Digital Preservation Recorder (DPR) =================================== About ----- DPR is a work flow tool and just one important part of the Digital Preservation Software Platform (DPSP). License ------- DPR is released under the General Public License version 3. A full copy of this license can be found in the About window from within DPR. Requirements ------------ DPR requires Java 1.7 to run. This can be downloaded from http://java.com. DPR depends on a PostgreSQL database to function. This can be downloaded from http://postgresql.org. This source release requires Xena to build and run. Please see INSTALL.txt for more details. Extras ------ There are also several other DPSP products which make DPR useful: ClamAV (https://sourceforge.net/projects/dpr/files/ClamAV/) - virus scanner Checksum Checker (http://checksumchecker.sourceforge.net) - ensures integrity of digital files Manifest Maker (http://manifestmaker.sourceforge.net) - creates manifest list and prepares digital transfer Xena uses the following software that is not included with DPR: LibreOffice (http://libreoffice.org) - office suite Flac (http://flac.sourceforge.net) - Free Lossless Audio Codec libpst (http://five-ten-sq.com/libpst) - linux library for working with PST files (requires conversion for use on windows) Exiftool (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/) - tool for reading and writing metadata in files Tesseract OCR (http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/) - Optical Character Recognition ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org) - bitmap image editing and transformation Support ------- Help with DPR is available online at our website (http://dpr.sourceforge.net). Please also see the DPR User Manual. Note that this manual is written from the perspective of use at the National Archives of Australia (NAA) and some details may not be relevant for users outside of the NAA. In particular the NAA records information about what is being archived for purposes of searching in a seperate system called RecordSearch (which is used for all archival resources, not just digital ones). As such DPR itself only refers to archived items by a barcode number and does not provide many other facilities for searching the archive. Note also that this manual does not detail how to setup DPR. Feedback -------- We would love to hear your feedback on DPR! Please visit our website at http://dpr.sourceforge.net for further details. Thank you!
