Description:
People who create, store, query, or serve XML expect it to live a
very long time. In this one-day symposium we will discuss how we can
best ensure that our data, all our data, and its semantics survive
this year, next year, ten years, into the next millennium.
Commercial information may have a useful lifetime measured in years
or decades; cultural-heritage material, scientific data,
governmental data, and historical documents need to be preserved for
centuries; information about nuclear waste products will remain
relevant for hundreds of millennia. It's not enough for the bits to
survive; the meaning of the information needs to survive as well.
Does it suffice to free our data from dependency on specific
platforms or applications? Or is more needed? We will discuss what
we doing and what we should be doing to help our information
survive.
