In Austin and Maryland this June, the University of Maine’s Marilyn Lutz presented progress by the Forging the Future alliance on new ways to share data among separate repositories, including the Media Art Notation System (MANS) developed by Rick Rinehart and the Forging the Future Metaserver, a sort of ISBN for art under construction by John Bell and Craig Dietrich.
Marilyn’s presentations included Digital Humanities 2009, co-organized by Forging the Future consultant Matthew Kirschenbaum at the University of Maryland from June 20-25, 2009; and the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL 2009), “Designing tomorrow, preserving the past–today,” in Austin, Texas from June 15-19, 2009.
