NOTES: The
combination of standards such as METS and PREMIS gives us the beginnings of
a powerful framework for addressing long-term preservation of digital content,
but I don’t think we’re done building that framework yet. There are
several lingering issues that we must confront before we can really claim to
be doing a decent job of insuring digital information’s longevity.
