Digital preservation of mass media artifacts: Technologies and challenges
Tóm tắt
There is a need to digitize the large reservoir of broadcast archives, at reasonable cost using modern digital technology. An archive sees itself as having four functions, namely Collection, Preservation, Organization and Dissemination or Access. This paper focuses on providing some guidelines for an integrated approach to producing sustainable digital assets with graceful access for better return on investment and distribution. The crux of the matter is access. A highly accessible digital artifact is much more valuable than a physical artifact locked in a shelf accumulating dust. With the digitization of the audio-visual broadcast archive, this paper addresses the issues of Preservation, Restoration, Metadata Access and Delivery, Storage, Archive and Information Rights Management.
