Preservation and Long-term Access through Networked Services explained

The Preservation and Long-term Access through Networked Services (PLANETS) project addressed core digital preservation challenges. The primary goal for Planets was to build practical services and tools to help ensure long-term access to digital cultural and scientific assets. The outputs of this European Sixth Framework Programme are, since 2010, sustained by the follow-on organisation, the Open Planets Foundation.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Amongst its higher profile outputs, in 2010, PLANETS deposited a Time Capsule in the vaults of Swiss Fort Knox containing digital data along with instructions on how to retrieve and decode it. ^[4]

In 2012, PLANETS was awarded the Digital Preservation Coalition's award for Research and Innovation. ^[5]
