High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xena (short for XML Electronic Normalising for Archives) is an open-source software package intended for digital preservation. It was developed by the National Archives of Australia. In contrast to server-based solutions for institutions such as DSpace, Xena can be installed on any desktop computer, offering individuals a way to avoid digital obsolescence. Xena is available free of charge under the GNU General Public License. Xena either converts files into an openly specified format, such as ODF or PNG, or else it performs ASCII Base64 encoding on binary files and wraps the output with XML metadata headers and footers. The resulting .xena file is plain text, although the content of the data itself is not directly human-readable.
