Discussion of Scope & Objectives for the Hydra Digital Preservation Interest Group
What to report on the next Hydra connect meeting?
Proposal: A brief answer to the questions listed on the main page of the Hydra Digital Preservation Interest Group
Example answer to the question "Does the Hydra architecture, and push towards gemification, offer the potential to plug in OPF or other preservation tools and utilities as standard, modular components?" : Yes it is possible to add potential plug in preservation tools from other communities. FITS has been implemented in a Gem. KBDK is in progress of adding theOPF tool Flint.
The discussion on this skype call of the Scope & Objectives questions for the Hydra Digital Preservation Interest Group was based on the draft from Christen. See attached pdf .
The questions and suggested answers gave a constructive discussion about Digital Preservation in relation to Hydra.
There were no major differences in the answers but all would like to add comments, answers, etc. to the draft for further discussions in the coming skype call.
Also important to get input from the Hydra community
Conclusion:
Christen will create a wiki page for further discussion on the coming Skype call of the Scope & Objectives for the Hydra Digital Preservation Interest Group.
