We are delighted to now be a member of the DLM Forum. I’m looking foward to engaging with the Forum’s international community as we look at new challenges and opportunities for data, archive, and document lifecycle management. I’m particularly excited about exploring the opportunities for applying AI/ML methods in these settings.
We are looking towards joining the eArchiving initiative. It is taking the next step on a ten year journey to make it easier for organisations to preserve, migrate, reuse, and trust digital information over the long term. The team is developing software, tools, and standards that support interoperability across archiving systems. They are also providing a conformance specification and implementing tools to check system conformance. In addition to the web pages on the EC’s Digital Strategy site, there is additional information on the e-Ark Foundation site.
We are looking towards joining the DLM Forum. The Forum is a vibrant community of public archives and interested parties from across government, commercial, academic and voluntary sectors who are active in information governance, including archives, records, document and information lifecycle management. It was founded by the European Commission and first met in 1996. Today it is a not-for-profit foundation providing industry specifications, participating in activities and serving members from all over Europe and the rest of the world.
