Abstract

Container technology has been quickly adopted as a tool to encapsulate and share complex software setups, e.g. in the domain of computational science. With growing significance of this class of complex digital objects their longevity is also of growing importance. In this paper we analyze requirements for long-term maintenance and preservation of containers in memory institutions.
