Content Packaging Standards

Content Packaging Event
A workshop was held over two days in Bristol between the 31st of January and the 1st February 2007 for the purpose of delegates reaching a better understanding of the use of content packaging standards to describe complex objects. Delegates will be invited to evaluate the appropriateness of the various content packaging standards in the context of digital repositories.
The overall aim of the workshop is to contribute to summary guidelines on the value and appropriate use of the various content packaging standards to support the exchange of data in relation to repositories.
