Long-term appears to be somewhere between 10 to 100 years ....
*latest addition to the #zenodo #digipres community*
is #EOSCEDEN "D1.1 Overview of Identification, Selection & Appraisal Practices for Long-Term Preservation of Data" which is the report to that survey which so many of you responded to in May/June 2025. If you want to read how your practices compare to other organisations / organisation types, check it out here:

✨Bringing light to #YourCPP ✨
Today is about YOUR core preservation process.
Did you know you can engage w #CPPs by providing your documentation & sharing experience?
Share feedback or participate in discussions on GitHub https://tiny.cc/CPP-Git
Not sure this is for you?
Yes, digipres can feel overwhelming. But your experience, questions & doubts move the field forward.
By learning & moving forward, you become the digital preservationist you want to be. Don’t forget that you matter!
#EOSCEDEN
✨Bringing light to #LifeCycleManagement ✨
Digital preservation is like a journey.
From ingest to versioning, or even batch export and disposal, every stage builds on the last.
👉CPP-029, CPP-021, CPP-006, and CPP-018 help you manage data throughout its lifecycle: tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #Access & #Discovery ✨
Preservation only is meaningful if data is findable, accessible and reusable.
CPP-024 enables discovery, CPP-025 is responsible for enabling access, and CPP-028 creates derivatives for reuse.
👉 Explore them here: http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
#EOSCEDEN #CPPs
✨Bringing light to #RightsManagement ✨
Today’s spotlight is on managing rights for Information Objects, covering both internal preservation actions and end-user access and reuse.
CPP-020 is your guide to manage legal, policy, and ethical constraints.
👉 http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
#EOSCEDEN #CPPs
✨Bringing light to #QualityManagement ✨
Your data is special and deserves special treatment.
CPP-019 shows how to assess data quality from authenticity to completeness, validity & more.
👏 Explore how to evaluate & re-evaluate the quality of Information Objects: http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
#EOSCEDEN #CPPs
✨Bringing light to #RiskManagement ✨
Unsure about the future? Handle uncertainty with risk management!
CPP-023 is your guide to monitor technology, identify risks, and define detection methods.
CPP-012 helps develop and manage your risk mitigation plans.
👉 tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #CommunityWatch ✨
We preserve data not for its own sake, but for the people we serve.
CPP-018 helps track your Designated Community; trends in #Formats, #Metadata, and #Software; and your professional communities: tiny.cc/cpp-desc
🤝Stay aware, stay relevant!
✨Bringing light to #PreservationStrategies ✨
Preservation choices aren’t easy but they’re the first step to keep data alive.
You're unsure how to migrate files, normalise formats, or emulate old environments?
👉 Learn more from our CPP-014, CPP-026, CPP-015: http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #SignificantProperties ✨
Defining the essence of your digital objects is crucial to serve the needs of your users.
👉 Explore CPP-022 to learn more about the concept of significant properties and how to apply it in your workflows: http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #Metadata ✨
Data about data is the lifeline of every TDA and our CPPs.
You want to manage information in a textual, structured, and machine-actionable way?
Learn more about #MetadataManagement in our CPP-005, CPP-009, CPP-013, and CPP-016: http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #FileFormats ✨
Tough on the outside with food for thought inside!
File formats reveal a lot about the different meanings of an object.
CPP-008 and CPP-010 help you uncover them through #FileFormatIdentification and #FileFormatValidation:
http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #StorageManagement ✨
Things can go wrong, but you’re not alone! CPP-011 and CPP-030 help you stay prepared.
Explore CPP-011 to learn how to manage spare copies. CPP-030 guides you in protecting storage media from decay and failure: http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #SafeguardingDataHealth ✨
Digital preservation is stingy: Bits can rot, humans are humans.
Explore CPP-007 to learn how #VirusScanning shields you from malice.
CPP-004 and CPP-027 are your safety net for managing #DataCorruption and #FileRepair: http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #IntegrityChecking ✨
Preservation is a continuous responsibility. Recalculating and comparing checksums helps you detect bit rot, verify that files remain unchanged, and maintain an audit trail.
Learn more about #IntegrityChecks in CPP-003: http://tiny.cc/cpp-desc
✨Bringing light to #Checksums ✨
Checksums are like fingerprints. If a file changes, its checksum changes too. Checksums help you spot unwanted changes to your data.
Explore CPP-001 and CPP-002 to learn how to generate, record and validate checksums:

✨Bringing light to digipres:A winter calendar by EOSC EDEN ✨
As winter darkens the days in the North.Hemisphere, we’re launching EOSC EDEN Winter Calendar to brighten your season&strengthen digipres practices! Our Core Preservation Processes(CPPs) are a set of essential actions that digital archives follow to keep data reusable over time.Over the next 17 days, we’ll highlight key digipres challenges & show how CPPs can help tackle them.
Si vous vous intéressez à la préservation des données de la recherche, les projets européens #EOSCEDEN et Fidelis organisent une demi-journée de présentation de ses actions mercredi prochain à Paris.
https://eden-fidelis.eu/events/1st-eden-fidelis-bootcamp
J'y présenterai notre travail sur les Core Preservation Processes.
Ouvert à toustes - mais en anglais !
A blog post from Matthew Addis, CTO of Arkivum, who is a member of our #EOSCEDEN working group, and reflects on our work on Core Preservation Processes:

Glad to be part of that great team of #digipres practitioners and experts!
