Active Preservation. Where the repository takes long-term responsibility for ensuring the data and metadata are fit for the designated community’s reuse. This could include guarding against the threat of technical obsolescence, updating hardware and software environments, or migrating the archival and dissemination formats of the data and metadata.
CoreTrustSeal’s levels of curation and indonesia rcs data preservation are important because they allow an organisation to describe and document how they care for a digital object. They range from simple storage of an object which is distributed as it was deposited, to the repository taking long-term responsibility for reuse of the data and metadata, including making changes based on the needs of the repository’s designated community.

The levels themselves, however, do not specify how a specific object is being cared for, or what information and artefacts should be shared to clarify the approach to deposit compliance, initial curation and preservation. In addition to specifying any guaranteed retention periods (independent of the level of care), additional metadata could include:

criteria set for initial curation
technical factors e.g. links to technical monitoring, format criteria, emulation approaches
semantic factors e.g. links to community monitoring, semantic artefacts, ontologies, controlled vocabularies etc.
