Abstract

Digital preservation can be accomplished with no more than small extensions over information interchange and digital library (DL) technologies that are already widely deployed. Most of the software technology needed is already available, or soon will be, and is being standardized. This includes cryptographic tools for sealing information against surreptitious change, encoding rules for multimedia (e.g., MPEG292) and for scientific data, XML syntax for packaging digital objects, and semantic models encoded as sets of triplets.
