The Concept Model enables your archive to develop preservation plans for content types and file formats in a methodical and documented approach. It provides several steps to complete involving:
- Screening and prioritization
- Pre-analysis
- Migration Assessment
- Format Assessment
- Testing data and software
- Consequence Assessment
- and finally the drafting of a Preservation Plan for your archive's management
To support the completion, guides for each step and templates are provided. We present the Concept Model in an English translation from Danish and we kindly ask you to bear this in mind when reading. The translations have been made to support international dissemination of the model.
The purpose of presenting the Concept Model publicly is to transparently publicize our internal methods and contribute to the field of digital preservation. Furthermore, we seek to enable discussions on the methods presented and encourage any Issues to be raised for us to consider.
The poster was presented at the iPRES 2022 conference in Glasgow.
