hope for cost efficiency in the future

*So Much Data-Who is Combing through it?

Anyone? Anything?

Sustainability of Storage Platforms?

If we have a Star Trek holodeck that can show us the past – the real scientific remains of sites and artifacts as well as the imagined re-created layers in all

temporal forms…what will that mean for site preservation and the devotion of spaces to physical artifacts?

Too Little Information… Too Wrong!…

Too Much Information without means of clarification?

Smithsonian Natural History Museum

British Museum Creationist Museum

Rarely does the archaeologist get to directly write the museum labels…

Digital = Potential for Auto-Publication (and shouldn’t things be available as soon as possible without interference?)

Changing International Legislation Paradigms on cultural access? (a whole new can of worms someone can tackle in a different presentation?)

Not just the descriptives of where it came from, but how it came from there- what technologies were used? In which combination? Under

what conditions?

How was it collected?

We need/want enough information to make digital collection replicable (and therefore more diagnostically viable)

Who collected the raw data?(What qualified them?)

Who processed the data?(What qualified them?)

How did the data get processed?

Who accessed the data?

What did they add/subsequently create from

it?

DEMOCRATIZING THE PAST…

What will 3D Printed Artifacts Mean for Authenticity?

How will this change Storage priorities and conservation legislation?

What will this mean for low-cost educational engagement in schools and museums?
