Project duration: 2015-2017
Project budget: 3 mill. €
Project abstract
The goal of PreservIA project is to develop innovative
solutions and methods for secure and authentic long
term preservation of digital data. Piql AS has together
with European partners and through three major proj-
ects (Archivator E!4863, MiLoS E!7360) and AStoR (BIA
219744) developed technology and components for
a complete system for long term preservation and in-
dexing of digital data, called Piql Preservation Services.
The system includes hardware for writing and reading
data on the storage medium (piqlFilm), a packaging for
the film (piqlBox), a secondary packaging (piqlBin) suit-
able for handling in a fully automated storage system
(piql Vault) and a WEB-based system for data ingest and
retrieval. Both the storage medium and the packaging
have a documented lifetime of 500 years. PreservIA will
bring Piql Preservation Services a big leap forward by
including new and innovative functionality so that secu-
rity, immunity and authenticity is better ensured whilst
at the same improving the environmental impact, all this
without compromising the lifetime of 500 years.
