Workshop Proposal
Abstract: 

[The proposal is for a 4 hour workshop from 1 - 5 pm]

The session will be of interest to both digital preservation novices and practitioners and is organized along three themes:
1) “In a perfect world” describes a birds-eye view of OAIS based digital preservation workflows where micro-services move digital content from ingest to archival storage and public access, all informed by the adoption of of community-based format policies.
2) “When the rubber hits the road” deals with the issues and limitations associated with the current suite of digital preservation tools.
3) “What you can do now and feel in control” deals with practical digital preservation tools (open source and commercial) you can implement with little effort with a focus on PDF text, video and image file formats.
The speakers represent a variety of digital content platforms including Archivematica, CONTENTdm, DSpace and EPrints.
