Manjula Patel of UKOLN/DCC and Simon Coles of the University of Southampton
have made available a document entitled “A Study of Curation and Preservation
issues in the eCrystals Data Repository and proposed federation” as part of
work undertaken by the DCC in Phase 3 of the eBank UK Project. The study explores: audit and certification; OAIS and representation information; eBank AP and preservation metadata; and the ePrints.org respository software. It also makes recommendations in each of these areas in relation to the development of the eCrystals repository
and proposed federation.
