E-mail: contact@michael-culture.eu

Description:

The project has been launched to look at best practice for preservation standards in use.

DCH-RP builds upon the knowledge generated by the DC-NET ERA-NET, the INDICATE and also upon other successfully completed and ongoing initiatives, with regard to those who address the theme of the preservation with cross-disciplinary strategies.

Objectives:

  • harmonize data storage and preservation policies in the digital cultural heritage sector at European and international level, dealing with the storage phase which includes both long-term preservation and short-term preservation
  • progress a dialogue among DCH-RP institutions, e-Infrastructures, research and private organisations and integrate these efforts in a common work
  • identify more suitable models for the governance, maintenance and sustainability for such infrastructure.

Main outcomes : Roadmap for the implementation of a preservation federated e-infrastructure, supplemented by practical tools for decision makers, validated through a range of proof of concepts, where cultural organisations and e-Infrastructure providers worked together on concrete experiments.

It involves 13 partners from EU countries and will move to external partners from Europe and other countries.
