Each tool 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.

Contribute Your Experiences

To be useful, COPTR needs your help to update existing records as tools change, or to reflect your experiences using the tools. We also need new records for any new or missing tools you think are useful and we'd love to host more digital preservation workflows so we can learn more how these tools are used in context. You can find out more about how you can get involved here.

Editing this wiki requires a user account, but due to problems with spam, you have to get in touch with us to request an account.

About COPTR

The Community Owned digital Preservation Tool Registry (COPTR) helps practitioners find tools needed for long term digital preservation tasks. It describes 622 tools and 36 workflows.

The COPTR Tools grid allows you to browse to view lists of tools that address specific content types or functions. It was inspired by the original Preserving digital Objects With Restricted Resources project (POWRR) Tools Grid and developed in partnership with the POWRR Project.

COPTR is part of Digipres Commons, is hosted by The Open Preservation Foundation (OPF), supported by the The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), and is maintained by you!
