A Practical Approach to Database Archiving

The large and growing volume of data held in an increasing variety of relational databases presents a huge challenge to the archiving community. This hackathon is designed to bridge the gap between digital preservation practitioners and developers. It will provide a forum for practical problem solving and help practitioners to articulate their requirements clearly to developers; and will help developers respond more precisely to the needs of practitioners.
