Because good research needs good data

Second Digital Preservation Challenge

Adrian Richardson | 17 January 2008

DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE) has announced its second international Digital Preservation Challenge to promote innovation at all levels and provide an insight into the range of digital preservation risks currently being faced by international research and practitioner communities. The challenge invites participants to overcome the barriers hindering access to five digital objects. Each set of objects is accompanied by a highly abstracted scenario based on real-life situations. These scenarios are intended to make the challenge more accessible to participants from all backgrounds while not trivialising the serious nature of the digital preservation challenges facing society.
