PLANETS, DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE), and CASPAR are pleased to announce that they will be delivering a joint one-day workshop to introduce the aims of their specific digital preservation projects and to discuss their overall relevance within the context of the European Commission Information Science and Technologies Framework Programme 6.

Most of scientific research is now based on digital data resources, and databases are playing an increasingly important role. Much of the data is either impossible (e.g. climate and demographic data) to reproduce or can only be recovered at enormous costs (e.g. data from high energy physics experiments or space flight missions). Nearly every reference manual, dictionary and gazetteer benefits from some form of database management support, and there has been an explosion in the number of curated databases in biology. These databases represent a huge investment of human effort. The need for preservation is self-evident. While considerable thought has been given in the past to the preservation of fixed "digital objects", the preservation of databases, which have an internal structure and which may change over time, poses new challenges. Typically databases are centrally managed, and their survival depends on the viability of commercial organisations or the continued public f

The scientific purposes of the workshop are: In what concern are artistic contents good objects/processes to anticipate complexity of industrial/scientific future objects ? - Is there any specificity of cultural domains as far as intangible heritage preservation is concerned? - What should be the interesting experiments coming from other domains like for instance medicine, industry or defence? - What has to be kept or archived? Objects, processes, or instructions/environment/technical framework to reproduce/re-product them? - …

DPE, PLANETS, and CASPAR are delighted to announce their second annual joint conference to introduce participants to a range of tools and resources and to explain how these fit into the evolving context of the international curation and preservation landscape. This event is being held in cooperationwith the European Commission and the e-SciDR project* and will be held at the Instituto dos Arquivos Nacionais / Torre do Tombo in Lisbon, Portugal on the 5th and 6th of September, 2007.

from: 11-03-2009   to: 20-03-2009

Provide a complete and detailed picture of the principles, the methodologies and the tools available for the development of a Digital Preservation system. The lectures will take into account the state of the art of the international research in this field, and the main results achieved by the European project CASPAR.

from: 23-03-2009   to: 27-03-2009

DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE), Preservation and Long-term Access through Networked Services (Planets), Cultural, Artistic and Scientific knowledge for Preservation, Access and Retrieval (CASPAR) and Network of expertise in Digital long-term preservation (nestor) are delighted to announce that they will be delivering the latest in a series of collaborative training initiatives to introduce the Preservation Challenges.

Today's e-Infrastructures provide online scientific communities with a viable means for large-scale, cross-domain collaboration, leveraged by their inherent ability to store and efficiently share huge volumes of distributed resources and data. In this context of global computing and integration, where new data sets are derived out of existing information at high rates, either manually or automatically, significant challenges are posed to the management, semantics assessment, and quality assertion of the shared data objects.
