Digital Preservation Capability Maturity Model (DPCMM)

Description
The DPCMM "organizes the digital preservation requirements of the ISO Standards into fifteen components with metrics to assess maturity. The model is a tool for charting the evolution from disorganized and undisciplined management of electronic records, or the lack of a systematic digital continuity approach, into increasingly mature stages of digital preservation capability."

Based closely on the OAIS Reference Model, DPCMM is a useful tool for preservation planning and capability assessment for those looking for a holistic overview of their digital preservation activities. An assessment against the model can help with identifying gaps and priorities for development. It may also be used as a tool for those preparing for an ISO 16363 audit.
