[Panel] Migrating Repository Islands (to 3:30)

Software, like any technology application, seems to become obsolete as soon as it is implemented. The need to change can come from simple bug fixes and enhancements to significant rewrites that may require changes to data and lengthy migrations. This is especially true when it comes to metadata, which is the “bottom of the iceberg” in many migrations, the unseen challenges that come from the need to effect data normalization and data mappings from one schema to another and more. This panel will provide details of recent migrations between versions of the same repository system, between different repository systems, and via system integration. The opportunities and challenges of data migration will be highlighted.
