Identifiers: New Problems, New Solutions, Part Two: Content Identification: What’s New

Webinar

About the Webinar

Key to storing, finding, using, and preserving content is good identification. The information industry has long relied on content identifiers to make sure that these goals are achieved. With the advent of new technologies, however, we are seeing new challenges in identification: with new formats, new discovery systems and techniques, and new user expectations, the needs in this area are changing. In this webinar, hear three speakers discuss ways that new and familiar content identifiers are being applied in today's environment -- and what we might expect for tomorrow.
