This becomes even more salient and relevant at this point in the process, with the preparation for ingest and long-term preservation of our material. This is because, before we ingest and archive our data, we need to make sure that we capture the necessary metadata, which will allow our digital material to be adequately preserved, its authenticity maintained, and it remaining usable in the future. To understand which essential set of metadata we need to capture to preserve our invaluable data, we will need to get to know our digital files and their formats a bit better, including things such as our files’ validity, quality, and fixity.
