Declarative programming for Digital Preservationists @ NTTW8

Just released on the No Time to Wait (NTTW) YouTube channel is my presentation from NTTW8 in Karlsruhe, Germany. (Slides also available here).

Some of my reflections on the presentation are below.

A great write up from Francesca at TNA about the past year for PRONOM via Georgia at the OPF.

The paper won the Sigrid McCausland Emerging Writers Award late in 2018.
