Objectives The motivation of the PARSE.Insight project is to contribute to the long-term access to the digital resources created by scientific endeavour.
It is widely recognised that there are risks that such resources might be lost to future use unless active steps are taken for their preservation. Not only hardware, media and formats change, but knowledge, required to interpret and reuse data, also changes over time. There are of course many initiatives under way dealing with this problem, but PARSE.Insight aims to look across communities to seek a common infrastructure.
