With SIARD (Software Independent Archiving of Relational Databases), the Swiss Federal Archives (SFA) provides a sustainable solution for the long-term preservation of relational databases. This includes an open format for archiving of relational databases as well as a software package - "SIARD Suite" - for converting relational databases into the SIARD format. SIARD Suite is based on international standards such as XML, SQL:1999 and UNICODE. At present the application supports the following databases: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server und Microsoft Access. The Swiss Federal Archives distributes the SIARD Suite free of charge, according to the license agreement. database preservation. preservation of databases.
The Archivematica project is integrating a number of open source tools and applications to create a comprehensive digital archives system that is compliant with the ISO-OAIS standard and is able to implement media type preservation plans based on an analysis of significant properties. Archivematica is a comprehensive digital preservation system. Archivematica uses a micro-services design pattern to provide an integrated suite of free and open-source tools that allows users to process digital objects from ingest to access in compliance with the ISO-OAIS functional model. Users monitor and control the micro-services via a web-based dashboard. Archivematica uses METS, PREMIS, Dublin Core and other best practice metadata standards. Archivematica implements media type preservation plans based on an analysis of the significant characteristics of file formats.

free and open source software developed by the National Archives of Australia. The DPSP is a collection of software applications which support the goal of digital preservation. Xena stands for XML Electronic Normalising for Archives. Xena converts digital files to standards based, open formats. Digital Preservation Recorder (DPR) - DPR handles bulk preservation of digital files via an automated workflow. Checksum Checker is a piece of software that is used to monitor the contents of a digital archive for data loss or corruption. Manifest Maker produces a tab-separated list of digital files in a specified location. The manifest includes the checksum, path and filename of each digital file.
JSTOR/Harvard Object Validation Environment 2 (JHOVE2). With funding from the Library of Congress under its National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP), the California Digital Library, Portico, and Stanford University are collaborating on a two year project to develop and deploy a next-generation architecture providing enhanced performance, streamlined APIs, and significant new features. The JHOVE2 project generalizes the concept of format characterization to include identification, validation, feature extraction, and policy-based assessment. The target of this characterization is not a simple digital file, but a (potentially) complex digital object that may be instantiated in multiple files.
DAITSS is digital preservation software application developed by the Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA). DAITSS is used by the Florida Digital Archive (FDA), a long-term preservation repository service provided by FCLA for the use of the libraries of the eleven publicly-funded universities in Florida. DAITSS provides automated support for the functions of Submission, Ingest, Archival Storage, Access, Withdrawal, and Repository Management. It is architected as a set of RESTful Web Services and micro-services but enforces strict controls to ensure the integrity and authenticity of archived content. It implements active preservation strategies based on format-specific processing including, where necessary, normalization and forward migration. It is particularly well suited for materials in text, document, image, audio and video formats.
