Adrian Brown, The National Archives (UK) will present the preservation characterisation work done in Planets at the JISC/BL/DPC workshop "What to preserve? Significant Properties of Digital Objects". The goal of the workshop is "to bring together the relevant projects and report on progress to date. It is also hoped that the workshop will lead to collective recommendations for future areas of research and development. The workshop should in addition further our understanding of and provide insight into a number of specific types of digital objects, including documents, images, software, scientific data, government records and e-learning objects."
