Archiving and preservation for research environments

Consortium 3

Home > Consortium 3

The solution developed by the consortium lead by LIBNOVA provides a Research, Management and Preservation Platform combining existing technologies and new components, to solve obstacles for research dataset management (including preservation) identified in the Archiver project. LIBNOVA was already creating its research data preservation platform (LIBSAFE Research), that this project will help improving and completing.

Four areas comprise the Solution Architecture:
● Containers - keep content accessible with several protocols, organized and protected.
● Dynamic Insights - help users when dealing with personal information, digital preservation and emissions reduction.
● Budget assistant - helps users to plan and follow expenditures.
● Content gateway - connects the platform with discovery solutions such as Invenio or Dataverse

LABDRIVE is a Research Data Management and Digital Preservation platform that focuses on scientific datasets. LABDRIVE allows organizations to transition from a siloed approach in which each series of datasets, departments or units are using multiple, disaggregated systems to keep content to a single repository that can adapt to the particularities of each dataset, unifying all content in a single platform.
