Managing Digital Objects on the Internet

Abstract

All types of information may be structured as digital objects. These may be subject to rights, require privacy or demand security. Some may be inaccessible without permission (eg. Behind firewalls) may move from place to place, or exist at multiple locations. Some may need to be accessible for very long period of time. An overall framework in which to address these issues will be presented and their revelence to network operations and management will be discussed.
