Abstract
Much has been written about Authenticity . However in order to create tools which can be relied upon and which are practical we must achieve the following
authenticity (plural authenticities)
 1. The quality of being genuine or not corrupted from the original.
  I hereby certify that this is an authentic copy.
 2. Truthfulness of origins, attributions, commitments, sincerity, and intentions.
  The painting was not authentic after all; it was just a copy.
 3. (obsolete) The quality of being authentic (of established authority).
  (Wiktionary definition from http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/authenticity downloaded 14 Aug 2010)
Authenticity is a fundamental issue for the long-term preservation of digital objects: the relevance of authenticity as a preliminary and central requirement has been investigated by many international projects. Some focused on long-term preservation of authentic digital records in the e-government environment, and in scientific and cultural domains.
