Abstract:
Digital preservation aims at maintaining digital objects and
data accessible over long periods of time. We propose the use of dedicated
or surplus storage resources of data grids to build frameworks of digital
preservation. In this paper we focus on the problem of digital preservation
in two scenarios: a national digital library and a repository of scientific
information for dam safety. We detail the scenario of dam safety data
and provide an analysis of an existing data grid solution that can be used
for this purpose.
