The period from the advent of the compact disc in 1982 to the first significant file-sharing system in 1999 saw the greatest period of profitability in the history of recorded music. The decade since 1999 has seen an equally radical collapse. What seems obvious in hindsight was largely ignored at the time. The very efficiency of digital reproduction and distribution promised or threatened to eliminate scarcity, and hence threaten the possibility of market exchange in informational goods.

DigitalWorld 2010 is a federated event focusing on advanced topics concerning all digital aspects in our society.
This half-day workshop, led by JISC ( www.jisc.ac.uk ) and the Arts & Humanities e-Science Support Centre (AHeSSC – www.ahessc.ac.uk ), aims to stimulate discussion around the creative and research uses of e-Science tools and methods (so-called grid technologies, and technologies integrated with them such as data-mining, simulation and visualization) in the arts & humanities within the UK.
The workshop will focus on how the take-up of e-Science is developing new areas of research in the arts & humanities community, including the performing arts, and humanities research.

Database Workshop
Dr John Bovey (University of Kent, Canterbury)
‘The RBAE Online Database: What does it provide now and how should it develop in the future?’
Managing projects is now a core role for many cultural and heritage professionals but it can seem a daunting prospect. This one day course, delivered by established heritage professional, Elizabeth Oxborrow-Cowen, introduces delegates to the fundamental concepts and tools to enable them to start managing small projects effectively and confidently.
The day will cover:
· What is a project?
Defining when something is or is not a project.
· How to define success for your project

"There’s so much [to preserve / conserve / digitize] … people need skills in how you select the right materials … how you make the decisions and what you have to bear in mind" Focus group research into preservation training needs, June 2009.
Small group discussion amongst invited participants to consider the challenges of successful preservation of new media art, digital art, and performance. We aimed to consider firstly the current situation in practice, thought and funding in this area in the UK, and then go on to identify opportunites for further research and concomitant funding.
A summary of the day's discussion is attached.
We hope to continue this conversation amongst new media art, digital art and performance practitioners, artists, researchers, collectors, curators and funders.

New Delhi * 23 – 26 February 2010
A key part of improving information management is to know what information you hold. Information audits enable you to identify what information you organisation has, where it is and who is responsible for it. This practical one day session covers the different approaches that can be taken to audit your information and how to analyse and present the results.
The workshop will cover:
* Purpose & use of an information audit
* Options for carrying out an audit
- Scalability for large & small museums
- Quantitative & qualitative results)
This conference invites a re-evaluation of the role of maps and mapping practices in cultural explorations of urban space and memory. We invite contributions from across a broad interdisciplinary field, drawing together scholars and practitioners working in film and cultural studies, architecture, geography, urban studies, as well as those with interests in social and cultural memory, archival practice and urban heritage. Of special interest are contributions addressing the role of film and film historiography in relation to place, landscape and urban memory.

Web 2.0 and the Social Web are terms which are now being used widely. But what do these terms mean? And what, if anything, can Web 2.0 and the Social Web offer to museums, libraries and archives, especially small organisations with limited budgets and technical expertise?
This workshop will attempt to answer these questions. As well as demystifying the terms and the technologies, the workshop will also address the challenges which institutions may face in seeking to make use of Web 2.0 to support the needs of their users.
Aim
Now that many important materials are in a digital form, building an accessible online media collection which successfully delivers images, sounds, video and other media is a goal of many institutions.
Until recently, expensive Digital Asset Management systems where the most viable option, but now open source server applications such as Dspace, Omeka and Drupal hold the promise of truly interoperable and standards-based collection management.

The application of new computational techniques and visualisation technologies in the Arts & Humanities are resulting in new approaches and methodologies for the study of traditional and new corpora of Arts and Humanities materials, sometimes called the Digital Humanities. This new 'computational turn' takes the methods and techniques from computer science to create new ways of distant and close readings of texts (e.g. Moretti).

With the evolution of technologies for three-dimensional data acquisition, data handling and data representation, the future for three-dimensional geodata has already begun.
Three-dimensional City, Landscape and Terrain models are new or used differently than before. Whereas small size projects typically may start from scratch, this is currently unfeasible for country-wide models. Here existing 2D (cartographic) data has to be taken into account in order to derive valuable three-dimensional information.
The conference deals with the opportunities and challenges of
