Thursday, August 30, 2007 2:45 PM-4:15 PM Gold Room

Geospatial data, remote sensor data, and other types of scientific records must be preserved and made accessible to support replication of research results, but these data often reside in dynamic and interactive systems that present significant recordkeeping and preservation challenges. The presenters discuss results of InterPARES 2 research into preservation of electronic records in the sciences, with an emphasis on geospatial and geomatic records, and offer possible preservation strategies for use by scientific institutions and digital repositories. Although the emphasis in this session is on the sciences, the discussion has implications for general electronic records preservation.
