4-Layer Model for thinking about Digital Preservation:

1. Intellectual content
2. Data
3. Software
4. Hardware

(Museums have a different object-based approach to thinking about preservation, largely influenced by the importance that's historically been placed material culture. If there's only one model of a computer in the science museum, curators won't risk switching it on to access potential intellectual content for fear that the physical object will be damaged).
