PRESENTATION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SYMPOSIUM

Following the success of the first Symposium named "Ensuring the Long-Term
Preservation and Adding Value to the Scientific and Technical Data", organized
in 2002 and hosted by CNES in Toulouse, France, the second event will be hosted
by the European Space Agency in its ESRIN centre located in Frascati, Italy,
from 5 to 7 October 2004.

Important issues that have shown an evolution during the last years, and in some
cases still require answers, span from storage technologies, to archive
information systems architectures, to standards applied in information systems,
to security in order to protect data from unintentional damage or intentional
systems hackering, to data exchange among different archives. These issues are
of great interest in different disciplines, ranging from Space Data to
Experimental Physics to Industry Technical Data.

The theme of the Symposium in 2004 will be "From Preservation to Access", with
emphasis on the extraction and utilization of the information contained in the
data preserved for the long-term. The user point of view and the techniques
available today to ensure a proper preservation and utilization of information
by future generations is the main focus.

The provision of the right information at the right moment to the proper person,
through added-value data and services, will be the main concept that the
programme committee would like to be explored by presenters.


MAIN TOPICS
- Technology and Standards
- Added-value services
- Users expectations
- Lessons learnt
- Future prospects
