Project description:

The purpose of the project is to work with providers and users of scientific information and repositories to deliver insight into the issues of sustainable permanent access and provide cross-fertilisation of ideas and requirements between providers and users, the research community as a whole and national/European funding agencies. Among the major tasks this project will provide:
 * a roadmap for the support of e-infrastructures for long-term accessibility and usability of scientific and other digital information in Europe
 * insight into current and planned research and development relating to e-infrastructures and permanent access
 * identification of gaps in the existing and planned infrastructures
 * the ability to share and to capitalise on best practises as well as understanding the impact that e-Science is having on the research communities
 * better-informed investment decisions and sustainable e-repositories through an impact analysis framework and tool based on these insights
 * an international process for evaluating the sustainability and trustworthiness of digital repositories, and identifying best practice
