Archives are changing to meet the demands of an on-line world. These changes have been enabled by the application of new technology. The first 91Èȱ¬ Archives Workshop was held on Monday 30th November at Kingswood Warren to explore these changes and the enabling technologies. There were sixteen presentations from academia, industry and from within the 91Èȱ¬. Presentations covered both technology for archives and the applications of archives, with many of the presentations including on-line demonstrations. Technology presentations included three on the research about various aspects of visual search and image recognition at , and universities, one on the use of fingerprinting to identify video content from , a presentation on quality checking of content, MXF file format and open standards from and a presentation on the use of techniques such as video segmentation and audio recognition to identify events in programmes by .
Applications of archive content in academic research were described in presentations on the project by Glasgow Caledonian University, and by , plus the implementation of the BUFVC archive of broadcast content by , who also described their implementation of the on-line Pathé news film archive. A community application on a communication support system for older people with dementia using archive content was presented by .
Daniel Teruggi described , the French National AV archive and explained the EU collaborative project on digital preservation: it is not safe to assume that content is safe once it is digitised! There was a presentation about the s experiences in digitising content and the gems of old programmes and clips waiting to be discovered.
91Èȱ¬ presentations included a description of the Proteus content workflow management system used in radio; important now that archives need to be integrated into such workflows for TV as well as radio. There was a presentation of an R&D project that links the 91Èȱ¬ archives archive database, called Infax, with an on-line content store that R&D has developed for storing digital TV broadcasts and browse quality copies of the 91Èȱ¬ archive (as the archive is digitised), with the result that programme makers searching the 91Èȱ¬ archive database can now see the content is their browsers.
The workshop ended with a look back at the Archives Hackday that took place at the start of November at Kingswood Warren, where 91Èȱ¬ computer programmers explored new ideas on the use of archive content.
The workshop was a very busy day, attended by about sixty people from the 91Èȱ¬ and other organisation with an interest in archives. It was a good opportunity for people normally busy with their operational work in the archives to see and hear about the new developments and to have a chance to meet and discuss the future of archives with researchers and innovative organisations.
