We’ve invited members of the IEEE’s Mass Storage Systems and Technologies workgroup on digital preservation to join with SNIA members in reviewing the requirements for long-term retention and preservation. If you would like to participate in this discussion, please go to the DMF Community’s site and register to access it.
This is an important conversation as we need to update these requirements and then extend them further as we consider the implications of bringing technologies and architectures to market to solve the two ‘holy grail’ problems of preservation – logical and physical migration. Please participate.
