This page documents the results from the AQuA Project Mashups in Leeds and London. It describes digital Collections, preservation or QA Issues associated with the Collections, Contexts to the Collections and Issues, and Solutions developed to solve the Issues. The result is a network of information, illustrated diagramatically by this example.

Collections:

These are the Collections brought along to the AQuA Mashups by curators and digital preservation practitioners.

Issues:

Contexts:

These are the contextual and institutional requirements to the Collections and Issues. They will have implications for the design, embedding and use of the Solutions.

Solutions:

These are Solutions to the Issues outlined above, that have been developed by the participants at the AQuA Mashup events.
