The European Library (TEL) Newsletter
February 2004
Articles on The European Library project now available
The European Library (TEL) was a co-operative project of eight
European
national libraries along with ICCU, the Italian central cataloguing
institution, established under the aegis of the Conference of European
National Librarians (CENL), and funded as an accompanying measure under
the
European Union's IST programme. The project has provided an environment
in
which partners could investigate both the business and technical
issues
which needed to be resolved before a service could be set up, and was
completed on 31 January 2004 after 36 months of work.
A summary of the project work and its results was published in the
January
2004 issue of Ariadne: http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue38/woldering/

A specialised article on search and retrieval in The European Library
was
published in the February 2004 issue of the D-Lib Magazine:

5. File Formats for Preservation: ERPANET Training Seminar, Vienna, Austria, 10-
11 May 2004
_____Forward header_____
From: "Swiss Editor" Swiss.editor at erpanet.org
Date: 02/19/04 05:36pm
Subject: File Formats for Preservation: ERPANET Training Seminar, Vienna, 10-11
May 2004
ERPANET is pleased to announce its training seminar on 'File Formats for
Preservation'.
It will be held on 10-11 May 2004 at the Austrian National Library
(Österreichische Nationalbibliot
hek, ÖNB). Registration is now open at www.erpanet.org.
__Co-Sponsors
Austrian National Library (Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, ÖNB)
Digital Curation Centre (UK)
__Focus
File formats are a crucial layer, indeed a hinge between the bits in storage
and their meaningful i
nterpretation. The proper access to and display of content depends entirely on
the ability to decip
her the respective bitstream, and consequently on precise knowledge about how
the information conta
ined within is represented. Thus file formats are one of the core issues of any
digital preservatio
n approach, and file format obsolescence is a major challenge for anybody
wanting to preserve digit
al files.
The ERPANET Seminar aims at giving an overview on these issues and at offering
guidance based on pr
actical experience. Requirements and best practices for archival file formats
will be discussed, an
d issues such as file format registries and format validation will be treated.
__Who will benefit from attending?
This training seminar is aimed at all people who are dealing with file format
issues. These include
practitioners in digital preservation from all kind of organisations and
institutions, decision-ma
kers and other people involved in choosing preservation file formats, and
preservationists who are
facing file format challenges and are looking for first-hand information and
experience. In particu
lar, people who want to exchange their experience with colleagues from all over
Europe and beyond s
hould consider attending.
We expect attendants to have basic familiarity with digital preservation and
file format issues. Pl
ease see the bibliography on the seminar webpage at www.erpanet.org for some
introductory reading.

lunch break and evenin
g dinner. (Both lunches and a seminar dinner are included in the seminar fee.)
