Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced the beta release of version 2.0 of the Ex Libris Rosetta digital preservation system. Currently undergoing beta testing at the National Library of New Zealand, version 2.0 will be rolled out to Rosetta customers in spring 2010.
The Ex Libris Rosetta digital preservation system enables institutions to manage, preserve and provide access to documents for perpetuity — institutional documents, research output in digital formats, digital images, Web sites, and other digitally born and digitised materials. Rosetta supports the acquisition, validation, ingest, storage, preservation and dissemination of digital objects from many sources and formats and keeps this information secure while allowing institutions to implement multiple digital preservation policies and strategies.
Version 2.0 introduces a first of its kind preservation planning module. Complying with the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) standard, the module enables institutions to manage and mitigate risks related to digital formats and to perform a variety of preservation actions. With version 2.0, Rosetta institutions can share information about risks and formats on a network level. Other highlights of the new product version include object deletion; restoring objects from permanent storage; and access rights exceptions.
