Abstract: 

The EPrints history module is a useful feature for digital preservation; it displays the revision files that are in XML format to visualize metadata change history. However, when an object is heavily revised, the readability decreases, and it becomes difficult to identify core modification. We developed a solution earlier to present only the changed fields related to embargo information. In this proposal, a new method is implemented to keep track of all metadata fields (eprint attributes) in a tabular view by re-rendering the revised information without introducing data redundancy.
