Abstract
Intelligibility, evolution and emulation are some of the key notions for 
digital information preservation. In this paper we define formally these 
notions on the basis of modules and inter-module dependencies. 
Subsequently, we discuss how we can handle the evolution of modules and 
dependencies. This work can be exploited for building advanced preservation 
information systems and registries.
