PRESERVATION PLANNING: A COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO IMPLEMENTATIONS.

Abstract

This paper examines preservation planning as it is implemented within the National Library’s preservation repository (Rosetta) and compares it directly to the PLATO tool created as part of the PLANETS project. Preservation planning is both a business precondition and the systematic framework defining any preservation action. At the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa, preservation planning is embedded within the Rosetta system. For the Library, the challenge can be stated simply: preserve New Zealand’s digital documentary heritage. With no limitations or control over the format of the content that is collected and preserved, The National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa (NLNZ) has ‘issues’ to resolve before the long-term preservation of digital collections can be assured. Solving these and other problems is the responsibility of the National Digital Heritage Archive and a significant step has been taken through the development of the Rosetta preservation repository system in conjunction with Ex Libris Group.1
