1: Preservation of Cultural Heritage and Scientific Digital Objects

Establish an expandable and self-sustaining European Initiative, which will serve as a virtual clearinghouse and knowledge-base in the area of preservation of cultural heritage and scientific digital objects

Other Information:

The dominant feature of ERPANET will be the exchanging of knowledge on state-of-the-art developments in digital preservation and the transfer of expertise among individuals and institutions. More specifically ERPANET will deliver a range of services (e.g. content creation, advisory service, training and thematic workshops and fora), both to information creation and user community. It will make accessible tools, knowledge, and experience. ERPANET will not directly carry out new research to develop such tools, but it will create a coherent platform for proactive co-operation, collaboration, exchange and dissemination of research results and experience in the preservation of digital objects. It will bring together research institutions, memory organisations, ICT industry, entertainment and creative (e.g. broadcasting) industries and provide effective, multidisciplinary, knowledge and resource-sharing infrastructure.
