RSFA: What We’ve Learned
34
• Let it go:
Compromise, choose whatever will do the least damage over the long term (database, breaks in timecode, quality of cataloguing)
• Automated data import and human cataloguing to organize information logically in systems
• Mediation between Productions and Archives
Overall Lessons Learned
35
• Impact of formats chosen on production teams
• MAM project under way, development of parallel unoptimized process, challenge, deadline
Overall Lessons Learned
36
• Financing
medium- and long-terms strategy will affect intensity of effort required
• Approach to managing heritage and collections
• Other collections to be digitized
Next Steps
37
• Approach, consideration and organization
• Learning gradually with pilot project experiences, benchmarking, and advancement of technology
• Seize all learning opportunities
• Any opportunity to raise awareness among senior management, given investment – pull out all the stops
Conclusion
38
• Diverse expertise approach: credibility
• Awareness of content and usage
Role of archivists, solutions not only for technical side of ingest, overall ingest process including Content Management, storage, longevity, and research & access process
• Key role of archivists in securing long-term conservation: programming representatives
