The workshop was organized by NFDI working group Long Term Archival and Access. The slide deck contains exemplary cases of data loss, defines digital preservation (with references to various digital preservation initatives), introduces the "Object Levels of Preservation" model, relevant metadata standards, preservation policies and certification in the context of digital preservation.
