That's a great link, Mr. Borbinha. Thank you.

The menu of subjects of the conference is impressive:

"Long-term storage and access architectures for digital publications
Formats and standards for preservation of digital information.
Preservation of digital information formats.
Metadata standards for preservation.
Preservation of metadata and other contextual information.
Information retrieval in archived collections.
Reliability, authenticity and intellectual preservation in media
migration.
Digital document genres and preservation (policies and criteria).
Preserving electronic publications (content) versus manifestations
(presentation).
Organizational challenges and strategies in archiving of digital
information.
Managing change in an digital repository environment
National challenges and strategies in archiving of digital information.
The legal deposit of digital publications.
Commercial protection and public interest in the access to (legal)
deposit collections.
Longevity of digital media (CD-ROM, magnetic media, optical media,
etc.).
Preservation of hardware dependent digital information (games, CBTs,
etc.).
Preserving information through digitalization. "

The US likes to think it's the leader in matters digital, but I wouldn't be
surprised if Europe wound up leading the way in digital preservation.
