In a follow up to James Currall's plenary talk on "The Tangled Web is but a Fleeting Dream ...but then again..." this session will discuss the challenges of Web preservation (what should we actually preserve?; what about IPR? and how do we address the technical challenges?). The session will review some of the approachs to the preservation of static content which were addressed at the first of the JISC PoWR workshops which was organised by the JISC-funded Preservation of Web Resources (PoWR) project. The workshop will go on to explore some of the adaditional challenges being posed by Web 2.0. The session was facilitated by Marieke Guy and Brian Kelly, UKOLN, University of Bath.

Web content is increasingly produced by authors without extensive web design skills - whether by staff using CMSs, VLEs and courseware or by students publishing their coursework online. The challenge of making sure this content is as accessible as possible becomes much more significant, and inevitably a burden on the individual or institution. The quality of the authoring tool in supporting accessible content creation becomes critical - however support for the W3C's Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) by authoring tool vendors seems to be seen as a specific (and usually low priority) customer request rather than a fundamental quality of the tool. For institutions considering selecting a VLE, CMS or other tool that supports web content publication, how can they best express accessibility requirements so that the tool takes its share of responsibility for accessible output? And if existing tools fall short of ATAG conformance, how can the effect of this on the accessibility of content best be managed? The session was facilitated by David Sloan, University of Dundee.

A sponsors page containing details of the sponsorship packages available has now been set up. Interested parties should contact the organisers. [2006-08-24]
