E-ARK project is co-founded by the European Commission under its ICT Policy Support Programme (PSP) within its Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP). The aim of the E-ARK project is to provide efficient access to the workflows related to the three main activities of an archive - acquiring, preserving and enabling re-use of information. Gathering existing national and international best practices is a key process in creating a usable methodology for electronic document archiving. Within its first year, E-ARK achieved all its planned milestones, submitting all eight contracted public deliverables to the European Commission. These deliverables already dealt with topics such as overview of the current situation of the digital archiving best practices, SIP, AIP and DIP specifications, user requirements, several inputs for technical implementations of EARK tools, and many more. At the moment, the methodology of the E-ARK project is being used in several pilots in various national contexts.
