DCC DIFFUSE Standards Frameworks

Just to let you know, we are no longer updating this section.
This is retained as a resource but nothing new has been added since late 2009. No further additions will be made by the DCC.

The DCC DIFFUSE Standards Frameworks were developed in partnership with a number of organisations with the aim of presenting searchable frameworks of standards relevant to digital curation and preservation.

Although no further work on DIFFUSE is planned, frameworks that were created remain an accessible and relevant resource. These include frameworks developed from existing publications or specifications as well as those developed specifically for the DIFFUSE project
