Decision Tree for Selection of Digital Materials for Long-term Retention

A Decision Tree for Selection of Digital Materials for Long-term Retention has been added to the Digital Preservation Coalition's website.

This is a valuable tool which will assist in defining a selection policy for the digital materials in your organisation. The structure of the tree is based on a series of questions which will help you evaluate your digital content according to key organisational issues such as Rights and Responsibilities, Technical infrastructure, Costs and Metadata.
