How will we access digital data and media in the future? What will it cost to preserve the ever-increasing amount information our societies create? How will data curation be managed?
Come learn about the information technology behind Chronolopis, a national digital preservation research collaboration. Robert McDonald from the San Diego Super Computing Center will speak on this digital preservation environment, a Library of Congress funded co-developed project of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC); the University of California, San Diego Libraries; the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR); and the University of Maryland’s Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS).
