[pure-silver] Re: image permanence

The Australian Government developed a process for archiving electronic 
records claiming 'future-proof' electronic data. So for those people who 
would like a replication of their negatives to have a better chance of 
surviving a terrorist attack or some other cataclysm, this sounds promising.
 "With constantly changing hardware and software, the challenge for
the National
Archives of Australia <http://www.naa.gov.au/> is to find a way to preserve 
valuable electronic records into the future. We have been developing a way 
of ensuring that electronic records can be migrated across changes in 
technology. Our solution is software that converts electronic records into a 
standardised format that can be read by future technology. It is called 
Xena, which stands for XML Electronic Normalising of Archives. XML, which 
stands for Extensible Mark-up Language, is essentially a standard type of 
computer language that does not depend on proprietary software or hardware 
to be read. "
