(European Archival Records and Knowledge Preservation)
E-ARK was a multinational CIP FP7 pilot project that improved the methods and technologies of digital archiving, in order to achieve consistency on a Europe-wide scale.
Tackling a range of problems associated with independent record-keeping technologies, systems and practices, E-ARK benefited the development of internationally accessible archives through: the provision of technical specifications and tools, the development of an integrated archiving infrastructure, the demonstration of improved availability, access and use, and the rigorous analysis of aggregated sets of archival data.
Running from 1st February 2014 to 31st January 2017 E-ARK was co-funded by the European Commission under its ICT Policy Support Programme (PSP) within its Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP).
The E-ARK project has provided:
- Guidelines on pan-European e-archiving as part of EC e-infrastructure
- Open archival products (tools, services, framework, metadata specifications)
- Open technical products (tools, services, metadata specifications)
- Open operational products (ingest and access tools, services, metadata specifications)
- Open access tools, services, metadata specifications, including data mining tools for business intelligence
- Open interfaces from tools, services, metadata specifications to existing systems products
- Outcomes of a legal study
- Outcomes of pilots, especially where similar archival material to that under consideration was processed
- Project papers on the integration work undertaken
