FROM THE WEBSITE:
"As we enter the new millennium, many organisations and individuals
share concerns about our ability to bring with us the vast array of
digital materials accumulated in libraries, archives, museums and
other cultural and heritage organisations. Preservation 2000
promises to bring together experts and enthusiasts from a variety of
disciplines and organisations to discuss and debate recent advances
in this critical area. This state of the art conference will make
the most of both the interdisciplinary and international dimensions
which are key to facing the challenges imposed by long term access to
digital objects.
"The aim of the conference is to facilitate meaningful dialogue
between the wide array of organisations and individuals currently
working with digital archives and preservation. The main goal for
the conference is to share, disseminate and discuss current key
issues concerning the preservation of digital materials.
"The conference will focus the programme around three main strands:
** Models for digital archives including technical and organisational issues
related to access and management
** Economic and Cost Modelling for digital preservation
** Content and selection issues for long term preservation
"A call for papers was issued earlier this year and reviewing is now
taking place. A provisional programme will be available in early
August which is likely to include:
** Exemplars for the establishment of digital archives systems and services
** Management practices commonly required by libraries and archives
in addressing the
longevity of digital collections
** Business models for digital archives (e.g. collaborative or
federated repositories)
** Frameworks for the development of digital collection management
policies including
selection or materials
** Intellectual property rights: digital preservation issues
** Security, authentication and authenticity in digital archives
** Electronic publishing and digital archives"
Information Infrastructures for Digital Preservation: A One-Day
workshop, 6 December 2000
"In addition, a one-day workshop will be held in conjunction with the
conference which will focus on the necessary information
infrastructure for preserving digital materials over the long term.
This intensive day will include presentations and papers on current
work in digital preservation metadata and standards for description
as well as provide an opportunity for those interested in the area to
participate in discussions and debate concerning developments in this
key area. A maximum of 60 places are available for the workshop.
"The conference and workshop have been costed separately but a single
fee is also available to cover attendance at both events."
