IThe Challenge

“If we are effectively to preserve for future generations the …. corpus of information in digital form that represents our cultural record, we need … to commit ourselves technically, legally, economically, and organizationally to the full dimensions of the task.”

Report of the Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information, 1996

IVision:

“… a vision in which science and engineering

digital data are routinely deposited in well-

documented form, are regularly and easily

consulted and analyzed by specialists and non-

specialists alike, are openly accessible while

suitably protected, and are reliably preserved.”
