Hi Mark, If you've not seen this yet, check it out. Parts of it are very relevant, I think, and besides it's a good read!
http://cms.mit.edu/research/theses/KarenVerschooren2007.pdf As Jennifer said, check out the Variable Media Initiative stuff too (that Ippolito and Rinehart contributed to), I think that's a really exciting way to approach this problem. A couple of papers at a recent CHArt conference would have been of interest for you too, and perhaps you can find something published by their authors: Douglas Dodds of the V&A, and Janis Jefferies and Nick Lambert of Goldsmiths College.

To that end, I was wondering if any of you would be willing to share anecdotes about how your museum has dealt with the registration of new media installation art. Do you use written artist questionnaires to document the artist's intent? Interviews? On-site, video-taped walk-throughs? etc. Thanks in advance and please feel free to forward this on to colleagues.
