View source for Software, projects, standards, services and products for data preservation and archives.

==Standards==
* BagIt: a hierarchical file packaging format designed to support disk-based storage and network transfer of arbitrary digital content. Implemantation of the Format are avaialble in Perl, Java Python and other languages. See the specification here: [https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kunze-bagit-10]
* PREMIS: The PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata is the international standard for metadata to support the preservation of digital objects and ensure their long-term usability.

==Software==
* List of free and open source software by OAD: http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Free_and_open-source_repository_software

Not included are the following packets:
* ToMaR: a framework that provides a simple and flexible solution to run preservation tools on a Hadoop MapReduce cluster in a scalable fashion. [http://openplanets.github.io/ToMaR/]. ToMaR was developed within the EU SCAPE project [http://www.scape-project.eu/]
* Dataverse [http://thedata.org/]: A web application for Publishing, Citing, Analysing and Preserving Scientific data.

==Projects==
* SCAPE: The SCAPE project developes scalable services for preservation strategies on an open source platform for semi-automated workflows for large-scale complex digital objects [http://www.scape-project.eu/].
* DuraSPACE: a collection ot tools used in LTDS [https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa].

==Commercial Products and Offerings==
Preservica [http://preservica.com/]: software for archival and preservation. They can implement distributed storage using different storage backends. Standard protocols: OAI-PMH, CMIS, metadata and content via rest acessible. They say they can run (proven) at 500 MB/s (40 TB per day!!)

Rosetta [http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/category/RosettaOverview]: A software product from the ExLibris company for archival and preservation. They have a public set of APIs in their developer network. They use a storage adaptor to allow different storage systems to integrate with Rosetta. 

Arkivum [http://arkivum.com/]: Offers validated and secure archive storage with 100% !! reliability (backed by insurance). JISC uses Arkivum as archive provider for their national offering: https://www.jisc.ac.uk/data-archiving-framework

==Misc==
* DuraSpace Projects like Fedora Commons have recognised the typicalities of asynchronous access storage. An approach to have asynchronous acces from REST is described [https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FF/Design+-+Asynchronous+REST+API] and the current roadmap of Fedora Commons that has asynchronous access to storage on the roadmap [https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FF/Roadmap].
