Long-term preservation of digital content in the Rosetta System

Abstract

Long-term preservation is one of the crucial problems that a cultural heritage and archiving institution faces, when tasked with collecting digital objects. The goal of the article is to present a possible solution, namely, the implementation of the Rosetta System by ExLibris Group, which was designed in collaboration with the National Library of New Zealand, and successfully implemented in such institutions as the State University of New York at Binghamton, the Getty Research Institute, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, and others. The presented study provides some insight into the Rosetta System's architecture, and its support of current international standards (OAIS, METS).
