Abstract

The INFORM Risk Assessment Methodology Project, one of four UIUC-based NDIIPP projects focusing on the development of digital preservation tools, is addressing the uncertainty surrounding the curation of data formats by building a collaborative environment for assessing data format risk. (NDIIPP stands for “National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program,” funded by the Library of Congress.)
