24. Example of an Integrated Project (1) CUBE - Cultural heritage UmBrella for REsearch in the Archiving Domain The Objective of the CUBE-Project will be to establish an operational research and development platform ("umbrella") for information and content managers and users of electronic documents and digital assets in the archival area. The "CUBE-Project" will provide a platform for multi-disciplinary cooperation between archivists, public administration, research and the ICT industry, with a view to identifying and promoting best practices and concrete solutions in this field. The CUBE-Project will also reinforce and complement the objectives of the eEurope2005 initiative which aims to provide an Information Society for all in the areas of egovernment, ehealth and elearning to create a more dynamic business environment, with secure information infrastructure and availability of broadband access. The "DLM-CUBE" as result of coordinated, streamlined, and bundled research activities and projects in the field of digital restoration and preservation and related areas like metadata & knowledge management, and web-archiving will provide guidelines, reference models and an IT-infrastructure (tools, systems & services) for archives and similar Cultural Heritage organisations or industrial enterprises confronted with the storage and long term preservation of materials of different kinds. 

25. Example of an Integrated Project (2) Project Description:  The CUBE-Project covers those research areas which are considered of main interest by the ICT Industries and described in several "Industry White Papers": Capture, Indexing & Auto-Categorization,  Conversion & Document Formats, Content Management, Access & Protection, Availability & Preservation, Education, Training & Operation. In the preface to these Industry White Papers, Erkki Liikanen, European Commissioner for Enterprise and the Information Society, states: “The importance of providing public access and long term preservation of electronic information is seen as a crucial requirement to preserve the memory of the information society as well as improving business processes for more effective government”. The CUBE-Project puts main emphasis on "digital preservation" and considers the "Digital Preservation Process" as integration of different activities: Image Capture (Digitisation), Hybrid Imaging (Analog/Digital to Analog/Digital Conversion), and IT-Services (Content & Knowledge Management, Storage & Access, eBusiness,...). These three topics constitute the baseline of the "CUBE-Research Areas" which are outlined in the "CUBE-Research Agenda". The Research Areas cover "vertical" activities but CUBE also includes "horizontal" measures covering: legal framework & digital rights management, technology & methodology, standards, guidelines, good practice, business models & usability, dissimination & technology watch, and education & training.

26. Example of an Integrated Project (3)   The target user group includes governmental and industrial organisations which are faced with the problem of long term preservation of documents of any kind, WEB-archives, etc.  The CUBE-Project will deliver the "DLM-CUBE"  which will support archiving processes following commonly used approaches as laid down in MOREQ, ISO-15489, OAIS, and similar, based on State of the Art Technical Standards (XML-based, SOAP, OAI) and Platforms & Architectures. The DLM-CUBE will enable the integration of archival ressources into the global internet-based market using ebXML-technology for eBusiness integration. Based on the DLM-CUBE, trials will be offered and conducted at different stakeholder's sites (Archives, Libraries, Museums, Enterprises). Approach:  The CUBE-Project is divided in several consecutive Phases:- Developing a "Research Road Map" including: Baseline Analysis, Visioning, Gap Analysis, Implementation.- Setting up the Conceptual Framework for the DLM-CUBE.- Implementation of the DLM-CUBE.  The horizontal measures and trials are performed in parallel to the research projects and are based on results reached so far at a special stage.

27. Example of an Integrated Project (4) Management:  The CUBE-Project is managed by the CUBE-Management Committee installed by the DLM-Network-EEIG Management Board. The overall coordination is supported by the Steinbeis-Transfer Centre for Information Management and Cultural Heritage Informatics, member of a large European Innovation Transfer Network (Steinbeis). Research Areas are coordinated by "CUBE-Research Area Managers", Projects are managed by "CUBE-Project Managers"; Horizontal Measures are coordinated within the regular operation of the DLM-Network EEIG. Proposer: DLM-Network EEIG, a "European Economic Interest Group" consisting of archives and similar Cultural Heritage related organisations and Research Institutions. The DLM-Network EEIG evolved from the DLM-Forum which has been established in 1996. DLM stands for: "Document Lifecycle Management".
