R&D Projects - Overview

PreservIA (BIA 245586 - EUREKA) Norwegian Research Council and Eureka Project status 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.
