+'''Case Studies'''
+• The Government team is working on a case study on land records, including Maryland land records and geospacial records, with a focus on issues of cooperation between local and state people and groups.
+• Anne Harrison from FEDLINK is also working on a case study on trying to preserve history of legislation: hearings, publications, etc. A description of this content and needs will be drafted in case study format.

+''' Action Items'''
-Notes from a previous meeting of the Content Group:
+• Consider effort toward appraisal: particularly what kind of data needs to be preserved.
-An outcome of the CWG workshop, a need was determined for guidance on appraisal for local government information. This group has since been absorbed into the Government Content Team. http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Content_teams
+• Determine what kind of permanent data is best used in electronic format for future use.
-State and local: Margie sat in on that table and reported out about the discussion. Local government information is a particular concern. Horror stories are really at the local level. Examples from the group: data that appeared on individual’s computers but didn’t realize they had something that wasn’t published elsewhere. Floppy or hard drives. Never preserved. Probably tons of examples. How do we get at that sort of thing? John asked about pre-digital, how was it handled? Is this new to the digital world? Our guess is that it always existed, but with paper content is easier to resurrect. We’re not so sure electronic info is being uncovered when changes take place.
+• Develop the case for records creator’s best practices.
-NEXT STEPS: The group supported the idea of a new action team regarding appraisal of local government information. Margie agreed to lead (with some additional guidance about what the charge of the group will be). Linda and Kitty also agreed to help. Abbie will poll the list to see if others would like to help.
+• Establish best practice for preserving electronic records including replication, integrity checking and migration/format management.
