The OPF is hosting its second hackathon at the University at Cologne.

Topics include:

  • Results evaluation framework (REF)
  • PLATO demo
  • Format identification tools training
  • Database archiving requirements
  • Emulation demo
OPF Hackathons are events where content owners and practitioners from Archives and Libraries can put forward their practical digital preservation challenges of today. In parallel developers will hack around these challenges and OPF facilitates the community building of a digital preservation practitioner and developers community jointly working on solutions that can be applied into todays workflow.
