Scaled and automated preservation planning for highly diverse digital collections: the Integrated Preservation Suite.
Maureen E Pennock Peter May
<p>This poster describes the Integrated Preservation&nbsp;Suite (IPS) project. IPS is a British Library initiative to develop and populate an&nbsp;infrastructure capable of supporting&nbsp;preservation planning of highly diverse digital collections at scale.&nbsp;&nbsp;IPS is comprised of the following conceptual components:</p>

<ul>
	<li>A Representation Information Registry with information about formats and wider technical environments relevant to the Library&rsquo;s digital collections;</li>
	<li>A Preservation Software Repository containing requisite current and legacy software for implementing preservation plans and rendering files;</li>
	<li>An actionable Policy &amp; Planning Repository of collection-specific data including collection profiles, preservation policies, and collection-specific preservation plans.</li>
</ul>

<p>These are accessed by a Preservation Workbench that interfaces between the components and the repository solution, accompanied by an Execution Platform upon which to test and execute actions, and a Preservation Watch function to trigger generation of a preservation plan within the Workbench interface for a known and imminently manifesting risk.</p>
