New DPE Briefing Paper on Database Preservation

Posted on 11th March 2009

Information systems for most organizations are currently supported by databases. Preservation of these databases has to address problems including defining what is to be preserved, the creation and long-term evolution of the preserved objects, organizational support for preservation actions, and technologies that will keep the preserved objects accessibe and trustworthy. Some of the issues in database preservation have already been addressed in electronic record preservation, but others result from the specific nature of databases. See the paper by Cristina Ribeiro - Gabriel David, DEI-Faculdade de Engenharia, Universidade do Porto.
