title: Act Now, Late or Never: Make Digital Objects (more) archivable early in their life cycle?
creators: Katharina Markus Yvonne Tunnat
abstract: Newly acquired or published objects might be corrupt or might not conform to the archive’s best practices. In some cases the library or archive even has to ask the data provider for replacements. The advantage of a pre-archival workflow to detect or prevent problems early in institutional data processing is depicted in this paper.
