National Agenda 2015

• Soliciting new Research Ideas for the next agenda
• Ideas:
  • Delivery of complex objects via emulation -- complex in that they aren’t packaged but instead distributed and thus their mappings may also need preservation
  • Research on algorithmic screening or assessment of privacy or copyright information
  • Research on named entity recognition (NER), natural language processing (NLP), semantic text analysis, topic modeling, etc, for automating archival description (or as wayfinding/pathway discovery mechanism)
