Information and archive management in Europe

Organised by the Archives de France (part of the French Ministry of Culture and Communication), in partnership with the Association des Archivistes Français and the European Commission, and coming three years after the forum on archive management in Budapest in 2005 (document lifecycle management - DLM), the forum on archiving in Europe will feature a presentation of the new Model Requirements Specification for the Management of Electronic Records (MoReq2), published in February 2008 as an update to the previous specifications.

All those involved in electronic storage and digital conservation - producers, archiving services, service providers, suppliers of software or hardware, consultants, depositories, agencies coordinating e-government activities, and so on - will have an opportunity to speak at this event.

The conference will focus on topics such as:
- cooperation, partnerships and the pooling of resources made necessary by the cost and complexity of digital preservation;
- the emergence of norms and standards and the way they are increasingly taken into account when developing systems for electronic storage;
- questions concerning data security, the certification and audit of existing systems;
- the implied changes to the training and professional activities of archivists.

All these issues will be illustrated through the presentation of real-life developments and practical applications using the entire chain of digital archiving.
