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.
Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen
Digital artifacts are today a prominent part of archival collections ...
growing quantity of digital resources in generalmore and more inherently digital objects
... but they are extremely vulnerable and at high risk of getting lost or becoming unusable
changes of hardware and softwaredegradation of storage mediaerrors and technical failors in archiving systems
PCP Digital Preservation: The Challenge
Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen
Aspects of a complex problem (1)
Technical
obsolete media and formats: migration, emulationguaranteeing integrity and functionality over time:
quality control & repairOrganisational
Who does what and when? (preservation planning, workflows...)
Curation staff needs new skills
Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen
Aspects of a complex problem (2)
Financial
costs of preservationfinancial impacts of loss
Legal
legal obligation to preserve
restrictions through copyright and DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection
No definitive solution possible
preservation requires ongoing effortsmust be proactive (preventing loss before it occurs)
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 staffa legal framework that allows preservation
actions (copying, migrating...)
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.

Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen
Ongoing Research (ICT Call 6)
Network of ExcellenceAPARSEN – 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
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

Trends in Digital Preservation Research
Across all funded projects, we can observeBroadening of the digital preservation research and
user communityIncreasing range of application areas and types of
digital resourcesGrowing participation of industry players as solution
providers (big companies and SMEs)

Work Programme 2013
Objective ICT-2013.11.2More 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 PCPBudget: € 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
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
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.
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%)
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
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.
Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen
R&D phases
PCP projects are typically split in at least three R&D phases
solution exploration and designprototypingTesting against a set of functionality /
performance criteria, jointly defined by the public procurersNB: Proposals should describe the evaluation process and method used.
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
Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen
What is not part of Objecive 11.2
Digitisation of analogue objectsR&D in the field of digitisationDevelopment of storage technologies
PCP is an instrument for R&D procurement, and does not include the purchase of end-products or subsequent service contracts.
Europeana 2013/01/24 actuele oproepen
Expected impact
Reduced preservation costs and improved preservation capacity and competences in public organisations dealing with digital preservation, including small archives
Strengthened position of European service and technology providers (including SMEs) in the field of digital preservation
