Dear all,
The goal of the project PresQT (Preservation Quality Tool) is to support interoperability between repositories and virtual research environments/science gateways and to improve the quality of sharing data and software adding beneficial metadata and FAIR tests. PresQT and its standards-based design with RESTful web services have been informed via user-centered design and is a collaborative open-source implementation effort.
We are happy to share that in recent months we tackled fixity and keyword assignment, and that PresQT services are offered for OSF, Zenodo, GitHub, GitLab, CurateND, FigShare and EaaSI. Further integrations are under development such as Whole Tale and HUBzero. We have integrated basic FAIR tests using the services of FAIRsharing.org to increase the quality of preservation by testing whether digital objects are findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable. FAIRness testing via FAIRshake.cloud is under development.
It would be great if you would beta-test the current services to give us feedback. We also appreciate feedback on additional integrations of partners or features.
