abstract: This workshop introduces the work of the National and State Libraries funded work on a Digital Preservation Technical Registry. In particular it will allow participants to gain an understanding of the new model for modelling formats. They will be tasked with working through exercises designed not only to give participants an understanding of the model, but to test and critique it.
