SOAPI
Service-Oriented Architecture for Preservation and Ingest of digital objects

Description | Project Details and Contacts| Documents  


Description

The project will develop an architecture and toolkit for (partially) automating preservation and ingest workflows in digital repositories, based on a set of atomic web services, each encapsulating a unit of preservation functionality, combined with web-based forms when human input is required. A workflow orchestration tool will be used to combine these services and user input functions, creating workflows that minimise the need for human intervention.

The main objectives are:

  • to develop a production quality toolkit, based on this flexible and extensible architecture, that will allow repository managers to construct preservation workflows.
  • to supplement this work with more speculative research, investigating the use of semantic annotation of web services to allow preservation services to be dynamically discovered and executed at run-time
