Editor's View.(Editorial)
Their time has come
Chatting with the chaps from ICC the other week, I was reminded of how much we are forced to hold back, waiting for technology to evolve. ICC, after all, purchased a microfiche library of Companies House pre-1996 documentation in 1999, but has only now been able to contemplate digitising it on an industrial scale in line with advances in microfiche scanning technology.
Ditto Adobe's XMP technology, which has been around since 2001, but is only just starting to make a wider impact (such as last month's deal with EMC Documentum). XMP, or Extensible Metadata Platform, allows photos to be embedded with their own metaphorical barcodes, containing copyright information, for example.
Technologies have a habit of reaching a tipping point, where they dramatically move into the wider consciousness and usage. Among the examples highlighted in this month's IWR is a major group test of news aggregation applications.
