CEF eArchiving: "RODA – an end-to-end solution for digital preservation" slides, recording, Q&A published
On 25 June 2020, the European Commission organised a live Webinar, followed by an interactive Q&A session, to introduce an end to end solution for digital preservation.
In the fifth of the CEF eArchiving Building Block’s training webinars, Hélder Silva introduced RODA – an end-to-end solution for digital preservation. This webinar allowed participants to:
- Learn about what software is available and its relationship with OAIS/eArchiving;
- Discover the purpose of each piece of software and how it works;
- Find out where detailed information about the software can be found, and where it can be downloaded; and
- Become acquainted with different use cases and understand how RODA can help institutions deal with them.
The CEF eArchiving Building Block provides specifications, reference software, training and service desk support for digital archiving, including digital preservation. In order to help users benefit from the features of the Building Block, CEF is running a series of training Webinars that will cover its core functionality and other relevant CEF eArchiving content.
