    <P>In his paper, Lavoie&nbsp;identifies three key decision-making roles present in digital preservation efforts and develops five organizational models characterizing the structure of digital preservation activities. He then uses these roles and models to explore economic issues associated with the incentives to preserve digital materials, and considers several real-world digital preservation initiatives in light of this framework.</P>
