Management and preservation of research data with iRODS

Published:09 November 2007Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents first steps towards implementing a data layer to support a semi-automated preservation management system for research data in the arts and humanities. We suggest to use e-Science technology and grid middleware to implement a virtualised storage system for research data. We will outline how iRODS (Rule-Oriented Data management System)can be used within an architecture to implement complex,automated,scalable digital preservation strategies.
