New page

EPrints 3 already provides a great number of preservation focussed features which are outlined @ [Preservation Support].

In EPrints 3.2 we are looking to enable a framework on top of which active preservation services can applied, such as file classification, risk analysis and migration tools. However we are not going about this by simply thinking of some scenarios and then expecting the users to implment them. By working closely with the Preserv2 (http://www.preserv.org.uk) project we have been building a framework for actual services which this project has provisioned.

We have already mentioned the new [StorageController] and this now means that you can manage the location of your files and even spread them over multiple locations, enabling the LOCKSS technique to be applied.
