SUN Conference Day Two (PM)

Repositories and preservation archiving - Art Pasquinelli - a very interesting Digital Library Map setting out the key role of the digital library and respository. There is a community involved in this work SUN PASIG Preservation and Archiving Special Interest Group. Fedora and D-Space are setting up a joint service called Duraspace a mix of cloud based and institution space. I think that our Bradford Scholars repository is underpinned by D-Space? Storage networking industry says that two thirds of content needs to be stored for >100 years - especially relevant to research datasets and special mention of pharmaceuticals. Lots of issues also around identity management and authorisation.
