The koLibRI digital preservation tool, developed by German National Library, the Goettingen State and University Library, the Gesellschaft fuer wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Goettingen, and IBM Deutschland GmbH, is now available for download. From the web page:

The kopal Library for Retrieval and Ingest (koLibRI) represents a library of Java tools that have been developed for the interaction with the DIAS system of IBM within the kopal project. It has been designed with the intention to be re-usable as a whole or in parts within other contexts, too.

While the software itself may be of limited use outside its original context, the koLibRI website provides a variety of documentation that will be of interest to designers and implementors of digital preservation systems.
