Future Perfect 2012
The Digital Preservation by Design theme of the Future Perfect 2012 conference seeks to stimulate discussion about how, when and why influencing the design of systems can support digital preservation and ultimately ensure that today’s information is available tomorrow.
Successful preservation of digital content relies on the integration of preservation requirements into the design of systems. Digital preservation experience and research has progressed and the size and diversity of digital content has grown, and we must actively influence the development of a wide variety of tools and workflows across the information life cycle to ensure that preservation requirements are met.
Future Perfect 2012 will connect across disciplines and domains and will be of value and interest to information technologists, records and information managers, enterprise content architects, developers, academics, librarians and archivists.
This conference is aimed at those with an interest in digital preservation, digital continuity, open standards and open data (particularly government data), metadata, public sector information, technology management and archiving.
Conference participants will:
- be presented with case studies and research representing the top digital preservation activities, both in New Zealand and internationally
- learn firsthand from practitioners the lessons of current and developing digital preservation activities
- build networks that enable community members to connect with experts and learn about developments in digital continuity
- increase knowledge of design principles and strategies that participants can implement in their own environments
