The "UNESCO Charter on the Preservation of the Digital Heritage" that was adopted by UNESCO's General Conference at its 32nd session (30 September ? 17 October 2003), provides a policy framework to take up the challnge that more and more of the world's cultural and educational resources are being produced, distributed and accessed in digital form rather than on paper. Born-digital heritage available on-line, including electronic journals, World Wide Web pages or on-line databases, is now part of the world?s cultural heritage. However, digital information is subject to technical obsolescence and physical decay.
