Managing Information on the Net: the Digital Object Architecture

Dr. Robert E. Kahn,CEO and President of CNRI
Winner of National Medal of Technology and ACM Turing Award

Date/Time: August 26, 2005 (Friday), 2pm
(Reception immediately follows the lecture)

Location: Life Sciences Annex Auditorium, LSU

Abstract of the Lecture:

Dr. Kahn will discuss an architectural approach to managing information on the net. In particular, he will focus on applications where the information may need to be persist over very long periods of time and where it may be moved many times from site to site and platform to platform over its lifetime. A critical aspect of the architecture is identification of the information, known as Digital Objects. The architecture of the Handle System will be presented and its role a general purpose resolution engine will be discussed. An open architecture approach to federated repositories will also be discussed along with applications of the technology.
