4. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Objective 11.2 PCP Digital Preservation Digital Preservation research is concerned with the sustainability of digital resources, i.e. their accessibility, integrity and usability over time.

5. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Digital artifacts are today a prominent part of archival collections... growing quantity of digital resources in general more and more inherently digital objects... but they are extremely vulnerable and at high risk of getting lost or becoming unusable changes of hardware and software degradation of storage media errors and technical failors in archiving systems PCP Digital Preservation: The Challenge

6. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Aspects of a complex problem (1) Technical obsolete media and formats: migration, emulation guaranteeing integrity and functionality over time: quality control & repair Organisational Who does what and when? (preservation planning, workflows...) Curation staff needs new skills

7. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Aspects of a complex problem (2) Financial costs of preservation financial impacts of loss Legal legal obligation to preserve restrictions through copyright and DRM ( Digital Rights Management) protection No definitive solution possible preservation requires ongoing efforts must be proactive (preventing loss before it occurs)

8. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen What is needed Organisations with a societal mandate, legal obligations or business interests in long-term usability of digital holdings need ready-to-use, customisable and affordable technical solutions new knowledge and skills in curatorial staff a legal framework that allows preservation actions (copying, migrating...)

9. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen EU activities – policy support Digital Preservation is on the EU policy agenda since the "i2010 Digital Libraries" initiative (launched 2005). Latest activity: Recommendation on Digitisation and Digital Preservation (October 2011) Three recommendations for digital preservation: - reinforce national strategies, update action plans implementing the strategies, and exchange information between Member States - adapt the legal framework to allow for preservation actions such as copying - improve legal deposit arrangements for digital content.

10. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen EU activities – ICT research Investment under FP7 close to € 100 mio Results from early projects: Formal models to characterise digital objects Methods and tools to support preservation planning Advanced tools for web archiving Emulators for obsolete media OAIS-based (Open Archival Information System ) technology platforms Studies in legal barriers Services for end-users -Open Planets Foundation: a community providing practical solutions and expertise, and open source tools -PrestoCentre: competence centre for preservation of digital audiovisual material

11. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Ongoing Research (ICT Call 6) Scalable solutions for digital preservation creating automated quality-assured workflows supporting organisation policy based preservation planning and watch

12. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Intelligent digital curation and preservation systems leveraging the Wisdom of the Crowds (social Web) for content appraisal, selection and preservation preserving access to services and software that support business processes commercially relevant data; issues specific to industry and services (IPR, privacy, legal compliance, use of existing IT tools and infrastructures) Ongoing Research (ICT Call 6)

13. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Ongoing Research (ICT Call 6) Preserving complex objects weblogs - challenge: continuously evolving scientific workflows - i.e. not only results but also discovery process

14. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Ongoing Research (ICT Call 6) Network of Excellence APARSEN – Alliance Permanent Access to the Records of Science in Europe Network strengthening and extending collaboration amongst major European stakeholders in digital data and digital preservation (focus on science records) creating a virtual digital preservation research centre

15. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Outlook (Results from ICT Call 9) New projects to start end 2012/early 2013 Techniques and tools for recovering loss and for repairing damaged digital objects, and for preventing loss and damage of newly created resources Embedding reasoning and intelligence in the digital information life-cycle (includes research on semantic decay, management of evolution over time, methods to identify obsolete information) Coordination actions promoting the uptake of digital preservation research outcomes, outreach to new stakeholders; road mapping

16. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Trends in Digital Preservation Research Across all funded projects, we can observe Broadening of the digital preservation research and user community Increasing range of application areas and types of digital resources Growing participation of industry players as solution providers (big companies and SMEs)

17. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Work Programme 2013 Objective ICT-2013.11.2 More efficient and affordable solutions for digital preservation developed and validated against public sector needs through joint Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) Project type: 1-2 CP-CSA for PCP Budget: € 5 mio, whereas a maximum of 30% of the funding of a project can be used for the CSA part. Call: ICT Call 11, 18 Sept. 2012 – 16 April 2013

18. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen General Scope PCP actions focus on jointly identified concrete challenges that are part of the mid-to long-term innovation plans of the participating public purchasers and require new R&D

19. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Scope for PCP for Digital Preservation Research Examples in the Work Programme establishing and implementing best practices staff training integrating digital preservation requirements in existing information systems increasing those systems' resiliency against technological changes etc.

20. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Funding scheme CP-CSA = Combination of Collaborative Project (CP) and Coordination or Support Action (CSA) Publicly procured R&D work that responds to well- defined needs shared by public organisations (= CP part of the project, similar to a STREP, maximum 75% of costs reimbursed) The procurement process, i.e. a public call for tenders (= CSA part of the project with max. 30% of the budget; costs reimbursed at 100%)

21. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Consortia Minimum of three public digital collection holders (libraries, archives, heritage organisations, museums, administrations...) - Small archives welcome Possibly other partners (e.g. research organisations) Industrial technology and service providers to be brought in via public call for tender (which is part of the project) - SMEs welcome

22. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Possible areas of R&D work generation of preservation-relevant metadata migration processes and quality control preservation of particularly challenging digital resources, such as - large, complex, distributed objects - dynamic, active or interactive artifacts other The use of open platforms and contribution to standards are encouraged.

23. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen R&D phases PCP projects are typically split in at least three R&D phases solution exploration and design prototyping Testing against a set of functionality / performance criteria, jointly defined by the public procurers NB: Proposals should describe the evaluation process and method used.

24. Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen Competition and Risk Sharing Public purchasers may select several companies to start working in parallel and choose the best solutions through intermediate evaluations IPRs generated by a company during the PCP contract are assigned to that company with one free licence for the public procurers for their internal use
