Digital Preservation Of Business Processes with TIMBUS Architecture

Abstract

The majority of existing digital preservation solutions are focusing on the long-term storage of digital content such as documents, images, video, audio files and other domain specific data. Preservation of an Information Technology infrastructure for supporting business processes is a much more challenging task. It requires the preservation of software and hardware stacks as well as relevant contexts, which together, provide an execution layer for running business processes. The proposed TIMBUS architecture addresses limitations of existing digital preservation solutions and provides a complete framework for preserving business processes implemented upon a service oriented architecture.
