Services

Chronopolis's preservation infrastructure, tool and software development, and management is provided by multiple organizations, creating both a robust preservation environment and a sustainable organizational model not dependant on any one group.

The Chronopolis Preservation Plan offers the following services:

  • Provide long-term preservation of a wide variety of digital content;
  • Operate a robust, grid-based storage environment for digital preservation;
  • Maintain appropriate preservation metadata relevant to all aspects of the object lifecycle;
  • Develop tools and services for digital preservation;
  • Devote resources to investigating and planning for new technologies and services;
  • Utilize and create community-based standards and systems.

Format obsolescence is not an immediate concern of the Chronopolis system. Instead, this is regarded as the responsibility of the data providers. The single, overriding commitment of the Chronopolis system is to preserve objects in such a way that they can be transmitted back to the original data providers in the exact form in which they were submitted.
