This website (now under development) serves the project CASPAR - Cultural, Artistic and Scientific knowledge for Preservation, Access and Retrieval - an Integrated Project co-financed by the European Union within the Sixth Framework Programme (Priority IST-2005-2.5.10, "Access to and preservation of cultural and scientific resources"), that started on 1 April 2006.The project will research, implement, and disseminate innovative solutions for digital preservation based on the OAIS reference model (ISO:14721:2002).The website will make available the official project documentation and useful documents relevant to digital preservation and related disciplines. It will also serve as an information and communication tool for the CASPAR Preservation User Community: a worldwide partnership of all those who have a stake in the preservation of digital information and who share and support the CASPAR mission: creators of digital resources, curators, service providers, memory institutions, researchers, and users.CASPAR has ambitious goals. Active participation by the Preservation User Community, sharing requirements, feedback and validating the results of the design and development phases is mandatory to transform such goals in practical objectives.For this reason the CASPAR consortium will foster end-user partecipation in the project by different means, including workshops, online forums, informational and training events.

Added 16 March 2004
http://www.cordis.lu
CORDIS, the European Commission's Research and Development Information Service, is providing a new Guidance interface to help explain the wide range of information available on its key services. One of the projects that deal with Digital Preservation is the Computerised Bibliographic Record Actions Plus Preservation and Service Developments for Electronic Publications. This is a concerted action, involving national libraries in Europe. Its main goals are to build on a concertation activity (CoBRA) set up in 1993 to promote initiatives and actions in the area of national bibliographic services at a European level. CoBRA+ consolidates previous work while widening its focus beyond national bibliographic services to include collection based issues particularly those concerned with electronic publications and related service developments in national libraries. Particular emphasis is placed on resource access and sharing, user needs and the use of communications networks to achieve these aims.
