Principles for Digital Preservation

Gladney, H. M.

Original · EN

The immense investments in creating and disseminating digitally represented information have not been accompanied by commensurate effort to ensure the longevity of information of permanent interest. Asserted difficulties with long-term digital preservation prove to be largely underestimation of what technology can provide. We show how to clarify prominent misunderstandings and sketch a 'Trustworthy Digital Object (TDO)' method that solves all the published technical challenges.
