“Digital Preservation: Setting the Course for a Decade of Change” , a conference keynote from 2007, available now on Slideshare is the ninth of 12 presentations I’ve selected to mark 20 years in Digital Preservation. The remainder will be published at monthly intervals over 2015.
This presentation was the opening keynote to a conference in 2007 held by the Belgian Association of Documentation (BDA) to celebrate its 60th anniversary. It dates from my time at the British Library.
The conference theme was "Europe facing the challenge of the long term conservation of digitalised archives". My keynote synthesised many of the topics I was focussing on at the time (and have featured in some of my earlier slide shares in this series) including encouraging University libraries to engage more actively with research data management in the sciences, to begin developing digital special collections of individuals, and to support international efforts to ensure continuing access and preservation of e-Journals as part of the scholarly record. In addition, given the European focus I briefly covered some of the major European initiatives in digital preservation at that time.
I have selected this presentation as one of the 12 in this series, not only as it is synthesising these key themes but also because it includes some thoughts on whether digital preservation needed to be evolution or revolution (or a bit of both) for libraries and archives.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

6. IDENTIFIED ISSUES Video
• Big diversity between stakeholders (livelihood, raison d’être).
Many objectives at stake which confuses ends and means.
• Large diversity between the size and professional
background of employers:
• Private companies (freelancers, professionals, ROE, B2B and bottom lines are the main
drivers)
• Public institutions (academics, policy makers, public service and publishing are main drivers)
• Many different business and work models at stake
• long term / short term goals
• rights management
• exchange of assets
• in-house post-production
• external post-production.

8. Video ISSUES - WHAT IS MISSING?
• Lack of access-facilities.
• Making it easy to access archive material for a wide variety of uses, including the monetisation of
content, faster access for clip search and a better ability to see what was there and the rights
associated with content.
• Lack of standardisation.
• A desire for consistent management of metadata + for as few codecs as possible, but more generally a
demand for common standards for audio, video and graphics.
• Lack of Automation.
• Solution based on de-humanising the workflow around archive, i.e. automated metadata generation and
intelligent search – the prospect of intelligent software tools searching on content with metadata
generated by intelligent software tools.
• Lack of strong B2B models which contains multiple sorts of end-users
• Lack of knowledge about solutions and opportunities
• Lack of confidence – CLOUD technologies

9. NEEDS FOR TOOLS AND INDUSTRIALISED ACTIONS
• Sharing of preservation systems with defined content processing methods.
• Need for making the tedious stuff automatic, and remove the need to input elementary / common preservation data.
• Strong demand for tools or methods that would make it easy, simple and flexible to
create versions for different destinations.
• Intelligent management of versions, compiling, wrappers etc.
• De-humanising the workflow around archive.
• The prospect of intelligent software tools searching on content with metadata generated by intelligent software tools
• Generic search, tracking and management-tools.
• Tracking of content. More visibility of content as it moves through the workflow – e.g. by using QR-codes (like a DHL-order)
• Outsourcing of distribution and delivery methods
• external as well as internal / in-house
• Sharing of storage solutions in flexible frameworks (SaaS).
• Ability to manage workflows through centralised tooling, such as Cloud-based ones, for preservation, storage, and processing.
• Flexible shopping and distribution facilities

10. Sales
Libraries What footage sales archives do
▪ They exploit commercially their AV holdings by selling clips and footage for use in media productions.
▪ Today they generate revenues for more than $400 million per year
▪ They sell footage, but at the same time they act as an archive, being obliged to practice some kind of
preservation activities.
The Community
▪ Memory Institutions (e.g. Istituto Luce, INA, B&G, Imperial War Museum, British
Pathé):
▪ usually public co-funded
▪ footage sales are not their core business
▪ they have at least a “moral” duty of dealing with long term preservation
▪ Private entities (e.g. Getty Images, ITN Source, Reuters, AP, Huntley Archive):
▪ no public function
▪ footage sales are their core business
▪ market driven with a very pragmatic approach to digital preservation

11. Sales ISTITUTO LUCE CASE
Libraries
Two main archives for digitised films:
▪ 2k digitised film material
▪ DPX files only
▪ Priority given to unique prints, in danger reels
▪ Any digitisation request that involves reels should pass first from here
▪ HD digitised material
▪ ProRes 422
▪ It’s mainly the delivery archives for our clients
▪ It’s generated from the 2k content …or from telecine

PRESERVATION
CHALLENGES
▪ Most of the technical challenges in digital
preservation are similar to the ones of Film archives
and Broadcasters
▪ Special attention is given to descriptive metadata
and rights metadata
…but the big challenge is:
▪ the tension between customer-driven activities/
policies and digital preservation plans

Broadcast archives have massive amounts of
materials. Some say: of low quality. Others say:
it’s the main source for 20th Century history.

16. Domain is highly diverse
▪ Many thousands of broadcast organisations (6379 broadcast
companies in 40 European countries alone!)
▪ Deposit laws are different in each and every country
• National AV Institutions take up tasks of public broadcasters’
archives in some countries
• Commercial broadcasters are left alone
▪ Digitisation progress of legacy formats varies widely
▪ Key moment going on: move from tape to data recording
▪ Meanwhile access formats are on the move

18. Impact on production workflows
!
▪ The archive has never had such an impact on production before
▪ Archives are rebuilding workflows for metadata gathering, from
the first steps of the production chain
▪ Producers need to be ‘taught’ how to work with an all-digital
archive workflow

But is it all digital?
And how many of these still function?
Legacy machinery is drying up – fast.
20. And then, it’s digital
▪ How do you keep track of the preservation process?
▪ Reading bits & pieces
▪ Maintaining quality throughout years of cataloguing
!
Born-digital: New paradigms?
▪ On the fringes of the creation world: the web as storytelling platform
▪ Web has been text-based, becoming increasingly audiovisual
▪ Technological push supported by radio organisations, arte.
▪ What chances, what futures for broadcast organisations?
