abstract: Digital preservation of (business) processes is an emerging topic in Digital Preservation research. Information technology driven processes are complex digital objects, living in an broad context of aspects relevant to their preservation. In this poster, we detail the broad environment of one sample process from the domain of E-Science, a genre classification experiment in the domain of Music Information Retrieval. We show the magnitude of aspects involved, on technology as well as organisational, legal and other aspects.
