Fedora Preservation Services - a Working Group Report

A major objective of the Fedora Preservation Services Working Group (WG) is to facilitate the creation of trusted digital repositories. To accomplish this end, the Working Group is specifying the requirements and architecture for services and technologies that can be readily integrated into the Fedora Framework. In the specification process, the WG is focused on the underlying capabilities to support digital object persistence, life cycle management, multidisciplinary collections, and management of the repository environment (e.g. storage, memory, operating system, etc). This presentation will provide a WG progress report with special emphasis on the concept architecture, key features such as event management, and an early view of the development plan. The discussion will also cover how Fedora preservation services relate to PREMIS and the audit checklist for Trusted Digital Repositories
