University of Notre Dame

The University of Notre Dame will develop open source tools for data and software preservation, in partnership with a variety of academic institutions and other stakeholders. Development will focus on the services and features identified as priorities during the IMLS-funded PresQT planning project, including preservation quality, fixity, and keyword assignment. Partner organizations will advise on development and conduct interoperability testing. The tools and services developed in this project will provide for improved reuse of preserved data and software in library repository systems, and make research data more discoverable, as well as more interoperable with science gateways.
