It's about Time: Research Challenges in Digital Archiving and Long-term Preservation, Ⅱ

摘要

It's about time to launch a new research initiative. This initiative will advance computer and information science, archival and library methods, and social and organizational models in connection with digital information. This initiative will address a critical need for reliable, sustainable, and cost effective means to manage digital information essential for discovery of new knowledge. Perhaps most significantly, this initiative will build a foundation for digital preservation practices that government agencies, cultural institutions, businesses, and others urgently require.
