Preservation & Storage Formats for Repositories
Preservation & Storage Formats for Repositories
Formats matter if digital content is to be accessible now and preservable in the longer term. Institutional Repositories (IRs), which provide access to and store digital objects produced by many creators, will need to manage a range of formats. This briefing paper explains how formats affect preservation, considers which formats repositories should use for deposit and storage, and describes the practical steps repositories can take to produce an initial preservation plan.
