Digital Preservation Tools, Practices, and Policies in Islandora

There exists many standards and best practices in the digital preservation community, but not many of these practices are implemented as easy to use tools in our digital repository platforms. This presentation will focus on the policy driven and community focused development of digital preservation tools and best practices in Islandora community, and on the tools created for transforming Submission Information Packages for Islandora to Archival Information Packages. Specifically, automated digital object file identification, automated checksum creation and verification, automated generation of PREMIS metadata, and the integration of BagIt allowing for the network transfer of objects in a given Islandora repository.
