' ERPANET Seminar
' Business Models related to Digital Preservation
' Amsterdam, Netherlands
' September 20-22, 2004
'

ERPANET is pleased to announce its seminar focusing on business models related
to digital preservation. This three-day seminar, co-hosted by the
Archiefschool, will be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on September 20-22,
2004.

The seminar will explore the organisation, funding and structuring of digital
preservation in and among organisations. Currently, most organisations are
still very much at the beginning of dealing with digital preservation.
However, in order to be able to establish a solid infrastructure it will be
necessary to have more insight into possible business models. These models
should address for instance organisational, financial, cultural and
collaborative aspects to ensure their sustainability. International experts
will present business models to provide seminar participants with cutting-edge
knowledge.


Audience
This seminar is targeted at those involved in the planning, implementation and
management of digital resources. Those may include programme managers
responsible for setting up and enhancing digital preservation practices in
their organisations; people entrusted with establishing and disseminating
digital collections of long-term value; as well as technological architects
who are establishing a technology environment that supports business models.


Topics to be discussed in the Programme
Opening:  20th September
Topics:
+ sustainability issues
+ different organisational structures, such as distributed/federated archives
+ partnerships
+ funding
+ return on investment
+ costing in digital preservation
Closing:  22nd September

Speakers will present business cases and discuss financial planning, and
different organisational and technological aspects that will help to make
digital preservation sustainable. Speakers include Alan Blunt (SCRAN), Rob
Davies (Public Sector Information; MDR Parners) and Gerry Wall (Wall
Communications).
