Abstract

The Planets project is driven by requirements for the long-term preservation faced by institutional libraries and archives. The project develops an integrated environment that allows archivists to seamlessly utilize and evaluate tools and strategies for the preservation of cultural heritage data. The Planets Interoperability Framework (IF) supports this vision by providing the technical backbone for integrating existing content repositories, preservation tools, and services into a service-oriented research infrastructure. It implements a number of common software components for user authentication, data access, or service orchestration. Moreover, it defines the interfaces and communication protocols for preservation services like identification, characterization, migration or rendering. It thereby assures the interoperability of the various heterogeneous preservation tools and applications in order to establish a coherent and extensible preservation system. In this paper, we present the service architecture as well as the runtime environment and its application.
