Database preservation

Database preservation

Database preservation usually involves converting the information stored in a database, without losing the characteristics (Context, Content, Structure, Appearance and Behaviour) of the data, to a format which can be used in the long term, even if the technology and daily life knowledge changes.

Database preservation projects

In the past different research groups have been contributing to the solutions of the problems of database preservation. Research projects carried out in the past in this regard include:

  1. Software independent archival of relational databases (SIARD)[1]
  2. Repository of Authentic Digital Objects (RODA)[2]
  3. Digital Preservation Testbed [3]
  4. Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (LOCKSS)[4]
