The growing multitude of digital resources forms the basis of the intellectual capital of European research. Mining of further information from these resources and allowing new generations of researchers to “stand on the shoulders of giants” is the very essence of research. These digital resources must persist and remain findable, accessible, and understandable. Data re-use (by users in a different discipline, for example) may happen immediately the data is produced or may not happen for an extended period of time. The same techniques for preservation of data assets support contemporaneous (re-)users as well as the interests of future generations.
