The document summarizes a presentation given by David F. Flanders about digital infrastructure innovation and the future of archives. It discusses how archives can innovate with limited budgets in the short term by improving search engine optimization, using application programming interfaces, and engaging communities. In the medium term, archives can prepare for increased budgets by crowdsourcing content and metadata from communities. Long term innovations may include addressing why digitization is endless, understanding how context is missing from the web, embracing open licensing, and preparing for technologies like augmented reality.

Editor's Notes
- Janet, JISC Collections, JISC Advance, Content Services ( data centres ) = services ( central services ? )
- The above quote is mashed up with the first sentence being said by Dr. Les Carr and the second sentence in reposnce being said by Dr. Christina Tuke Flanders
- Opening the fortress Working at web scale Digging deep Embracing user generated content Harnessing implicit intentions Approaching real time [ from the Survive or Thrive workshop ]
- How integrated into the Web are you? Net Skills Do you really understand what easy access is? – JISC TechDis Do you really know what Usability (UX) is? - Remote Recombined – build into essays, dissertations, blog posts, research Do you know what free information is our there to reuse – JISC Strategic Content Alliance The Mobile Web Tidle Wave is coming – JISC TechWatch Do you have the policy in place to enable your content to be part of the web – Resource Discovery Taskforce (RDTF) Okay so the Web - has completely turned our world on its head – it has brought with it the cliché of both challenges and opportunities. So we can get to information faster, more quickly and in shared spaces outside of our institutions – it’s global. It has given us more access and less control. The Web has even challenged the organisation , how it operates and its boundaries. So how do we do business in that changed environment and way of interacting.
- Digitisation needs to be much more open – exposing raw digitised data via API Data needs to be brought together via websites (e.g. http://www.history.ac.uk/projects/connected-histories ) or via tools and services on the cloud ( http://www.diggingintodata.org/ projects) But this takes new skills from developers and librarians and researchers Also, there is not really a community of researchers who know how to exploit APIs and build new interfaces yet - we need to encourage this kind of thing
