The European Long Term Data Preservation (LTDP) Common Guidelines collect the best practices and experience in EO data preservation from experienced EO data owners.

The scope of Long Term Data Preservation as intended in the guidelines is not limited to the preservation of the data in the archives but also of the capabilities to generate products from the archived data and includes therefore also processing aspects. The insurance and facilitation of access, respecting the individual entities applicable data policies, and exploitation of the archived data are also part of the guidelines. Data access policies are on the other hand not part of the European LTDP Common Guidelines.

This site aims to be the technical node where all EO partners can exchange their knowledge.
