Preservation Health Check
About the Preservation Health Check Pilot
The Open Planets Foundation (OPF) and OCLC Research are conducting a preservation health check pilot that runs from July 2012 to July 2013.
The pilot will analyse the quality of preservation metadata created and in use by operational repository and deposit systems and evaluate the potential of such metadata for assessing digital preservation risks.
SPRUCE
Leeds University Library is delighted to announce the launch of the Sustainable PReservation Using Community Engagement (SPRUCE) project. SPRUCE will inspire, guide, support and enable HE, FE and cultural institutions to address digital preservation gaps; and to use the knowledge gathered from that activity to articulate a compelling business case for digital preservation.
SCAPE
The SCAlable Preservation Environments (SCAPE) project is co-funded by the European Commission under FP7 and led by the Austrian Institute of Technology. The OPF joins experts from memory instititions, data centres, research labs, universities, and industrial firms in researching and developing scalable preservation systems. SCAPE will develop infrastructure and tools for scalable preservation actions; by providing a framework for automated, quality-assured preservation workflows and by integrating these components with a policy-based preservation planning and watch system.
