Sergio Gregorio
  DOI :  10.2352/issn.2168-3204.2009.6.1.art00020  Published Online :  January 2009
Abstract

The following paragraphs examine the appropriateness of the expression digital archaeology as it is typically understood by the digital preservation community, discuss conceptual differences between possible meanings and propose an alternative designation (a label) for ‘digital archaeology’. A brief description of terminological methods and applications may help sensitize the community towards the role terminology can play in avoiding linguistic inconsistencies and as an economic asset that provides added value to sustainable digital archives.
