Benign Neglect: Developing Life Rafts for Digital Content	2011-06-01	4	.pdf	application/pdf	3077	132	44	This is an acknowledgment of current resource limitations relative to the burgeon- ing quantities of digital content that need to be preserved. However, a short survey of some of the leading efforts clarifies for even the casual observer that implementation of the proposed standards is beyond many of those who are creating or hosting digital content, particularly because of restrictions on acceptable formats, requirements for extensive metadata in specific XML encodings, need for programmers for implementation, costs for participation, or simply a lack of a clear set of steps for the unini- tiated to follow (examples include: Planets, PREMIS, DCC, CASPAR, iRods, Sound Directions, HathiTrust).1 The deluge of digital content coupled with the lack of funding for digital preservation and exacerbated by the expanding variety of formats, makes the application of extensive standards and extraordinary techniques beyond the reach of the majority.	cache/ital-3006.pdf	txt/ital-3006.txt
