Preserving digital content for future generations - a Council Resolution |
|
|
|
|
The
Official Journal of the European Communities
has published the Council resolution on preserving
digital content for future generations (2002/C
162/02). The document notes that the cultural
and intellectual assets of our society are
dependent on rapidly changing technologies,
on fragile media and are widely distributed
geographically, hence they are at great risk
of irremediably lost unless positive measures
are taken to preserve them. Accordingly, the
Council proposes, among other objectives,
the development of policies for preserving
digital culture and heritage, the analysis
of appropriate investments and the creation
of mechanisms for the exchange of knowledge
and skills.
