Zusammenfassung:A digital preservation system ( 10 ) for accepting a digital data record as input, for writing the data record in human-readable form onto a preservation-quality medium ( 210 ), for storage of the medium ( 210 ), and for retrieval of the data record from the medium ( 210 ). The system ( 10 ) is modular, allowing scaling of the system ( 10 ), allowing preferential selection of specific image handling components, and allowing replacement of complete subsystems while minimizing the likelihood of data loss. The digital preservation system ( 10 ) preserves a data record in human-readable form, along with an associated metadata record, allowing the human-readable preserved data record to be readable in the distant future, independent of specific reading hardware.
