- Institutional repositories are more and more intended to be dynamic platforms that not only expose the outcome of scientific research, but also reflect the entire lifecycle of such production, and spin a complex web between the various content types. The challenge of long-term preservation becomes bigger, as it needs to take into consideration the moving target that this dynamic structure and lifecycle represent. At ETH Zurich, our DSpace based repository Research Collection is one typical example of such modern and complex repositories. It contains content that is unique to our institution, such as research data, doctoral theses or technical reports. Without a preservation system, all that research output wouldn't be secured for the long term. We therefore decided to integrate the Research Collection with our existing long-term preservation tool, Rosetta (branded as "ETH Data Archive"). Such an integration was for us a good way to ensure safeguard of our unique content, while not imposing on our users the burden of having to worry about long-term preservation themselves (e.g. they don't have to submit twice, and only have to work with a publication platform that has been designed to focus on their end-user needs). The poster illustrates the integrated workflow.
