heiARCHIVE, a long-term preservation service at Heidelberg University

heiARCHIVE is a new institutional service for long-term data preservation at Heidelberg University. It offers researchers an easy-to-use end-user platform for archival of their research data as well as the possibility to do a OAIS compatible long-term preservation containing features like format recognition, validation and conversion of files of appropriate file formats. heiARCHIVE is developed and will be operated by the Competence Center Research Data - a joint service facility of the University Computing Center and Heidelberg University Library. This work outlines the concept of the service and its current status.
