Abstract
Preservation environments are designed to maintain attributes about records needed for authenticity, integrity, and chain of custody. Attributes are also needed for making assertions about trustworthiness of the preservation environment itself. The iRODS (integrated Rule Oriented Data System) automates the enforcement of management policies across distributed data that have been organized into a shared collection. The properties supported by iRODS provide a good match to the attributes needed for a preservation environment.
