Project description
Developing digital data preservation and curation
Data preservation gained new significance in the digital age, enabling large volumes of data to be stored safely and more space-efficiently. However, energy costs, maintenance demands, and the challenge of selecting which data to preserve complicate this task. The EU-funded EOSC EDEN project aims to address these issues by developing a framework to identify data candidates for long-term preservation through assessments of use, quality, and benefits. It also plans to create a reappraisal model to periodically re-evaluate candidates as well as establish a European registry featuring services and tools from trustworthy repositories and archives. EOSC EDEN will collaborate with the FIDELIS project to consolidate an expert curation network and boost effective data preservation and curation in Europe.
Objective
EOSC EDEN will develop and establish a framework to identify what data are candidates to long-term preservation based on use, benefit, and quality and a model for re-appraisal points along data lifecycle and test usability. It will identify practices to support the creation of curation, long-term preservation, and access strategies in Europe. These outputs will be complemented by a set of user-centric tools, services, and standards that the project will develop to support the establishment of a European distributed infrastructure for long-term preservation, curation, and access in Europe. Namely, EOSC EDEN will build a registry to mainstream tools and services from trustworthy repositories and long-term archives into EOSC; will enhance and develop new services to automate preservation and curation actions and will identify standards and protocols to submit and exchange candidate packages for long-term preservation. The development of the services will be enabled via use cases and discipline-oriented pilots. The discipline-oriented pilots, developed by the early adopters of the project (meaning the representatives of the seven different disciplines directly part of the project) will test the EOSC EDEN outputs from a discipline-perspective ad will be key to inform the creation of a support-kit to guide and support new users in adopting the results of EOSC EDEN. To ensure adoption and long-term sustainability of the results EOSC EDEN will engage and collaborate with different types of stakeholders. One key player for the success of the project will be the HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01-03 awarded project. Last but not least, EOSC EDEN will work to boost data curation and quality practices in Europe by creating awareness of the benefits and by enhancing skills in the area. In particular, the project will establish an expert curation network with a representation on organisation, repository (generalist/specialist), collection/catalogue and at digital object type level.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
