Dear all
maybe these projects have been already mentioned earlier in the debate
but just in case it would be good to reference them as they are
"aiming" at dealing with preservation of knowledge, intelligence and
the non permanent work out there, including multimedia performance
1. CASPAR - Cultural, Artistic and Scientific knowledge for
Preservation, Access and Retrieval
http://www.casparpreserves.eu/
" How can digital data still be used and understood in the future when
systems, software, and everyday knowledge continues to change? This is
the CASPAR challenge. CASPAR methodological and technological solution:
is compliant to the OAIS Reference Model - the main standard of
reference in digital preservation
is technology-neutral: the preservation environment could be
implemented using any kind of emerging technology
adopts a distributed, asynchronous, loosely coupled architecture and
each key component is self-contained and portable: it may be deployed
without dependencies on different platform and framework
is domain independent: it could be applied with low additional
effort to multiple domains/contexts.
preserves knowledge and intelligibility, not just the bits
guarantees the integrity and identity of the information preserved
as well as the protection of digital rights"
2. Also Dr K Ng at University of Leeds is part of the CASPAR project
with his work on the Preservation of multimedia performances at http://www.icsrim.org.uk/
"At ICSRiM, we are working on the preservation of interactive
multimedia performances, as part of the contemporary arts testbed of
CASPAR. We are particularly interested in the preservation of
interactive multimedia performances using gesture control systems such
as the Music via Motion system.
We consider ontologies as a semantically rich knowledge base for
preservation and use them to describe complex relationships among
different components of a performance. The ISO standard CIDOC-CRM
ontology is considered for this purpose and extended in various ways
to accommodate specific requirements of preservation of multimedia
performances."
3. OAIS is also interesting
