New Developments in Standards for Digital Preservation

January 31, 2002 (12:00noon - 4:00pm)
National Air and Space Museum
Education Briefing Room
601 Independence Ave SW
Washington, DC

The CIMI Institute is pleased to present a Forum on current activities in
standards development for Digital Preservation.  Come join us for a
discussion about metadata, modeling, and resources with Robin Dale, from
the Research Libraries Group.

While the broadcast, medical and scientific domains have been dealing with
digital preservation for many years, museums, libraries and archives have
just started to understand the complexity of managing and preserving
digital media assets.  We have invited Robin Dale from the Research
Libraries Group to provide an introduction to two important issues related
to digital preservation  metadata and modeling  based on her experience
working with the OCLC-RLG Working Group on Preservation Metadata
(http://www.oclc.org/research/pmwg/) and the Open Archival Information
System (OAIS) Information Model http://www.rlg.org/longterm/attribswg.html

The Forum will begin at 12:00 noon and end at 4:00pm and includes lunch and
afternoon coffee.

Register on-line http://www.cimi.org/ci/ci_0102_forum_reg.html

We look forward to seeing you there.
