plans can be constructed and populated for the formats currently supported.
