JPEG2000 Workshop, London, 25 Jun 2007

Via Antony Theobald's message, the U.K.'s Digital Preservation Coalition and the British Library will be holding a workshop in June on JPEG2000. From the workshop announcement page:

This forum will look more into the details of the standard and expert speakers who are familiar with the standard or have implemented it will share their experiences. The forum will also include industry experts to talk about the creation of the file formats. Delegates will learn about the benefits of the standard, especially with regard to digital preservation and whether it is worth implementing it within their own institutions as an image storage format. Guest speakers include Bill Comstock, Harvard College Library, Christoph Becker, Vienna University of Technology, Manfred Thaller, Cologne University and Jim King, Adobe.

Who should attend the workshop?

Digital Repository Developers, Library and Archives professionals, Digital Preservation (technology watchers) future trends, Information Managers (public sector) and anyone with large numbers of images within their institutions or companies.
