  Description     : transforms files into open, publicly documented formats for long-term digital preservation.

Xena 4.0 has been designed by the National Archives of Australia to aid 
in the long-term preservation of digital information. The Xena user 
interface is a convenient means of accessing the core functions of the 
National Archives' digital preservation framework.
Xena can convert any data object into an ASCII representation containing 
XML metadata, via Base64 encoding. This is known as 'binary 
normalisation' and is fully reversible when there is a need to re-create 
an original data object. Xena can also convert data objects into openly 
specified file formats, such as XML or PNG, in a process known as 
'normalisation.' These normalised files may be accessed via the Xena 
viewer, or exported for use with other applications.
