Overview
This two-day event guided delegates through the steps of the SCAPE Preservation Planning and Watch lifecycle. It began with an introduction to the importance of active management of a preservation collection through effective policy creation, monitoring of preservation risks and preservation planning as a result of risk identification, and explained the components and tools that make up the SCAPE approach.
Delegates learned about both human-readable and machine-readable policy drivers and will create policy statements and was introduced to a number of tools that have been developed or extended as part of this SCAPE project. These include the content-profiling tool, C3PO, which helps you to understand what is in your collection; Scout, a preservation watch system which can detect preservation risks and opportunities through its knowledge base and automatically notify users of new risks and opportunities; and Plato, a decision-making tool that implements a solid preservation planning process and integrates services for content characterisation, preservation action and automatic object comparison.
