Abstract:
There are now relatively new systems and functionalities aimed at digital legacy management. In this paper, our objective is to analyze the domain of digital legacy management systems from three perspectives: the theoretical, the systemic and the users’. Due to the complexity of those systems, these perspectives were analyzed jointly and in an exploratory approach. Therefore, this article proposes the following classification of digital legacy management systems: dedicated systems and integrated systems. The innovative results from this study allow software developers to better understand important issues concerning the complex cultural practices in this domain, thus contributing to a rich discussion on those systems, their requirements and limits to their development.
