Overview

The DAITSS (Dark Archive in the Sunshine State) digital preservation repository system preserves digital content for the very long term.

DAITSS is a “dark archive”; there is no real time access of content. DAITSS supports use by multiple customers, whether these are different organizations or different units within an organization. DAITSS allows great flexibility in terms of what is archived and how archived content is preserved. It implements forward format migration and normalization as preservation strategies.

DAITSS application was developed by the Florida Center for Library Automation.

DAITSS is released as open source software under the GNU GPL license.

Technical requirements

DAITSS requires Java 5 or later, and is meant to run on a Unix or Linux operating system. The installation script requires the bash shell and makes use of the standard Unix utilities tar, gz, sed and awk. This DAITSS distribution is installed in a minimal configuration, and requires the following software:

  • MySQL Version 4.x or later, with InnoDB data table support.
  • The Sun Java Virtual Machine (JVM), version 5 or later. The JVM will be present if you have installed Sun's JRE, J2SE or J2EE systems.
  • A working Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) such as Sendmail or Postfix.

Other, optional programs are covered in greater depth in the DAITSS Installation Manual.
