Community Owned Workflows (COW) provides a forum for sharing your digital preservation workflows with others in the digipres community. We can learn a lot from each other by sharing our workflows, discussing what tools are used and why, understanding the context behind our workflows, and what challenges and issues they have addressed. So please explore this site, and consider sharing your own workflow!

===About COW===

[[File:Cow.png|right|COW logo]]

A recurring request from digital preservation practitioners has been for a community forum in which they can share and exchange experience on how they use tools in combination - in short - pool their knowledge about digital preservation workflows. This was discussed by one of the groups at the [http://www.ipres2016.ch/frontend/index.php?page_id=2833#WS4 iPRES 2016 workshop: "OSS4Pres 2.0: Building Bridges and Filling Gaps"]. With some uncertainty over the best way to share our workflows, we thought we would try things out with a lightweight wiki based approach. This will allow us to experiment with the process and what we want to get out of it, before considering the need for a more comprehensive solution.
