The Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA) have announced that their
DAITSS [external] preservation repository application is now available under
the GPL license. DAITSS implements the preservation strategies of normalization
and forward migration for about 10 currently-supported formats, including JFIF
(JPEG), JEG2000, TIFF, WAVE, XML, Quicktime, AVI and PDF, and was designed
to conform closely to the OAIS reference model. DAITSS does not have a public
user interface but could be used as a preservation back end to other applications
such as institutional repository or digital library systems.
