The management group addresses the challenge of managing 3D data for long-term preservation. This is a problem that many repository managers and creators are grappling with as the technologies for creating it become more accessible. It aims to discuss the unique features of 3D data management, how repository managers and creators are currently wrestling with 3D, and what recommendations–based on current data management standards –should be upheld in 3D data preservation.
