  1. EU-funded Research onDigital Preservation Javier Hernández-Ros European Commission, Information Society and MediaUnit "Cultural Heritage and Technology Enhanced Learning“ APA 2011 Conference, 8-9 Nov., London

  2. EU policy actions related to DP • "i2010 Digital Libraries" initiative (2005) • strategy for digitisation, online accessibility and digital preservation of Europe's collective memory • Commission Recommendation on Digitisation and Online Accessibility of Cultural Material and Digital Preservation (2006 – updated 27.10.11) • national strategies and quantitative and qualitative targets, including financial planning • improved conditions for digital preservation

  3. EU policy actions • Member States' Expert Group on Digitisation and Digital Preservation (2007) • exchange of good practices, monitoring progress in EU Member States • Communication from the Commission: 'Scientific Information in the Digital Age: Access, Dissemination and Preservation' (2007) • digital repositories for science and research • will be followed (first half 2012) by a recommendation for improving access to, management of and preservation of scientific publications and data

  4. EU policy actions • "The New Renaissance", report ofCommission's Reflection Group ("Comité des Sages") on digitisationon Digitisation and Digital Preservation (January 2011) • set of recommendations for the digitisation, online accessibility and preservation of Europe's cultural heritage in the digital age • Recommendation on Digitisation and Digital Preservation (October 2011) • asking Member States to step up their efforts, pool their resources and involve private actors in digitising cultural material and making it available through Europeana

  5. Pioneer Work under FP6 • Awareness rising activities • Establishment of common problem definitions, terminology and concepts • Memory institutions as drivers • Building up a solid body of expertise in the European research community • influence on international standardisation initiatives (e.g. PREMIS, OAIS, TRAC). ••• 5

  6. Recent and ongoing work • Fundamental research • moved beyond the preservation of simple documents and data towards interactive objects, embedded objects, ontologies and ephemeral data • e. g. LiWA (Web archiving), PLANETS (validation of objects according to format specifications and of preservation actions) ••• 6

  7. Recent and ongoing work • Applied research & development • addressing needs of user communities holding large collections of complex digital objects, e.g. audiovisual archives (PrestoPRIME) • improving workflows through automation, decision support and scalability (e.g. SCAPE, ARCOMEM, ENSURE) • broad range of use cases • industry and services sector: aerospace, health care, finance • science: astronomy, genomics • governmental and broadcasters' archives • libraries and web archives ••• 7

  8. Recent and ongoing work • Networking • broadening of the digital preservation community • increasing participation of industry players as solution providers or problem owners (e.g. APARSEN, SHAMAN, TIMBUS) • Foundations • Open Planets Foundation: provides practical solutions and expertise, building on R&D outputs of PLANETS • competence centre for preservation of digital audiovisual material: PrestoCentre ••• 8

Some achievements ofEU-funded research • methods and tools for preservation planning: PLANETS • formal models to characterise digital objects: DigitalPreservationEurope • OIAS-based technology platform, tested on various types of content: CASPAR • emulators for obsolete media (early computer games): KEEP • advanced tools for web archiving: LiWA • framework for digital preservation in the context of memory institutions: SHAMAN ••• 12

  13. New Research:Next Call for proposals • ICT Call 9 • 18 January until 17 April 2012 • Budget for objective "Digital Preservation" • € 30 million ••• 13

  14. Digital Preservation in the ICT Work Programme 2011-2012 Target Outcomes • More reliable and secure preservation technologies and methods(funding scheme: STREP) • Technologies and systems for intelligent management of preservation (IP) • Interdisciplinary research networks (NoE) • Promotion schemes for the uptake of digital preservation research outcomes (CSA)

  15. The Future: vision of digital preservation landscape

  16. The New EU Financial Framework 2014- 2020 • Horizon 2020 – Commission proposesa significant increase to Research and Innovation funding • Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) - cross-border infrastructures in energy, transport and ICT to strengthen the internal market

  17. Horizon 2020 in the Multiannual Financial Framework • Multiannual Financial Framework (2014-2020)Commission proposal adopted on 29 June 2011 • Proposed amount for Horizon 2020: €80 billionin constant 2011 prices (~€90 billion in current prices) • 46% increase compared to current period (2007-2013) • Research and innovation increases to 8.5% of overall EU budget • For decision by European Council, European Parliament

  18. Horizon 2020 – Objectives and structure Shared objectives and principles • Tackling Societal Challenges Creating Industrial Leadership and Com- petitive Frameworks Excellence in the Science Base Common rules and funding schemes

  19. Key features • Clear set of objectives based on Europe 2020 and Innovation Union • Integrating research and innovation in a seamless programme • Focus on overall policy priorities – using a challenge based approach • Programme structured by objectives • Common toolkit of funding schemes

  20. Connecting Europe Facility CEF2014-2020 • Commission proposal to promote the completion of: • Energy priority corridors €9.1 billion • Transport core network €21.7 billion • Broadband and key digital services €9.2 billion • High speed Internet • 9 European Digital Infrastructures

  21. Connecting Europe Facility CEF:Key digital services • Access to digital resources of European heritage: • make available large collections of European cultural resources in digital form • Foster their re-use by third parties • Core platform: Europeana • Generic services • Includes competence centres on digitisation and preservation of digital cultural heritage
