Title: RE: DIG IMG SIG: session for MCN 2002?
Hi all,

There may be a session proposal in the works on issues affecting digital image longevity in the relevant layers (as it were) of physical media, disk and file formats, and image metadata, possibly cosponsored by the Digital Imaging SIG and the Standards & Controlled Vocabulary SIG; discussion of this is in the earliest stage, but there should be more news quite soon. Any ideas are welcome!

best,
Rob

Just a thought:
 
Perhaps the Digital Imaging SIG could propose a session on the longevity (or lack thereof) of digital storage media, for the 2002 annual conference?
 
The theme of the conference will be "In it for the long haul --- technology programs that go the distance,"  so this would be an appropriate issue.  Each SIG is to come up with at least one session proposal -- and proposals are due on April 5.  See:
