• Over the past year [2002-2003], NSF and DELOS have sponsored a new series of working groups, and the reports are now coming out. These reports (and descriptions of the working groups) can be found from http://www.dli2.nsf.gov/intl.hmtl . At present, there are reports on digital imagery for cultural and historical material, spoken-word audio collections and personalization.

• Global Grid Forum has a working group on Persistent Archives.  Meeting scheduled for June, 2003; links to documents.  "Persistency covers here a timespan of decades, and persistent archives need to be able to deal with technology changes over such time frames. That puts various requirements onto PSs. Surprisingly, many of these requirements are already met by todays data grids."

Exchanges such as that between Harnad and Sargent (EPrints, DSpace or ESpace?, 2003) suggest that preservation issues are not being discounted, but are being deferred to some future date. Neither authors of e-prints or repository managers have reached firm decisions about the long-term preservation of e-prints."  (from the Exec. Summary)
