The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to share a Japanese translation of its Rapid Assessment Model (RAM), with thanks to volunteer contributors.

Now available as a PDF download in Japanese, the second edition of the DPC RAM is a digital preservation maturity modelling tool that has been designed to enable rapid benchmarking of an organization’s digital preservation capability.

“When we first released DPC RAM just over 2 years ago we had no idea it would be embraced by so many across the digital preservation community,” explains Jen Mitcham, Head of Research and Practice for the DPC and one of the DPC RAM co-creators. “To see it translated into different languages and now Japanese is incredibly encouraging. We are really grateful the volunteer translators for making this happen.”
