<p>Content pass: encyclopedic seed/expansion</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;LOCKSS&#039;&#039;&#039; (&quot;Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe&quot;) is a distributed [[Digital preservation]] approach and open-source system originating at Stanford University Libraries. Participating institutions keep local copies of licensed or collected content and compare [[Checksum]]s so damaged copies can be repaired from peers.<br /> <br /> ==Idea==<br /> The slogan captures a core archival intuition: no single disk or vendor should be a single point of failure. Related programmes (e.g. CLOCKSS) adapt the model for scholarly publishers.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Checksum]]<br /> * [[Institutional repository]]<br /> * [[Digital preservation]]<br /> <br /> ==Sources==<br /> * Official LOCKSS programme documentation.<br /> * Library-science overviews of distributed preservation.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Digital preservation]]<br /> [[Category:Standards]]<br /> [[Category:Organizations]]</div>
