/.
Bitstream Copying
or backing up
data, where you
make a duplicate
of the digital object.
Preservation Metadata
describes the
software, hardware and
requirements of the
digital object to use in
preserving the object.
Encapsulation as
part of an emulation
strategy, where objects
and
metadata are grouped
together to help decode
and render object later.
Emulation process of
reproducing software and
hardware
environments to translate
code from one computing
environment to run
on another.
Preservation
strategies
Standards relies
on recognized, longterm standards over
proprietary formats.
Durable, Persistent
Media where you
preserve the
physical media,
or CD, on which the
object is stored.
Technology emulation
Preserving the original bit-streams and application
software; running this on emulator programs that
mimic the behaviour of obsolete hardware
Emulators change over time
Chaining, rehosting
Emulation Virtual Machines
Running emulators on simplified 'virtual machines'
that can be run on a range of different platforms
Virtual machines are migrated so the original bitstreams do not have to be

Technology obsolescence
Absence of established standards,
protocols, and proven methods for
preserving digital information
