D7.1.5 Audiovisual Digital Preservation Status Report 3

Description :The current status of audiovisual preservation as of December 2011 is described. This 2011 report continues the series of technological ‘brief encounters’, lists European developments in 2011 and has a major section on the significance of the fact that audio and video content is, at heart, a signal – and hence fundamentally different from text and general digital data.

D2.1.3 AV Data Model : Final Specification

Description :The PrestoPRIME Audio Visual Data Model provides a specification of the PREMIS-based digital preservation approach implemented by PrestoPRIME, including support for the special digital preservation requirements of audiovisual content. The main objective of the document is to describe the key information package of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) digital preservation standard: the AIP (Archival Information Package) and its constituent pieces, including illustrative examples to assist audiovisual preservation systems implementers.

D2.1.2 Tools for modelling and simulating migration-based preservation

Description :These tools aim at modelling and simulating the costs and risks of using IT storage systems for the long-term archiving of file-based AV assets. The tools include a model of storage costs, the ingest and access of files, the possibility of data corruption and loss from a range of mechanisms, and the impact of having limited resources with which to fulfil access requests and preservation actions.

ID3.4.1 Service Level Agreements for Audiovisual Preservation Services

Description : This document outlines a framework for monitoring and managing services with a service level agreements (SLA) and proposes a complete list of terms suitable for inclusion in the SLA for a preservation service provider. Modelling techniques for service capacity management are discussed and the results of a survey investigating trust issues is presented. Standards and reference models for computer readable SLAs such as WSAgreement are compared and the real world experience of managing the relationship between a preservation service provider and their client is documented.

ID3.3.1 Media formats, identification methods and implementations for multivalent preservation

Description : The objective of this report is to provide guidance on the range and nature of problems in audiovisual digital preservation, and the potential for Multivalent and iRODS technologies to address them. We illustrate how this is the most reliable method, when compared with other alternatives such as file conversions and creating wrappers/bindings to native libraries.

ID3.2.1 : Threats to data integrity from use of large-scale data management environments

Description : Maintaining data integrity when using IT infrastructure for the long-term storage of audiovisual files is a major challenge. This report investigates the threats to files from the use of mass storage technologies (e.g. hard drives in servers and data tapes in robots); how can file corruption can be identified; and how the risk of loss be can assessed.

ID3.1.1 Specification and Design of a Preservation Environment for Audiovisual Content

Description : This report presents the specifications and designs for a framework for a long term preservation system for audiovisual content using migration, based on the OAIS reference model, taking into account the research done for audiovisual needs and also ExLibris’ experience in this area. Highlights of the research include well known standards such as OAIS, PREMIS, & METS as well as a review of tools for metadata extraction and file identification. A major emphasis was placed on designing the system with the ability to integrate the tools that will be developed within the scope of the PrestoPrime project.

Description : This report describes in a formalised way a comprehensive set of processes for digital preservation. These processes are drawn from a series of relevant projects and standards from the preservation community, including OAIS, TRAC, PLANETS and others. The result is intended to be used as a generic baseline that those interested in audiovisual preservation can refer to, extract and customise processes in order to fit with their specific AV preservation needs.
