The PASIG is focused on 1) addressing practical preservation questions, 2) hearing about best practices and new technologies from global experts, 3) investigating the convergence of on-premise architectures and the Cloud, 4) how to set up, initiate, and audit the metrics of a preservation project, 5) key global project updates, and 6) solution provider and end customer collaboration. PASIG is a highly collaborative and interactive forum and generally attracts a large contingent of new participants. Session Overviews include: - Digital Preservation Bootcamp Training in concepts, issues, tools, strategies & approaches for Digital Preservation and Archiving. - Open Preservation Foundation Workshop: veraPDF - definitive, open source PDF/A validation for digital preservationists - PKX / Practitioners Knowledge Exchange: Case Studies in Preservation & Archiving Architectures and Operations - Lightning Talks - The Frontiers of Preservation Discussions on the recent developments and challenges facing those who are tackling digital preservation. - Industry Collaboration and Solution Vendor Presentations - Project Updates and Digital Preservation Community Developments - Hardening Existing Systems with Preservation Capabilities We would like to thank the sponsors: Arkivum, Cray, The Digital Preservation Network, Ex Libris, Oracle, Preservica, P&A Consult, and T-Systems.
