APARSEN TRAINING EVENT –
SUSTAINABILITY: SECURING THE VALUE OF DIGITAL DATA ASSETS 
_The Hague,
10th-11th December 2013_ 

The APARSEN project is delighted to announce
that registration has opened for our latest training event, organised by
DANS and focusing on issues relating to sustainability and digital
preservation. 

Society is generating a vast amount of digitally encoded
information, upon which it depends. Some of this will be needed for a
long time. Those who have responsibility for preservation may well have
asked themselves the following: 

 	* How can I justify the resources
needed for digital preservation?
 	* How long must the resources be
committed?
 	* How can I estimate the resources needed and how can I
keep these to a minimum?
 	* How can I plan to cope as the volume
increases over time?

The APARSEN project has been working to collect,
evaluate and develop key answers to these questions. This two day
training event, from the APARSEN project, will focus on the topic of
"Sustainability" in relation to the preservation of digital objects and
will present some of these answers. The training aims at presenting
state of the art developments in relation to four key sustainable
preservation practices. These are: 

 	* The infrastructural dimension
through the analysis of suitable STORAGE solutions that help enable
reliable permanent access
 	* The operational dimension through the
identification, evaluation and proposal of competitive Digital
Preservation SERVICES
 	* The monitoring and performance management of
DP activities through COST MODELS and their components
 	* The
underlying business dimension of digital preservation sustainability by
means of modern management approaches and instruments such as value
propositions, BUSINESS CASES and business modelling

The training will
be offered as a mix of expert presentations, group exercises and
discussion. REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN VIA THE APARSEN WEBSITE AT A COST
OF €50 FOR BOTH DAYS: http://bit.ly/1aCaME3 [1] 

This training event is
generously subsidised through the APARSEN project by the European
Community's 7thFramework Programme for Research and Development
FP7/2007-2013 - ICT-2009.4.1: Digital Libraries and Digital Preservation
