Preservation platforms and systems Clause Samples

Preservation platforms and systems. In the following Sections we quickly describe two digital preservation platforms which have been evaluated during the first year. Both of them have been designed and implemented in order to be compliant with the OAIS model. Several solutions are available, originating from other research projects and initiatives or from commercial vendors. In the open source community other platforms that is worth mentioning and which will taken into account for the second year evaluation include also Dspace21 and Fedora22 (and their derivatives, such as RODA) from Duraspace. Almost all solutions adopt METS23 as the main wrapper for OAIS information packages, while different approaches are used for descriptive, technical and rights metadata. Concerning data curation, the typical approach makes use of a workflow engine to execute preservation tasks on stored content, while for storage the favourite solutions include disks via NFS or CIFS, LTO tapes, shared or federated storage systems and cloud storage services. Other differences are related to the possibility to customize existing workflows and integrate with existing external systems for digital content management.
