Second DELOS Conference on Digital Libraries Event website
Digital preservation with specific focus on the authenticity and reliability of the archival systems. A special attention of my research interests concerns the issues related to the creation of electronic records keeping system (Classification plans, registry systems, policy and procedures for the records creators, metadata for preservation): this interest is strictly related to the idea that the adequate creation of digital records is a relevant requirement for the feasibility of the preservation function. Another aspect of my research activity is related to the educational and training projects in the field of digital resources (mainly of the records and archives).
