About the Conference
The E-ARK Conference brought together inspiring keynote speakers with presentations on the innovative standards and tools developed by the project. Over the three days attendees gained a detailed understanding of the practical solutions offered by E-ARK outcomes. On the third day, there was an opportunity to gain direct hands-on experience of the E-ARK tools and solutions.
Day One took a strategic overview of the issues faced within the e-government arena, including presentations on the E-ARK pilots and maturity model, as well as a panel session on sustainability featuring a number of industry experts.
Day Two focused on the project’s technical outcomes including preservation of databases, scientific data and other “big data”. Finally, Day Three offered a smaller group of attendees the chance to gain a hands-on introduction to deploying E-ARK solutions in a series of workshops.
