== Description ==
<!-- Describe the what the tool does, focusing on it's digital preservation value. Keep it factual. -->

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.
