For over a decade, the national media periodically has treated the American
public to horror stories regarding the fate of important documents
available only in digital form. Oft-repeated tales chronicle the loss of
valuable scientific, government, and business data stored on punch cards or
8-inch floppy disks or written in computer languages long dead. At the same
time, we know that the world is becoming increasingly dependent on digital
information. A much-publicized study conducted at the University of
California at Berkeley in 2000 estimated that 93% of the world's yearly
intellectual output is produced in digital form.
