That's interesting William,

Can I ask 2 questions? Taking it that there are (from my perspective);

1. around 30 conferences per month around the world covering portions of
this kind of interest = AV content - its capture, edit, dissemination,
response and long term preservation, and
2. Most are not streamed, broadcast (by a National broadcaster) or captured,
(although this is increasing with ustream and similar) and
3. Most encourage viewers to "join them", at different times, in different
places (url),

Do you think there is any hope that one day we might see an approach, which
looks at classifying the node(s) from which similar types of conferences are
streamed, so global communities-of-interest can discover one another &
coordinate their activities? 

If this approach were to gain currency, would it be possible for a curator
to provide, for example, a bibliographic number for this conference's node?
(so the streams could be archived in situ).

Regards,
simon

Subject: [dcc-associates] Preserving Digital Sound and Vision Briefing Day,
8th April

Dear all,

I'm pleased to report that the DPC briefing day on Preserving Digital Sound
and Vision in London on 8th April is now fully booked.  You can follow the
meeting live via the #sound&vision hashtag on twitter, and we'll be
publishing a report of the event and also the presentations shortly
afterwards.

We've not advertised it very widely as DPC members have priority access and
it was clear early on that it would fill quickly.  But we've retained a
couple of places in case DPC members may have missed the announcement:

* If you work for DPC member agency but missed the registration window, then
follow this link:
http://www.dpconline.org/events/details/27-SoundAndVision?xref=26
* If you're not a member but would like to join the DPC in order to attend,
then follow this link: http://www.dpconline.org/join-us

Looking forward to a great day!

William
