This report describes a cost model and associated tools for estimating the long-term costs of operating a trusted digital repository service for aerospace data. The report reviews work already done by the digital preservation community on techniques for cost modelling, analyses the requirements for cost modelling for long-term retention and re-use of aerospace data (design, manufacturing and IVHM), and then describes both a simple empirical cost model and more sophisticated cost simulation tool and how they can be applied.
