Abstract

There are a number of basic preservation strategies upon which one can build more complex strategies. These are the ones which are described explicitly or implicitly by OAIS , based around ensuring that the digital object will be usable and understandable to the Designated Community . Of course one also has to maintain the trail of information to support evidence of authenticity and other PDI .

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
