Some mention has been made on the list with regards to
a "global" list of
classic computer related artifacts, be those documents (manuals), software
bits, other historical ephemera, etc. The concept I've been working with is
defining a standard record format for interchange amongst those that wish to
participate. Think of this as something like ANSI X.12 (Electronic Data
Interchange).
Seth would probably be better qualified to talk about this, but there is an
exchange protocol in LOCKSS that may be useful for this, though it is geared
more towards electronic copies of documents, including province, access
rights, etc. in a distributed content environment.
