The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has made the next three Technology Watch Guidance Notes in the new 'Data Type' series available on general release today. The topics covered in the set are: 3D Data<http://doi.org/10.7207/twgn21-14>, CAD files<http://doi.org/10.7207/twgn21-15> and GIS Data<http://doi.org/10.7207/twgn21-16>. Authored by staff at Artefactual Systems in collaboration with the DPC and developed in conjunction with the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, each of the Guidance Notes in the Data Type series is designed to provide a primer on the current state of community knowledge about types of data commonly encountered by those seeking to preserve digital holdings. Paul Wheatley, Head of Research and Practice for the DPC and co-editor of the series says: "There is so much information about the preservation of different types of data out there, but it can be hard for the practitioner to know where to start or to find the right resources. These notes are intended to provide a basic level of information but also point people to other useful references on the topic. We are really keen to hear feedback from the community both now and in the future so that we can maintain these notes as a useful resource for the community."
