A Comparison Between Migration and Emulation in Terms of Costs

RLG DigiNews, April 15, 2005 contains a long and informative article entitled "A Comparison Between Migration and Emulation in Terms of Costs." Good stuff in this article. Consider this quote:
Where the conversion of objects to other formats constitutes a considerable cost factor in migration, these costs can be saved when applying emulation. In turn, emulation requires more initial investments, which makes it inappropriate for short-term preservation.
