LIFE3: A predictive costing tool for digital collections
Predicting the costs of long-term digital preservation is a crucial yet complex task for even the largest repositories and institutions. For smaller projects and individual researchers faced with preservation requirements, the problem is even more overwhelming, as they lack the accumulated experience of the former. Yet being able to estimate...Hole, Brian ; Lin, Li ; McCann, Patrick ; Wheatley, Paul

A Latinised Arabic for All? Issues of representation, purpose and audience
This paper reviews two major issues which account for much of the variation in representing Arabic using Latin characters. Since the Latinisation of Arabic entails encoding additional phonetic information(by adding short vowels), how we choose to represent Arabic for Latinisation becomes a central issue. This representation may either reflect the...Aboelezz, Mariam
