advanced information lifecycle management system, which will serve as an
international model for the implementation of digital repositories and
preservation management. We do not want to fail the future by leaving a gap in New
Zealand's history because we were too slow or unwilling to confront the
challenge of digital preservation now," added Carnaby. This development of a best practice in
digital preservation should be reusable by Sun Microsystems through its global
reference architecture program.
