title: DRM and digital preservation: A use case at the German National Library
creators: Stefan Hein Tobias Steinke
abstract: Digital Rights Management (DRM) is in use for many digital publications. Digital libraries with a mandate to collect and preserve publications have to deal with technical challenges for preservation of DRM restricted objects. In the European project APARSEN a systematical classification of DRM methods and its risks for digital preservation was introduced. The German National Library handles the different types of DRM protections within the ingest workflow of the archival system by analysis and case-by-case distinction.
