Trusted eArchiving Standards.

Curate was not designed to rewrite the book on Digital Preservation. It's built on the proven, trusted frameworks and technologies that Digital Archivists expect from a robust eArchiving platform. Whether it's fundamental models like OAIS, common preservation strategies, metadata schemas, reference frameworks or best-practice guidelines, Curate has it covered.
Standards In Action.
Standards, reference models and proven guidelines are at the core of any Digital Preservation system worth its salt. Curate puts many of the most ubiquitous and trusted models into action, helping your organisation achieve compliance with foundational Digital Preservation frameworks.
- OAIS
- The key to building robust, information package based archives. Curate uses a compliant end-to-end implementation of the OAIS reference model.
- TRAC
- Curate is designed from the ground up to support compliance with TRAC, and could help your archives meet the checklist simply and easily. *Check out our TRAC guide for more details about how Curate can boost your archives towards TRAC compliance
- ISO 16363
- 16363 is one of the most comprehensive standards a Digital Archive can achieve compliance to, yet many organisations find it too daunting or even unfeasible. We think all Digital Archives should be able to attain 16363 compliance, Curate makes it possible. *Check out our ISO 16363 guide to discover how simple it could be to level-up your Archives to 16363-standard.
- NDSA Levels of Preservation
- The NDSA LoP is a seminal model that offers organisations the opportunity to implement best-practice guidance without the lack of practicability that is common with more prescriptive standards. Curate can help move your archive up the LoP faster and more simply.
- Digital Preservation Coalition Rapid Assessment Model
- Implementing Curate could help your organisation achieve higher compliance on your next DPC RAM assessment.


Metadata Is Key.
Digital Preservation is an activity with many well defined, highly specific metadata schemas designed specifically to facilitate the effective protection of digital content over long periods. Curate was built from the ground-up to support many of the core concepts and technologies that are fundamental to eArchiving.
- Descriptive Metadata
- DC, ISAD(G) built-in
- Support for any standardised, or custom, schema
- PREMIS Preservation Metadata
- End-to-end PREMIS events
- Many eArchiving platforms do not record pre-ingest events, one of the most crucial stages of the object's lifecycle.
- Technical Metadata Extraction
