SCOPE

This Special Session focuses on the findings and preliminary findings of two international projects: one, the InterPARES (International Research on Permanent and Authentic Records in Electronic Systems) project, supported by Canada’s Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and two, the PAPIS (Pervasive Accountability to Pervasive Information Systems) project, the second phase of the Records-Centered Digital Information Management Theory and Mechanisms (DI{R}Mtm), supported by China’s Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities and the Research Funds of Renmin University of China (15XNL032). The InterPARES project has been examining the impact of digital technology on digital records since the 1990s and the PAPIS project aims at responding to the increasingly pervasive technology presence with a firm stance that takes the view of the general public.

Research that falls generally into the scope of managing digital information in today’s ever changing digital environment is also very much welcomed.

Topics of Interest
  • Responding to Digital Technology: the Path of InterPARES
  • Research on Balancing Theories and Mechanisms to Pervasive Information Systems: A Call for Collaboration
  • Trusting the Internet and Social Media Resources in the Post-Trust World
  • Managing Health Information in the Cloud
  • Following What Technology is Stating: News Summarization and Analysis
  • Technology and Information: The Development of Government Integrity in China
  • Technology, Health Information and Personal Data: the Setting up a Medical Treatment Partnership System in China
