Abstract
A method for digitally preserving an electronic record includes defining a preservation and service plan for the electronic record in a model, the preservation and service plan including access requirements and authenticity requirements for a digital adaptation of the electronic record, and characteristics of the electronic record to be preserved in the digital adaptation of the electronic record, the model assigning a numeric value to each requirement and characteristic and to the relative importance of each requirement and characteristic; for each data type included in the electronic record, assigning a capability score to each digital adaptation processor that supports the data type, the capability score being indicative of the ability of the digital adaptation processor to meet the access and authenticity requirements and preserve the characteristics as valued in the model; and comparing the capability scores to determine the digital adaptation processor that most closely matches the model. An electronic record archive includes a preservation and service plan management package; a digital adaptation package; and a preservation processing package.
