One may be surprised by the fact that we introduce a reflection on the identity of digital poetic works while planning to design a tool to index documents. Yet, the idea of such a tool has followed from the reflection on questions of preservation. These questions have led us to ponder on the nature of these works. Thus, the proposed tool will bare the mark of this reflection. Over the last years, the relation between preservation and indexing has been at the centre of reflections on the preservation of the digital heritage. In that matter, the most important project has been developed by the Guggenheim museum in collaboration with the Langlois foundation. It aims at preserving museum installations that include electronic or digital apparatuses. In this project, as in all the other projects involved in digital preservation, the question of preservation is often treated with regards to the technological obsolescence that threatens every digital media. Then, a technological migration (simulation, recreation, reduplication) is strongly recommended in order to extend these works' lifetime. As a matter of fact, this approach is in keeping with that of variable media, developed by Jon Ippolito (2003,) and which serves as a theoretical basis for general projects of preservation in the technological arts.
