HATII Research
HATII's research concentrates in the areas of technologies, methods, and theoretical developments that enable (a) access-by combining context and hierarchy with interoperable metadata to improve information management and use, (b) content analysis and appraisal-by exploring the applicability of the records continuum paradigm, of the functional analysis of information systems and re-examining basic assumptions about archival theory and practice in the light of knowledge management, (c) evaluation and impact methodologies-for the use of digital resources in research, and (d) preservation-by developing, and evaluating techniques and technologies and defining strategies that provide curators and content owners with access to best practice guidelines and appropriate technology services.
