Not sure this is for you?

Yes, digital preservation can feel overwhelming. But your experience, questions, and doubts move the field forward.

By learning and moving forward, you become the digital preservationist you want to be. Don’t forget that you matter!

#EOSCEDEN #CPPs

✨Bringing light to #YourCPP ✨(1/2)

Today is about YOUR core preservation process.

Did you know you can engage with #CPPs as an external reviewer, by providing your documentation and sharing experience?

Share your feedback via our website or participate in discussions on GitHub (tiny.cc/CPP-Git).

✨Bringing light to #LifeCycleManagement ✨

Digital preservation is like a journey.

From ingest to versioning, or even batch export and disposal, every stage builds on the last.

👉CPP-029, CPP-021, CPP-006, and CPP-018 help you manage data throughout its lifecycle: tiny.cc/cpp-desc

#EOSCEDEN #CPPs

✨Bringing light to #Access & #Discovery ✨

Preservation only is meaningful if data is findable, accessible and reusable.

CPP-024 enables discovery, CPP-025 is responsible for enabling access, and CPP-028 creates derivatives for reuse.

👉 Explore them here: tiny.cc/cpp-desc

#EOSCEDEN #CPPs

✨Bringing light to #RightsManagement ✨

Today’s spotlight is on managing rights for Information Objects, covering both internal preservation actions and end-user access and reuse.

CPP-020 is your guide to manage legal, policy, and ethical constraints.

#EOSCEDEN #CPPs

✨Bringing light to #QualityManagement ✨

Your data is special and deserves special treatment.

CPP-019 shows how to assess data quality from authenticity to completeness, validity & more.
