Abstract

Trevor Owens’ book exposes important insights into contemporary digital preservation where he discusses theoretical and practical approaches and presents these with innovative concepts and connections. This summary discusses 10 of the 16 axioms that are launched as the starting point of this book. These axioms are short, but deep in importance as the basis for the development of digital preservation programs.
