Normalization is one preservation strategy that can be implemented using Archivematica. Archivematica uses the National Archives of Australia's Xena (XML Electronic Normalising for Archives) software to convert certain file formats to xml-based formats on ingest. A full list of the file types Xena can normalize is available at [http://xena.sourceforge.net/help.php?page=normformats.html http://xena.sourceforge.net/help.php?page=normformats.html].
