Emulation for Digital Preservation in Practice:the Results
In recent years,opinions have varied on which digital preservation strategy to follow.Although the digital preservation community has now embraced the idea of applying both emulation as well as migration in their strategies,emulation is still looked upon with skepticism due to its technical complexity and initial costs.As early as in 2004,the Koninklijke Bibliotheek-National Library of the Netherlands(KB)-and National Archive of the Netherlands acknowledged the need for emulation,especially for rendering complex digital objects in the future without affecting their authenticity and integrity.For these reasons,a project Was started to investigate the feasibility of emulation by developing and testing an emulator designed for digital preservation purposes.In July 2007 this project ended and delivered a durable x86 component based computer emulator:Dioscufi,the emulator for digital preservation.
