Get Insight in the Life Cycle of File Formats in Your Repository

Activity: Talk or presentationAcademic

Description

In this workshop, you can bring your own data and process it with the tool created by the Dutch Digital Heritage Network project for Monitoring Obsolete File Formats.

The main question of the DDHN project was to predict the life cycle of file formats. To respond to this question we implemented the Bass Model used in Economics for the preservation monitoring use case. 

The software tool developed during the project will be used to show you what the life cycle is of file formats in your repository. Are there files that are becoming obsolete or not? An important question in Preservation Watch. With our tool we want to make a contribution to this field.

During the workshop we are not getting into the theory of what was created, this can be read in our iPres 2023 paper and our blog posts. After a short introduction about the project and the tool, we will get hands-on!
