DAY 1, November 15, 2004
The National Archives and Records Administration at College Park, Maryland: Auditorium
Welcome: John Carlin, Archivist of the United States.
Panel 1: Grid Technologies: Foundations for Preservation Environments
This panel explores methods for using grid technologies to support preservation environments. The grid technologies considered in this session include data grids for managing heterogeneity, portals for managing interfaces to evolving grid services standards, Data Format Description Language (DFDL) for characterizing encoding formats, and grid workflow environments for automating application of archival processes. The session presentations highlight data grids enabling highly scalable, federated preservation environments.
