As computers are integrated into every aspect of modern organisations, much of the information that used to be stored on paper is being moved to digital storage systems. These offer many new ways to organise, access and analyse documents, providing organisations with novel sources of valuable information. However, if implemented badly, e-archiving can be worse than paper, with valuable data lost forever or winding up in the wrong hands. As a result, digital libraries and e-archiving are now a hot topic in political, business, scientific and cultural circles.
Taking advantage of EGEE’06, a major gathering in Geneva of over 500 experts on Grid technology, Rezonance has organised a special First on this topic in collaboration with CERN openlab and EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE), Europe’s largest Grid infrastructure project. Grid technology provides seamless access to distributed data and processing capacity on a global scale, and is a promising infrastructure for digital libraries to share information – either within businesses and international organisations or within virtual organisations, such as scientific communities, or even with the general public, providing access to cultural heritage via the Internet.
OBJECTIVES
The event features experts from CERN, WHO, leading digital library and e-archiving research initiatives in Europe, and solution providers from the IT industry. They will outline the state-of-the-art, illustrating their presentations with examples from communities and organisations with enormous amounts of documents that must be digitised. Whether you are facing e-archiving challenges, developing digital library solutions, or simply keen to keep abreast of this fast-moving field, this event will provide you with a glimpse of the future. And the future is paperless. Really!
