Always been curious which organisations are active in the field of research, publishing, preservation and funding? PARSE.Insight helps you visualise that! Because of extensive research conducted by the PARSE.Insight project, a lot of information has been gained about organisations in Europe and beyond that play a particular role in research. finding solutions for long-term preservation of digital information. Now that this information is available, we want to give everyone insight into which organisations are involved. To make it easily accessible, we used a mash-up on Google maps for creating a nice visualisation.

The interactive map gives an overview of the organisations we identified as active stakeholders in research. The organisations are classified in four types of stakeholders:

• funding/policy
• research
• preservation
• publishing

The map can help you identifying organisations in the fields of research, preservation, publishing and funding. Especially, the area of preservation is our focus so a lot of information is gained with that in mind. The map also shows the well-covered geographic locations as well as those with less activity in the areas previously defined.

• The interactive map is based on information we found during our research. We did not try to be complete and the map certainly misses particular organisations.
• The geographic accuracy of the dots on the map is on city level. The distribution of organisations within a single city is done randomly as we do not keep track of the exact address.

See the manual with an explanation about how to use the map.

Please send an email to info AT parse-insight DOT eu noting that you would like to add your organisation to the interactive map. Supply us with the following information: name of your organisation, acronym, url to the website, city, country, main R&D activity (if applicable), category (research, preservation, publishing, funding), and which research communities your organisation is active in (if applicable). Finally, denote if it is a national organisation and if it is profit / not-for-profit.

The interactive map includes information given by Digital Preservation Europe (DPE). We would like to thank the organisation of DPE for supplying us their data set.
