<p><span lang="DE">The primary objective of this guideline is to assist organisations in facilitating seamless integration between the theories behind preservation planning and its practical implementation. </span></p>
<p><span lang="DE">Conducting a risk assessment is an integral component of the overarching &ldquo;Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards&rdquo; function. These efforts are linked with the functions &ldquo;Preservation Watch&rdquo;, &ldquo;Monitor Technology&rdquo; and &ldquo;Monitor Designated Community&rdquo;. This guideline shows a practical implementation we have coined 'Preservation Monitoring'.</span></p>
<p><span lang="DE">Within the context of this guideline, &ldquo;Preservation Monitoring&rdquo; is an evaluation method built to oversee and register changes in your operating environment and make an initial assessment of the severity and mitigation actions. This effort will then advise further &ldquo;Preservation Planning&rdquo; to address and mitigate the changes.&nbsp;</span></p>
