Editing About COPTR

COPTR is a wiki based registry of digital preservation tools. It's main aim is to help practitioners discover preservation tools that will help them tackle particular preservation challenges. It can be browsed and searched directly by practitioners, or queried by other systems via an API.

Each tool in COPTR is categorised by the [[Lifecycle Stages|Lifecycle Stage]] it falls within, the (sub) [[Tool Functions|Function]] it performs and by the [[Content Types|Content Type]] that it operates on. For example, [[EpubCheck]] performs the Function [[Validation]] and operates on [[EBook]] Content. COPTR can help by enabling you to browse to tools that meet a particular need - perhaps relating to a specific [[Content Types|Content Type]] or [[Tool Functions|Function]].

COPTR also holds digital preservation workflows.
