This Preservation Quality Tool (PresQT) workshop is designed to expand

One <https://presqt.crc.nd.edu/index.php/workshops/workshop-one>, gather
additional stakeholder input, and gauge community interest to inform
technical and administrative implementation plans for open source Data and
Software Preservation Quality Tools that can be jointly developed by
interested parties.  There is potential for workshop participants to take
the project’s resultant technical and administrative project plans forward
and work together to jointly in future to develop the planned tool(s) as
funded implementation projects, and/or RDA working group activities.
