http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~dlwkshop/paper_hedstrom.pdf

My note:

A good article focusing in this issue. It is a very huge challenge that faces libraries, what makes it worse is the fast growing of digitization.
The question was how to digitize? And now, how to preserve what we have digitized (and also what will be digitized in future) especially for long period of time? Many aspects are involved: economic, social, and institutional as technological.

My note:
- What is XML?
- How is XML used?
- Defining your own tag sets
- Defining the attributes of elements
- Incorporating standard and non-standard text elements

I found this article very useful and it covered most important aspects about XML. The subject itself could be hard and complicated for some readers though.
