title: Appraisal and Selection on a Long-term Preservation Repository? Can you repeat that, please?
creators: Luís Faria Miguel Guimarães Miguel Ferreira
abstract: In this article we describe the way MoReq 2010 has been used to guide the development of appraisal and selection workflows in an open-source long-term digital repository system. Even though the destruction of records is an irreversible process that is deem contrary to the mission of a long-term digital preservation repository, we argue that there are enough real-world use case scenarios that justify the need to bring these features to digital repositories as well further demystifying the idea that digital archives are places where records come to die, and instead reinforce the notion that these can used as vessels to revitalize information and support operational systems in the day-to-day business operations.
