Kristian,

As far as I recall, that prototype was abandoned and was never fully 
completed.  I don't recall exactly why (someone from MIT may), but I 
think there were some concerns about the implementation.

Currently, DSpace does not have a 'history' system.  It does store 
basic provenance information (when an item was created/made 
available/withdrawn/deleted/etc) in an internal metadata field, 
'dc.description.provenance'.  But, that basic provenance is just stored 
in plain text (and not RDF or any structured format).

DSpace does provide other preservation tools:
* Checksum checker/verifier
* Backup & restore via AIPs: 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/AIP+Backup+and+Restore
* Various Curation Tasks (more coming in 1.8.0) - 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/Curation+System

Is there some particular feature you are looking for? Is it mostly an 
interest in provenance information, or just preservation tools in 
general?

- Tim
