DMF ultimately will allow the agency to archive and manage 40 petabytes of information — an amount equal to approximately 2,000 times the size of the entire print collection of the Library of Congress, NASA officials said.

The Chronopolis Digital Preservation Demonstration Project, one of the Library of Congress' latest efforts to collect and preserve at-risk digital information, has been officially launched as a multi-member partnership to meet the archival needs of a wide range of cultural and social domains. Chronopolis is a digital preservation data grid framework being developed by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego , the UC San Diego Libraries (UCSDL) , and their partners at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Colorado and the University of Maryland's Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) . A key goal of the Chronopolis project is to provide cross-domain collection sharing for long-term preservation. Using existing high-speed educational and research networks and mass-scale storage infrastructure investments, the partnership is designed to leverage the data storage capabilities at SDSC, NCAR, and UMIACS to provide a preservation data grid that emphasizes heterogeneous and highly redundant data storage systems.

The Australian national data service site; cool because they distinguish between depositing data and registering its existence and each is a different service. Even though we're a single university, offering a registry might appeal to those sections of the U that are more interested in autonomy while still giving us some information about who does what here on campus.
