digital preservation based on the OAIS reference model (ISO:14721:2002).
The
website provides official project documentation and material relevant to
digital preservation and related disciplines. It also serves as an information
and communication tool for the CASPAR Preservation User Community.
DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries
DELOS is a Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries partially funded by
the European Commission in the frame of the Information Society Technologies
Programme (IST). The main objectives of DELOS are research, whose results
are in the public domain, and technology transfer, through cooperation
agreements with interested parties.
Digital Preservation (LOC)
Technology has so altered our world that most of what we now create begins
life in a digital format. The artifacts that tell the stories of our lives
no longer reside in a trunk in the attic, but on personal computers or
Web sites, in e-mails or on digital photo and film cards. The flip side
to the ease with which we are able to create digital content is the complexity
of preservation and long-term retrieval of this content. We must contend
with issues relating to hardware and software compatibility; long-term
storage; organization of files for ease of search and retrieval; media
quality; disaster recovery; and integrity of original data.
Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC)
The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) was established in 2001 to foster
joint action to address the urgent challenges of securing the preservation
of digital resources in the UK and to work with others internationally
to secure our global digital memory and knowledge base.
Digital Curation Centre
Scientists, researchers and scholars across the UK generate increasingly
vast amounts of digital data, with further investment in digitisation and
purchase of digital content and information. The scientific record and
the documentary heritage created in digital form are at risk from technology
obsolescence, from the fragility of digital media, and from lack of the
basics of good practice, such as adequate documentation for the data. Working
with other practitioners, the Digital Curation Centre will support UK institutions
who store, manage and preserve these data to help ensure their enhancement
and their continuing long-term use.
What is digital curation? Digital curation
is maintaining and adding value to a trusted body of digital information
for current and future use; specifically, we mean the active management
and appraisal of data over the life-cycle of scholarly and scientific materials.
Digital Preservation: An Overview
A webcast version of a presentation entitled ‘Digital Preservation:
An Overview’ delivered by digital archives consultant Peter Van Garderen
on October 13, 2006 at the Managing Information Assets in the Public Sector
Conference in Edmonton, Canada. The presentation gives an introduction
to the problem of digital preservation, the various initiatives and tools
that are attempting to address this problem, and outlined how the OAIS
standard can be used as the basis of developing an institutional digital
preservation strategy. It includes a list of 50 citations and references
that were used in the presentation.
DigitalPreservationEurope
DigitalPreservationEurope, building on the earlier successful work of
ERPANET, facilitates pooling of the complementary expertise that exists
across the academic research, cultural, public administration and industry
sectors in Europe.
DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE) fosters collaboration and
synergies between many existing national initiatives across the European
Research Area. DPE addresses the need to improve coordination, cooperation
and consistency in current activities to secure effective preservation
of digital materials.
DLM Forum
A community of Public Archives and interested parties in archive, records
and information management throughout the EU.
Join Information Systems
Committee (JISC)
repositories and preservation programme
The programme is a £14m investment in Higher Education repository and
digital content infrastructure. It will fund initiatives to develop the
Information Environment supporting digital repositories and preservation,
including cross-searching facilities across repositories; funding for institutions
to develop a critical mass of content, preservation solutions and advice
for the development of repositories. The programme builds on the existing
JISC programmes, in particular the Digital Repository programme and the Supporting
Digital Preservation and Asset Management in Institutions programme.
kopal - Kooperativer Aufbau eines Langzeitarchivs digitaler Informationen
Digitale Dokumente langfristig zur Verfügung zu stellen, ist ein bislang
ungelöstes Problem unserer Informationsgesellschaft. Mit der ansteigenden
Zahl elektronischer Veröffentlichungen wächst die Notwendigkeit
einer zuverlässigen Archivierung. Im Zuge der technischen Entwicklung
werden immer neue digitale Dateiformate verwendet, die an spezielle Programme
und damit an bestimmte Rechnertypen und Betriebssysteme gebunden sind. Ältere
Daten sind so mit aktueller Soft- und Hardware oft nicht mehr nutzbar.
Das Projekt kopal widmet sich der Lösung dieser Problematik in Form
eines kooperativ entwickelten und betriebenen Langzeitarchivs für
digitale Daten.

Openarchives.eu
Openarchives.eu is the European guide to OAI-PMH compliant digital repositories
in the world. This is not a search engine to find metadata stored in the
repositories but a searchable index of the repositories themselves. If
you are interested in the metadata click on "Digital Objects" below.
PADI
The National Library of Australia's Preserving Access to Digital Information
(PADI) initiative aims to provide mechanisms that will help to ensure that
information in digital form is managed with appropriate consideration for
preservation and future access.
Planets - Digital Preservation Research and Technology
The Planets project brings together European National Libraries and Archives,
leading research institutions, and technology companies to address the
challenge of preserving access to digital cultural and scientific knowledge.
TAPE
TAPE aims to contribute to action plans for preservation of the audiovisual
heritage by laying the groundwork for a programme for awareness-raising
and training of nonspecialists. TAPE will bring together experts from large
organizations and those involved in technologically advanced programmes
(such as PRESTO-Space and FIRST) to develop a programme for training and
supporting materials.
