Abstract:

This paper describes the international inquiry the National Library of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Bibliotheek or KB) will perform for ICABS. The inquiry will address the requirements/conditions for long-term archiving of electronic resources and explore strategies, methods and standards for migration and emulation. The focus for both subjects will lie with issues that are most relevant for the library community. Based on desk-research, interviews and analysis of new developments a report will be written containing best practices, evaluation of emerging standards and recommendations for future research and development. After years of discussing the problem and possible solutions, the last few years have seen an increase in actions that are taken to set up digital archives, organize the management of digital resources and define strategies for permanent access. This means now is a good time to take inventory and define best practices, evaluate emerging standards and describe issues that need extra attention.sitan más atención.
