abstract: In this paper we present a case study and selected results
  from a research on digital preservation amongst digital
  libraries in Europe. We propose a framework for gap
  analysis in digital preservation encompassing the
  diffusion of preservation practices and the life-cycle of
  data. We also present a Gap Analysis Tool that we
  developed to support visual analysis of gaps in the
  implementation of digital preservation amongst
  communities. We discuss selected results from the
  application of the tool in the community of libraries in
  Europe.
