The previous reports concentrated on digitisation, which remains a significant issue. This report will introduce the new problem of digital preservation (arising from the results of digitisation), summarise the access issues for file-based audiovisual content, and summarise the contributions of PrestoPRIME.

PP_WP7_D7.1.3_Annual_AV_Status_R0_v1.00.doc Scope PrestoPRIME is the European publicly-supported project that addresses preservation of digital audiovisual content, and access to audiovisual content in digital libraries, using Europeana as our demonstration platform. This document is the fifth in a series of annual reviews of the status of audiovisual preservation in Europe. The previous four reviews were produced by PrestoSpace. Each has had a specific focus, plus providing a general summary of annual progress toward saving Europe’s audiovisual heritage. The problems of digitisation were highlighted in previous reports, because that was the focus of PrestoSpace – and the main problem facing the people responsible for audiovisual collections. Now that there has been a significant amount of digitisation, and an equally significant amount of ‘born digital’ content entering audiovisual collections, there is a new problem to focus on: digital audiovisual content, with its risks and preservation needs. The document has four sections: 1) A very brief introduction to PrestoPRIME, needed because the rest of the document refers to areas of the work of PrestoPRIME; 2) Digitisation: this remains the biggest problem, as we show that an estimated 80% of audiovisual holdings remain un-digitised. The section summarise the state-of-the-art of technology, current problems, and how PrestoPRIME is building toward sustainable support of digitisation, through the launch of a networked audiovisual competence centre; 3) Digital management and preservation: the problems of files: how to manage them so they don’t get lost or corrupted, or become obsolete and unusable. We also review formal digital preservation technology, including how it applies to audiovisual content, and the role of PrestoPRIME in filling the gaps in current technology. There is one specific section (3.5) on a problem unique to audiovisual content: material that is digital, but not in files – and what to do about it; 4) Access, which is the goal and payoff of all digitisation, preservation, conservation and archive management activity. There are specific problems – and potentials – for audiovisual content that are not widely found, if at all, in conventional digital libraries with their focus on text (or still images) and documents. Again, state-of-the-art is reviewed and the contribution of PrestoPRIME is described.

  • Show Sags, Technology Too
    April 2002 / Volume 15#4 / Issue No. 171 CeBIT 2002 SHOW SAGS, TECHNOLOGY TOO Less major technological innovation, fewer booths and a lot fewer people. For the first time since 1975, the number of exhibitors shrank at CeBIT. Why? (Special report from Jean-Jacques Maleval in Hanover, Germany) No need for panic among the owners of this major event. CeBIT (cebit.de), extended from 7 to 8 days, is still far and away the largest computer show in the world. Nevertheless, overall participation shrank, notwithstanding organiz- ers’ projections of a record 8,316 booths and 810,000 visitors. This year, in fact, there were 131 or 2% fewer booths compared to the previous year. From 2001 to 2002, attendance figures fell significantly, by 18% to roughly 700,000. The trams, the restaurants, the city streets, parking lots, press room and expo floor were decidedly less crowded than last year (much to CEBIT’S GROWTH FROM 1993 TO 2002 the relief of those won- dering how CeBIT could possibly handle more people). Several possible reasons All major general com- puter expos have been hurt this year, and CeBIT was perhaps the least hit. Many are beginning to ask themselves why bother to travel when all the information is a click away on the Internet. It (1) Source: StorageNewsletter (2) Source: CeBIT * estimated doesn’t help, further- more, that the worldwide IT economy is shrinking. Nor is the city of Hanover the best-suited to welcome such an event (and no doubt past visitors have vivid and unpleasant memories of the crowds and the inconvenience).

  • Program,CDP’
    Tape Libraries and NAS Devices Covered under New ‘Cash for Junkers’ Program We have all heard of the pressures that the current economic downturn is having on companies. Since the beginning of the year, Wall Street Journal, Forrester Research and others have told us that spending on information-technology goods and services for this year is declining or will be declining. But these same outlets are also predicting the current bad economic times are coming to an end and that technology spending will increase again in 2010 across various categories to the degree of 7-10 percent. Despite this forecasted turnaround, some small- and medium- sized businesses (SMBs) can’t sit idle that long. SMBs still must manage data growth and protect more information regardless of economic conditions. So while many parts of a company can limp along through tough economic times, not continually updating the technology in their corporate data centers puts them at a decided disadvantage in supporting their business. As we enter into the fourth quarter of 2009, it seems that some companies are starting to loosen their IT budgets. Companies are still scrutinizing every dollar they spend, however, so they are trying to figure out how to get more for less and still solve their current data growth problems. In that vein, Overland Storage is doing its part to assure companies make every dollar that they spend count, at least in the area of data protection. In a “Cash for Junkers” program that Overland announced last week, the company is offering trade-in allowances for tape libraries and NAS devices when customers purchase a new NEO® E-Series tape library or Snap Server® NAS storage device.
