Distributed Digital Preservation in practice

This webinar will explore the use of RODA 5 (Repository of Authentic Digital Objects) to facilitate Distributed Digital Preservation.

The KEEP SOLUTIONS RODA repository is open source and RODA 5 contains a feature (sponsored by the Portuguese National Archives) which allows it to create a network of digital preservation repositories under the control of a central RODA repository. The central repository has access to metadata but not data, meaning that smaller institutions can delegate digital preservation planning to preservation experts in central institutions. All of this is accomplished using E-ARK specifications. The Portuguese National Archives are currently piloting this feature, which is available for anyone to create their own networks.

The webinar will be presented in two parts:

  • A theoretical overview which will explain the distributed digital preservation vision, including the architecture, formats and processes.
  • A practical demonstration of the processes

The second webinar of the training season will take place on Thursday 18 May 2023, 10.00 - 12.00 CEST and will be hosted by Luís Faria and Miguel Guimarães (KEEP SOLUTIONS).

Practical information about the webinar will be provided once the participant is registered.
