9 An earlier important guideline is IFLA’s Guidelines for Digitization Projects for collections and holdings in the public domain, particularly those held by libraries and archives ( http://archive.ifla.org/VII/s19/pubs/digit-guide.pdf); aspects of the digitization of medieval manuscripts are discussed in detail in Bacher, Fabian, Ikas & Schreiber (2008).

19 There is a substantial number of recommendations and current practices in the context of digitization activities, but most of these are related to text/printed documents. A convenient summary is found in Parkoła (2014), a paper published in the Eu‘s Succeed project on digitisation standards, see http://www.succeed-project.eu/. On metadata standards for manuscripts and their interoperability in the semantic web, see the Eu-funded DM2E-Project (http://dm2e.eu).

23 The German competence network for digital preservation is called NESTOR; for its activities see http://www.langzeitarchivierung.de/Subsites/nestor/EN/Home/home and Schrimpf & Keitel (2014). For a national strategy for the longterm archiving of library materials, a call for proposals has been issued by the DFG in July 2013: http://www.dfg.de/download/pdf/foerderung/programme/lis/ausschreibung_ueberregionale_informationsservices_131115.pdf.
