Longevity/Archival Issues


  • For NAP, the book page is the "authoritative, archival version" -- intrinsic to our Openbook approach
  • Proofreading care is greater for book than in electronic versions (page image)
  • 300 years is possible with print; not yet provable for electronic versions (even XML)
  • Most special access systems designed with a 5 year life span
  • NAP XML in TEI Lite, which can generate rich book-length PDF and other formats
