Preface to iPRES 2012 Conference Proceedings
From October 1‐5, 2012, the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information was pleased to
host the ninth annual iPRES Conference. Previous conferences were held in Beijing (2004,
2007), Göttingen (2005), Ithaca, NY (2006), London (2008), San Francisco (2009), Vienna
(2010), and Singapore (2011). The next conferences were planned for Lisbon (2013),
Melbourne (2014), and Chapel Hill (2015).
The Organizing Committee was pleased to note that the event continued to garner
significant interest, with well over 100 submissions received from 25 countries around the
world. Most proposals came from the United States and the United Kingdom, but Portugal,
Austria, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands were significant sources of proposals as
well. Four workshops and five tutorial sessions were approved, as well as 42 papers and
two panel presentations delivered during 16 sessions.
The conference hosted three keynote presentations: Steve Knight of the National Library of
New Zealand gave a paper on “Implementing Guidelines for Preservation of Digital
Heritage”; Kevin Ashley, Director of the UK’s Digital Curation Centre on “Good Research,
Good Data, Good Value: the Digital Curation Centre and the Changing Curation Landscape”;
and Yunhyong Kim of blogforever, whose paper was entitled “Digital Preservation: A Game
of Prediction”. Technical sessions at the conference were on central preservation topics like
Preservation Assessment, Training, Preserving Text Objects, Site Reports, Business
Processes, Preservation Environments, Models, Concepts, and Community Approaches.
The conference also hosted an exciting poster/demo session that showcased the excellent
work of some colleagues; presentations by students seemed especially impressive. The
Poster Award went to Jamin Koo and Carol Chou for their presentation entitled “PDF to
PDF/A: Evaluation of Converter Software for Implementation in Digital Repository
Workflow”. The poster/demo session, along with the conference banquet that followed,
proved to be an excellent opportunity for academics, students, industry representatives and
other professionals involved in digital preservation to network and share information.
Two corporate sponsors generously assisted the work of iPRES 2012: ExLibris Rosetta and
Preservica both provided time and resources to the Conference, and deserve considerable
credit for their efforts in the field; the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information
provided not only staff support to the conference, but also funded the first annual poster
award.
The organizing committee was delighted with the success of the conference, and wishes to
note that the conference would not have occurred without the efforts of many members of
the program review committee, who gave generously of their time. The programme and
conference co‐chairs also wish to express their gratitude to the local organisers who did so
much to make the conference a success and to create a welcoming environment for
attendees.
