The International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) is a well-established annual event that holds a distinctive position within the digital curation community. It brings together individuals, organisations and institutions from across disciplines and sectors involved in data curation, offering a forum for data practitioners to connect and engage in discussions on policy and practice.
EOSC EDEN is happy to be part of this year's conference and share some of the early project results with the curation community, supporting individual curators, organisations and institutions alike in their work, improving FAIR data management, and strengthening data curation and preservation practices.
Meet EOSC EDEN at IDCC26:
Mon 16 Feb 9.00-16.00 CET 2nd EOSC EDEN & FIDELIS Bootcamp

Towards a Shared Understanding of what is Necessary for Long-Term Archiving: EOSC EDEN Core Preservation Processes by Maria Benauer, Bertrand Caron, Micky Lindlar, TIB-Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology, Germany
EOSC EDEN has identified 30 Core Preservation Processes (CPPs) as actions which every Trustworthy Digital Archive should undertake - either directly or through its associated parties or services. While certification frameworks like CoreTrustSeal are established frameworks to describe the overall organisational digital preservation processes against, CPPs focus on operational activities on the basis of the digital object and have been described as a sequence of implementable steps, either by humans or by automation.
