creators: Daniel Draws Frank Simon Daniel Simon Sven Euteneuer
abstract: In today’s literature digital preservation and its concepts are usually connoted with long term views on the lifecycle of IT systems and software. In addition to that long term view we believe that concepts available for digital preservation are also useful in short term views where the life span of systems and software is limited to a significantly shorter timeline. In this paper we discuss three different real-world use cases that benefit from DP concepts on a short term basis.
