I thought RAW/DNG was a codec/container-format kind of thing?
Like, RAW rules the representation, which is stuffed into DNG. So you could have a DNG and not be able to do much that's useful with it because you don't understand the producing camera's flavor of RAW.
But I am the opposite of an expert and I may well be wrong.

Does anybody have a favorite reasonably layperson/newbie-friendly reading about preserving born-digital photos in general and RAW in particular?
Asking for a me, because a student assignment revealed that I need to address this. (Don't worry, I didn't ding their grade over something I forgot to discuss.)
The only thing my linkspam turned up is https://www.lux.camera/understanding-proraw/ which doesn't suck but also isn't written from a preservation perspective.

Because a friend of mine reported this shortly after it happened to me: Anybody getting "please publish with us" spam from the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) that is wildly out-of-discipline for them?
If so, are you an academic librarian?
I'm honestly wondering if this is a cackhanded sales technique on JoVE's part. They're well-known in librarianship for being incompetent, also for abuse toward librarians.

Getting to a library-provided ebook in O'Reilly's platform is a PITA, but I will happily admit how much I love the experience of reading the HTML-based ebook there.
