Examples of these activities include the development of repositories for digital resources, the creation and/or selection of digital assets; creation and management of metadata; file format identification and management, and provision for dissemination and access to digital assets.  Digital curation is a multi-disciplinary area, which has the potential to yield much of relevance to the archival community.
