h5. About these pages
The pages referenced below form a network of *Datasets*, preservation and curation *Issues* with those Datasets, and *Solutions* to those Issues. As such, these pages capture information and requirements about concrete digital preservation and curation challenges, that are present in specific datasets and collections. The experiences of solving these Issues are written up on Solution pages. These in turn link to pages in the [OPF Tool Registry|TR:Home], and to actual code that can be downloaded and re-used.
The purpose of these pages is to share experiences in solving preservation and curation problems, so we can learn from each other, and to articulate practitioners needs and requirements to those who are in a position to produce practical solutions to their problems.

h5. Practitioners need better characterisation tools
Analysis of the Datasets, Issues and Solutions collated on this page indicated a broad cross section of preservation requirements, but an overriding need for more effective characterisation. Practitioners need to understand more about their data and it's condition, typically for quality assurance, appraisal and assessment and for identifying preservation risks. This analysis and details of these conclusions are described in this poster, published at the 8th International Digital Curation Conference, Amsterdam, January 2013.
