Over the years, the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has produced many guides and reports which have supported the development of digital preservation tools and standards, as well as the professional community engaged in digital preservation. As part of its program of translations the DPC has recently released the German translation of Core requirements for a digital preservation system.

"It adds development time, doing things right, but it's worth it. Our code is miles away from where it was. [The work has] really made a profound change to the way we do coding, even down to the way I write lines of code. We now understand the complexity involved in making things run smoothly – it's really been a very good learning experience"
