Morning
Session 5 : Digital Data
"Born digital" data was the first type of digital source material; today it is a major category of primary source material, even as the universe of digital materials expands exponentially. The projected importance of XML as an enabling technology in the NII offers immense prospects for tapping the robust, large scale and flexible capabilities of data-based technologies for managing and accessing data stored in a variety of formats. New technologies also create opportunities for records creators, archives, and libraries to collaborate in offering services for digital data.
