Material and Methods
The methodology is qualitative, with an exploratory
and bibliographical research method. Literature
searches in databases and journals of Information
Science around the terms digital curation, digital
preservation and collaborative web, and exploitation
of the digital environment of the digital environment
studied were performed.
Results and discussion
According to Siebra et al. (2013), various
preservation solutions of digital information have
been thought out and considered successful, such
as emulation, migration and encapsulation.
However, knowing these techniques is not sufficient
and it is necessary to consider an integrated
Isolated application of digital preservation
techniques may compromise the proper treatment of

Digital Curation brings an integrated approach of
actions that cover the entire life cycle of the digital
object, which, combined with actions already taken
by the archival science, promotes a more
appropriate treatment of digital information in terms
of organization, preservation and access. For the
archival information produced in the digital
environment of the project Jugando a Definir la
Ciencia, the Digital Curation would be of great
importance to promote access, retrieval and
preservation of long-term digital objects generated
during the project execution.
