- nestor is a German network of expertise focused on long-term storage and availability of digital resources, funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research. - An online survey conducted by nestor at the University of Göttingen found high interest in digital preservation but little planning, with most data's long-term preservation not ensured and a lack of standards and metadata. - Two nestor projects aim to develop solutions: KoLaWiss examines preservation of research data across institutions, while PARSE.Insight creates a roadmap for maintaining access to scientific information in Europe.
