For platforms and publishers working with a preservation service, preservation workflows will be designed based on the sample publications provided. If these are not representative of the full range of functionality that the publishing platform supports, then the preservation workflow developed may miss things that the publisher wants to preserve. Keep a record of the scope of variations that might be found in a publication. As formatting rules for a publication change, expand, or new file formats or arrangements can be expected, inform your preservation service so that they can adapt their workflows accordingly and avoid missing important features.
For more about changes that should be communicated to a preservation service:
- 4 - Document any changes to the default functionality of a platform
- 5 - Establish and document basic formatting rules
- 10 - Define and document the core intellectual components of a work
- 70 - Consider systematically tagging material that should be excluded from preservation
- 71 - Document and share the platform-level approach to preserving components of a publication
