Description (en)
This paper examines preservation planning as it is
implemented within the National Library’s preservation
repository (Rosetta) and compares it directly to the
PLATO tool created as part of the PLANETS project.
Preservation planning is both a business precondition
and the systematic framework defining any preservation
action. At the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna
Mātauranga o Aotearoa, preservation planning is
embedded within the Rosetta system.
For the Library, the challenge can be stated simply:
preserve New Zealand’s digital documentary heritage.
With no limitations or control over the format of the
content that is collected and preserved, The National
Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o
Aotearoa (NLNZ) has ‘issues’ to resolve before the
long-term preservation of digital collections can be
assured. Solving these and other problems is the
responsibility of the National Digital Heritage Archive
and a significant step has been taken through the
development of the Rosetta preservation repository
system in conjunction with Ex Libris Group.1
