Liddy Nevile will be presenting on Fit for Human Consumption - Do today’s record preservation formats pass the ‘usable’ test for record keeping frameworks in Australia and New Zealand? on Tuesday
Liddy Nevile graduated in mathematics and law before teaching law for 15 years. In the 1970’s, technology allowed the dull and dry experience of learning about law to be transformed for students into an active, engaging apprenticeship in advocacy based on precedent.
As technologies have transformed human practices, Liddy has, as she says, “experimented with them in a range of contexts in an effort to understand the future into which we are, often, marching headlong without question”.
Liddy was Director of the Sunrise Research Laboratory at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University for most of the 90's.
She has been actively involved with international standards bodies such as W3C, regarding labeling of content and accessibility, the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, the International Standards Organisation ISO, the European Committee for Standardisation CEN, Standards Australia and the Australian Government Locator Service (AGLS) Metadata Standard.
Current particular technical interests are in metadata, accessibility of the digital Web, how computation can help people learn to learn, and how communities can enrich and preserve their culture, with and without digital communications and technologies.
