I’ll be speaking on November 16 at Digital Asset Management Los Angeles 2010. I’m going to talk about the way the cultural heritage sector evaluates systems, focusing on our inevitable need to make a transition between technological platforms. I think this can create a dynamic where vendors are trying to sell best of breed technology, but our need for reliable ingest and export of our assets (metadata especially) trumps all. In those cases, both groups lose out. We end up with subpar systems, and developers lose the opportunity to work with our sector. And as I’ve said many times, the library, archive and museum sector has cool people and interesting stuff in abundance.
