A complete preservation workflow in EPrints (+ Plato) - 10 Minute Summary

Through the work done by the Preserv1, Preserv2 and KeepIt digital preservation projects, preservation tools have been integrated tightly with the repository workflow. In this presentation we recap on the previous PASIG presentations and being it right up to date with the completion of the workflow which has been possible due to a close collaboration with the EU PLANETS project. Specifically we look at the power of the PLATO tool for preservation planning before outlining how EPrints can consume to resultant plan and automatically perform any operations detailed in the plan. Finally we look at how EPrints also stores all provenance information relating the plan with any actions and resultant files and how this conforms to the Open Provenance Model (OPM) specification
