Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Germany, has announced that the Bavarian State Library has selected the Rosetta digital preservation system, which will preserve and provide access to the extensive and rapidly growing digital collections of the Bavarian State Library. The Ex Libris Rosetta digital preservation system enables institutions to manage, preserve, and provide access to institutional documents, research output in digital formats, digital images, Web sites, and other digitally born and digitised materials, for perpetuity.
Rosetta supports the acquisition, validation, ingest, storage, preservation and dissemination of digital objects from many sources and formats, while keeping this information secure and allowing institutions to implement multiple digital preservation policies and strategies. Built on a scalable, distributed architecture, Rosetta's sophisticated preservation processes continually track file formats and update the digital objects in the system. Based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model and conforming to trusted digital repository (TDR) requirements, Rosetta has been developed in partnership with the National Library of New Zealand.
The licensing of Rosetta by the Bavarian State Library is supported by significant special resources of the Bavarian State of Sciences, Research and the Arts. The inclusion of selected digital collections from university libraries in Bavaria is already earmarked for the first project phase. Rosetta is planned to be the long-term preservation solution for all state libraries within the library consortium in the Free State of Bavaria.
