Editor's Notes
- The term derives from a cartoon published in the humorous British magazine Punch in 1895 In its original context, the term refers to something that is obviously and essentially bad —but its supposed good features credited with undue redeeming power In some ways I see this as a metaphor for how we as a society practice the curation of information In general things are a mess – but we find things from time to time – so perhaps maybe it’s not so bad afterall…
- I am not sure how many people know, but curate was originally a noun Back in the 14th century when this term originated information was scarce The church was really the only place where information was collected, stored and disseminated
- This is the traditional definition of curate, the VERB that we know and (hopefully) love There is proactiveness about the word – taking charge There is a sense of making choices – some are items are shown, some are not There is a sense of directive and – perhaps dangerously – of a singular view
- In that light, information was sacrosanct – something to be revered In some senses it was literally the word of God But in another, perhaps in a less altruistic sense, it meant control Control over what was saved, seen and as we know - destroyed
- In that light, information was sacrosanct – something to be revered In some senses it was literally the word of God But in another, perhaps in a less altruistic sense, it meant control Control over what was saved, seen and as we know - destroyed
- And boy has it come back We have omacasa sushi – we allow our meal to be programmed by the chef We have curated twitter feeds People present a curated life on FB and there are curators and tastemakers
- This explosion of data has not only exacerbated the need for curation It’s made literal stars out of those that do it best We see Questlove here – one of Rick Utley’s favorites – essentially a digital DJ Look at the text in the heading from Wired Magazine in March of this year (read heading)
- So how much data do we need to curate? (read slide) –Hobbit comment after first bullet Now I know you SMPTE guys are chuckling – 1TB a day – 365TB a year is less than a single 4K feature Yes, but the it’s not just the size of your files boys…it’s how you use them….
- And what other industries are seeing is trouble And interestingly it’s less about file size and more about file count!
- Perhaps the most egregious example of the need for and move to curation can be seen in the legal space around what’s called eDiscovery Gone are the days when a company is sued and they turn over 5 or 10 bankers boxes of files Now organizations are having to search through millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of pieces of electronic data to uncover potential liability Prestigious RAND corp who normally figures out how many people will survive a nuclear attack or what the cost to land on Saturn would be…
- Why we have digital dilemmas – presumption is that we keep it all! But I have a problem with this definition…
- If we take the univ of illinois definition and express it graphically We need to add the notion of deletion But how we delete and what we delete and when we delete are all critical question
- Why we have digital dilemmas – presumption is that we keep it all! But I have a problem with this definition…
- Now I know (and hope) not everyone in the room is from Hollywood Quick history lesson on why we are where we are with both physical and digital assets
- Then came television – and since videotape was expensive – we re-recorded over early episodes of programs like The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson
- Oh, and re-used the tape from that little trip we made back in July 1969
- Now I know (and hope) not everyone in the room is from Hollywood Quick history lesson on why we are where we are with both physical and digital assets
- AND I MEAN EVERYTHING!
- Note the scale – there is an eight fold decrease in the cost/GB but a million time increase in total data! (1 Zettabyte is 1 million petabytes) Same for digital storage – costs coming down, but volume growing exponentially
- Now I know (and hope) not everyone in the room is from Hollywood Quick history lesson on why we are where we are with both physical and digital assets
- If we take the univ of illinois definition and express it graphically We need to add the notion of deletion But how we delete and what we delete and when we delete are all critical question
- Our people are still our core asset -We have over 400 people in the company – vast majority on site 100+ at library of congress, Nearly 50 at ABC News in NY Major law firms, energy companies
- Positive Steps…from people at Paramount, Sony, Warner and Disney
- A role that several individuals in this room could play – and in many ways do – just without that seat I think they deserve.
