Welcome to the Community Standards for 3D Data Preservation (CS3DP)!
Background
Creation and use of 3D applications and data in research over the last decade leading has exploded, but at the same time, there has been little available guidance regarding the preservation of 3D digital objects and associated information in perpetuity. Stewardship of research data is a necessary, invaluable responsibility that libraries and museums are committed to, but because standards and best practices have not been developed for 3D data, it’s difficult for institutions to do it well. To approach this as a community who can explore the problem together, the CS3DP convened a qualified group of experts and key stakeholders, including librarians, researchers and professionals in adjacent fields from the United States and abroad.
Philosophy
CS3DP aims to be open, radically inclusive and collaborative. It was developed for and is governed by its members.
