Report: A Future for our Digital Memory (2): Strategic Agenda 2010‐2013 for Long‐Term Access to Digital Resources

We all know the digital preservation problem.  This four-page document outlines the strategic agenda, dual-axis approach, and the four closely related basic principles that the Netherlands Coalition for Digital Preservation (NCDD) believes can help address it.  The NCDD intends to develop a distributed national network for managing digital resources in the public sector.  "The network will be based on cooperation and collaboration between stakeholders, because the resources required by long‐term digital preservation exceed the means of most individual institutions."  The strategy itself is based on four principles:
  • Each individual organisation that produces or archives digital objects is, in principle, responsible for organising long‐term access
  • Strengthening collaboration between domains: the NCDD
  • Strengthening collaboration within domains: the network leaders
  • Strengthening administrative collaboration
