Apologies for cross-posting ************************** The Chronicles in Preservation project, a collaborative effort led by the Educopia Institute, the MetaArchive Cooperative, Chronopolis, the University of North Texas, and Virginia Tech is pleased to publish the Comparative Analysis of Distributed Digital Preservation (DDP) Frameworks, available at http://metaarchive.org/neh/index.php?title=Comparative_Analysis_of_Distributed_Digital_Preservation_Frameworks . *About the Comparative Analysis* The Comparative Analysis comprises two parts: 1. A paper focused on the three DDP partners in the Chronicles project, Chronopolis, MetaArchive, and UNT Coda. The paper introduces the Comparative Analysis metrics and includes a brief discussion of each system's answers. 2. A Google Spreadsheet of the Comparative Analysis metrics for other DDP systems/providers to use and contribute to in analyzing their own workflows. The Comparative Analysis metrics cover a range of factors including ingests, subsequent ingests, data models, storage environments, monitoring, security, recovery, scalability and costs. *Chronicles in Preservation Partners* Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Chronicles in Preservation project is being led by the Educopia Institute (host for the MetaArchive Cooperative), along with Chronopolis and the libraries of University of North Texas, Virginia Tech, Penn State, University of Utah, Georgia Tech, University of Kentucky, and Boston College. -- Matt Schultz Program Manager Educopia Institute, MetaArchive Cooperative http://www.metaarchive.org @metaarchive [log in to unmask] 616-566-3204
