Why permanence is hard
“Digital resources will not survive or
remain accessible by accident.”
– Bernard Smith, European Commission
ICSTI/ICSU/CODATA Digital Preservation Workshop

“The desire for archives is much greater
than the desire to archive.”
– Eli Hjorth Reksten
Critical Issues in the Preservation of Datasets

Workshop Objectives
What
are the main challenges and barriers
to progress in providing permanent access
to S&T data?
What are promising means to overcome
these challenges?
What specific actions can we put into
practice.
