EU- Research that underpin the importance of preservation policies
• Planets project
If a policy was present, preservation was better in shape (more money, plans and awareness)
Raising awareness related to preservation of research data
Policies as a means to become interoperable
Relating policies to business processes
Several EU projects now running have policies as a theme

Why policies?

• You can adapt your actions to changing situations • Risk: lack of consistency
• You’re not bound to (external) promises • Risk: lack of transparancy and trust
• You might take quicker decisions • Risk: decisions might be ad hoc and not be related to
organisational goals
• You can have your own preservation eco system • Risk: lack of accountability and interoperability
• You can follow your own insights • Risk: isolation

1. Consistency & coherence in your approach of DP 2. Transparency about your activities
• to your staff • over generations (provenance)
3. Accountability: • to funding bodies and • to general public
4. Knowledge exchange amongst colleagues 5. Interoperability: sharing 6. To make automatic processing possible

• SCAPE is about: • Scalability: many digital objects & complex objects • Large scale activities cannot be done manually • (automated) Quality Assurance • Development of “policy driven preservation actions”
• Requires detailed, machine readable policies • Consistent with (a combination of) higher level policies
• Two target areas: • Preservation Watch (SCOUT) • Preservation Planning (PLATO)
