The event featured speakers from a number of digital preservation efforts, including the Echo-DEPository Project, DataPASS and LOCKSS.
A highlight of the meeting was a presentation by Sarah Higgins of the Digital Curation Centre, who provided an abbreviated workshop outlining the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model. The model is intended as tool for use in conjunction with relevant standards to plan curation and preservation activities.
