Brewster Kahle over de eeuwige digitale bibliotheek

Oprichter van het Internet Archive, Brewster Kahle, vertelt in onderstaand interview onder andere over Open Library en zijn wens alle bestaande content te kunnen archiveren.

Can we make a distributed web of books that supports vending and lending? How can our machines learn by reading these materials? Can we reconfigure the information to make interactive question answering machines? Can we learn from past human translations of documents to seed an automatic version? And, can we learn how to do optical character recognition by having billions of correct examples? What compensation systems will best serve creators and networked users? How do we preserve petabytes of changing data?”
