A joint-Industry project in Norway aimed at developing strategies for the long-term preservation of reliable and trustworthy digital documents, with an emphasis on the preservation of their semantic information and context for efficient long-term retrieval, use and understanding.
Using the principles of archival science and diplomatics as a foundation, the "UBC Project" defined the requirements for creating, handling and preserving reliable and authentic electronic records in active recordkeeping systems. As its second phase, the InterPARES Project will apply the diplomatic and modeling methodology of the UBC Project to develop the theoretical and methodological knowledge required for the preservation of the integrity of inactive records created in electronic systems.
