I'm interested in your statement one message back:
Now, when the
software-hardware environment in which the object is generated and or
kept
begins to become obsolete, we upgrade it. This means that we are
changing
the bit-stream of the object, much of its form, and much of the
information
linked to the object.
I'm not a technician and am often struggling with this, but what I had
understood from listening to various people talk on this subject is that
we can fairly easily preserve/maintain the bit-stream, but that
rendering it authentically is the problem. Would you please comment
further on this?
