PresQT - Preservation Quality Tool Zheng (John) Wang, Sandra Gesing, Richard Johnson and Natalie Meyers presqt-contact-list@nd.edu 1 May 2017 Hesburgh Libraries

Motivation Hesburgh Libraries Researchers often respond reluctantly and retroactively to funder and publisher mandates for data and software sharing. Depositing data can be quite labor intensive. Metadata enhancement, provenance reconstruction, reformatting and data documentation efforts can present significant barriers to timely and complete data sharing. Curators engaged near the end of the research life cycle often receive incomplete metadata, at-risk formats, and a paucity of data documentation. Reuse and reproducibility are jeopardized.  PresQT bridges gaps between existing digital library infrastructure, repositories and software reuse. Hesburgh Libraries

Current Lifecycle of Research Projects Selection/development of tools Data assembling/creating Reports Preservation of Data Funding ends New project Work-intensive and too late in the lifecycle Hesburgh Libraries
