Summary

Introduction

Planets (Preservation and Long-term Access through NETworked Services)[1], is a four-year research and technology development project that commenced in June 2006. The testbed provides a controlled environment that enables researchers and practitioners to conduct experiments and gather data on a scientific basis This data can be used during preservation planning to select the most appropriate actions and characterisation methods. 3. In an emulation scenario, the Planets software packages an emulator along with the required software so that the delivery component is able to provide consumers with an environment which enables interaction with the content. A rich image conversion utility could be wrapped to provide a local Planets service that could be used in a wide range of preservation work flows This requires them to use the wrapper framework. A repository vendor might ‘preservation enable’ its product by integrating it into the Planets preservation framework This requires them to build various hooks into the application’s existing work flows. They will lead to public releases that members of the wider digital preservation community will be able to use
