PresQT Technical Project Plan

The workshops as well as the needs assessment have led to following goals for the design of a preservation quality tool:

  1. The PresQT services will not be standalone solutions but extend the preservation tool landscape in a way that stakeholders like researchers and librarians can keep working in their chosen computational environment and receive additional features instead of having to switch to a different software. PresQT services form the connection between tools, workflows and databases to existing repositories.

  2. Additional preservation features in tools, workflows and repositories should be easily integrable via standard APIs.

  3. To assure a wide uptake in the community and to lower the barrier for using the novel features, we will assure a user-centered design and collaborative development. In cooperation with stakeholders we plan interoperability testing and usability analysis.
