This deliverable from the PrestoPRIME project, describes the first integrated prototype of an open Preservation Platform. The implemented prototype is based on the reference architecture defined in deliverable D5.2.1 and implements an OAIS-compliant preservation system integrating several tools and services provided by project partners. The prototype is fully compliant to the final AV data model specification described in D2.1.3. Several tools and technologies were used for the prototype development, with particular focus on actively supported open source technologies. The report describes the implementation of three components: core modules (OAIS compliant), a REST web server and a user interface; and the tools and services provided by project partners. After providing some background context on the architecture and data model it goes on to briefly report on the main features of the core modules, the external tools that have been integrated and those which will be considered for a possible integration in the next year. It then provides information about the software delivery and installation and closes with future developments in 2012.
This report provides an important update on the development of a component based preservation platform built specifically for audiovisual digital objects. Of particular interest is the description of the various tool implementations (to aid preservation planning) and how the first test-bed feedback (Nov 2011) informs future development. It is written for technical specialists and can be of interest to system architects as well as those seeking information on modular preservation planning tools specifically geared to audiovisual collections.
