The concepts required for preservation are explored within the NARA TPAP testbed and tested on selected NARA digital holdings. The TPAP testbed implements a policy-based preservation environment based on the iRODS integrated Rule-Oriented Data System. All aspects of the preservation environment are explored, including development of preservation policies, migration to new technology, automation of administrative functions, and validation of assessment criteria.
