ramification
Walter Ong wrote a book about Peter Ramus (1515-1575) who is associated with branching diagrams. These instructional binary trees are termed Ramean trees but the older term to ramify, from Latin for branching tree, is not derived from Peter’s invention. Sometimes disassociations connect.
“The AIC Board of Directors announces the results of the member vote on AIC implementing a certification program for conservators.
The vote failed by:58.6% opposed 41.4% in favor 73% of eligible voters cast a vote.”
A mission to advance the work of conservation of historic and artistic works can now ramify into actions without a single reflection on the binary tree of yes and no. Everyone is needed; move on.

source item authentication next?
“Indiana’s renowned Folklore and Ethnomusicology Collection, assembled over decades and valuable for its completeness, is also the first “collection of distinction” recognized by Google as a collection that will retain its coherence in the digital transition. [Indiana University Bloomington Libraries 2007-08 Annual Report]
I had not come across the suggestion that Google would be looking at maintaining whole collection integrity in this way before. It would be interesting to see a list of the collections that will be treated in this way.”

The emergence of authentication status for physical sources simulated on-line can eventually granulate to individual print copies. This not only enhances research trust in on-line simulation but also sustains re-authentication of images across time and cultures.
