A consortium has begun working on a proposal to obtain funding under the
EU's Sixth Framework Programme for the development of a system for
preservation of digital information from cultural heritage and scientific
sources. The aim is to address long-term preservation of complex digital
documents, associated metadata standards, support of proactive
preservation strategies by appropriate software approaches, support of
reuse and re-purposing by knowledge extraction, context-based retrieval,
and visualisation techniques.
The consortium would like to hear from potential partners in industry or
cultural heritage, who are willing to participate in testing of the
product or assist in its eventual commercial exploitation.
Please respond to this message if you are interested in finding out more
about participating in PADMEM (Preservation and Access Functions of a
Digital Memory for Scientific and Cultural Assets).
