PrestoSpace - Preservation towards storage and access. Standardised Practices for Audiovisual Contents in Europe
du site W3 : "L'objectif du projet est de fournir des systèmes intégrés et des solutions techniques pour la sauvegarde en numérique de tous types de collections audiovisuelles.
Le projet prévoit de fournir des résultats tangibles dans le domaine de la sauvegarde, de la restauration, de la gestion du stockage et des archives, de la description des contenus, de la livraison et de l'accès aux contenus. On veillera particulièrement à intégrer les facteurs économiques dans la mise en oeuvre des services de sauvegarde.
Le but principal est d'aider à construire des usines de sauvegarde, permettant de fournir des services accessibles à tous conservateurs d'archives afin de gérer et de donner accès à leurs collections."
Digital Preservation of Moving Image Material?
Digital Preservation of Moving Image Material?
Digital imaging and broadband networks are changing the moving image production and distribution process. In response to these changes, preservationists need to not only re-think some of their daily practices, but also need to engage in some fundamental paradigm shifts in how they view the preservation process. This article first describes some of the technological-induced changes in moving image production and distribution. It then discusses how those changes are altering viewer habits and expectations, and how those in turn affect how we will need to deliver and store moving image materials. Then the article explains the various approaches to preserving digital materials. Finally, the author points to two paradigm shifts that will be likely for moving image preservation: from preserving completed works as a whole to asset management, and from preserving an artifact to preserving disembodied content.

Du document : "Le projet de Charte est une déclaration de principes axée sur les questions de sensibilisation et de politique générale, les questions
techniques étant traitées dans les Principes directeurs pour la préservation du patrimoine numérique, élaborés pour l'UNESCO par la Bibliothèque nationale d'Australie.

numérique et l'accès à ce patrimoine."
Digital Document Quarterly (DDQ)
Digital Document Quarterly (DDQ)
"In the industrial nations, nearly every business, government, and academic document starts in a digital form, even if it is eventually published and saved on paper. The Digital Document Quarterly (DDQ) will treat quality for digital documents-books, newspapers, scholarly papers, scientific tables, legal briefs, medical charts, engineering designs, and government and business records-the carriers for many kinds of information. Our topic touches the welfare of every citizen. DDQ will focus, at least during 2002, on the problems that "trust", "trustworthy", and "trusted" imply and on trustworthy digital mechanisms-and their limitations. Can you trust e-mail or what you read on the World Wide Web? How can you persuade people to trust what you send?"
Preservation in the Age of Large-Scale Digitization
Preservation in the Age of Large-Scale Digitization
The digitization of millions of books under programs such as Google Book Search and Microsoft Live Search Books is dramatically expanding our ability to search and find information. The aim of these large-scale projects-to make content accessible-is interwoven with the question of how one keeps that content, whether digital or print, fit for use over time.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at...Digital Preservation
Thirteen Ways of Looking at...Digital Preservation
The focus of digital preservation has shifted away from the need to take immediate action to "rescue" threatened materials, and toward the realization that perpetuating digital materials over the long-term involves the observance of careful digital asset management practices diffused throughout the information lifecycle. This in turn requires us to look at digital preservation not just as a mechanism for ensuring bit sequences created today are renderable tomorrow, but as a process operating in concert with the full range of services supporting digital information environments, as well as the overarching economic, legal, and social contexts. In short, we must look at digital preservation in many different ways.
