ACE (Auditing Control Environment) is a system that incorporates a new methodology to address the integrity of long term archives using rigorous cryptographic techniques. ACE continuously audits the contents of the various objects according to the policy set by the archive, and provides mechanisms for an independent third-party auditor to certify the integrity of any object.

DROID (Digital Record Object Identification) is an automatic file format identification tool. It is the first in a planned series of tools developed by The National Archives under the umbrella of its PRONOM technical registry service.
wiki. UC Curation Center (UC3) is a creative partnership bringing together the expertise and resources of the University of California. Together we provide high quality and cost-effective solutions that enable campus constituencies — museums, libraries, archives, academic departments, research units, and individual researchers — to have direct control over the management, curation, and preservation of the information resources underpinning their scholarly activities.
The METS schema is a standard for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library, expressed using the XML schema language of the World Wide Web Consortium.
United Kingdom. Guidance organization providing training and practical expertise related to data curation. They offer an introduction to digital curation and resources.
Global. Consortial group advocating international collaboration in preserving content on the Internet. Offers open source software tools for web archiving. The mission of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) is to acquire, preserve and make accessible knowledge and information from the Internet for future generations everywhere, promoting global exchange and international relations.
National library applying cutting edge digital preservation research to its collections. Accepts and preserves electronic documents through its e-Depot system.
The Database Preservation Toolkit allows conversion between Database formats, including connection to live systems, for purposes of digitally preserving databases. The toolkit allows conversion of live or backed-up databases into preservation formats such as DBML or SIARD, XML-based formats created for the purpose of database preservation. The toolkit also allows conversion of the preservation formats back into live systems to allow the full functionality of databases. For example, it supports a specialized export into MySQL, optimized for PhpMyAdmin, so the database can be fully experimented using a web interface.
SCAPE is devoted to enhancing the state-of-the-art of long-term digital preservation by developing an infrastructure and tools for scalable preservation actions (the SCAPE Platform and Components), and a framework for automated, quality assured preservation workflows. Additionally, these components will be integrated with a policy-based Pr
Project Detail - Digital Preservation (Library of Congress). The GeoMAPP project is exploring ways to expand the capabilities of state governments to provide long-term access to geospatial data. The project is bringing together geospatial and archival staff in multiple states to identify, preserve, and make available temporal and superseded digital geospatial data with ongoing value. A key approach will include testing a geographically dispersed content-exchange network for the replication of state and local geospatial data among several states to promote preservation and access.
The SHAMAN project develops and tests a next generation, long term digital preservation framework including systems and tools for analysing, ingesting, managing, accessing and reusing information objects and data across libraries and archives. It comprises the definition of the SHAMAN Theory of Preservation integrating the analysis, ingestion, management, access to and reuse of information objects across distributed repositories. The data preservation capabilities offered secure the authenticity and integrity of data objects through time.
