The GSCB website was a point of collection for the PV conferences in order to preserve relevant information and papers.

The PV conference series was about ensuring long-term Preservation and Adding Value to Scientific and Technical Data.

Scope:

The PV Conference provided a forum to discuss the many challenges organisations encounter today with rapid growth of data and topics around data preservation, value adding and interoperability. During the PV Conferences participants had the opportunity to share knowledge, experience and lessons learnt in these fields and network with colleagues.

Objectives:

• Share knowledge lessons learned and best practices as well as foster cooperation in the area of Data Preservation and archived data stewardship.
• Address prospects in the domain of high volume, high velocity, high variety scientific and technical data preservation together with value adding to these data.
