Abstract: With the advent of end-to-end tapeless production and distribution, the concept of what it means to archive audiovisual content is being challenged. The traditional role of the archive as a repository for material after broadcast is changing as a result of digital file-based technologies and high-speed networking. Rather than being at the end of the production chain, the archive is becoming an integral part of the production process and is being absorbed into wider digital storage environments, including those distributed or used across organizational boundaries. This paper presents some of the work done in the U.K. AVATARm project on service-oriented approaches to digital permanence and preservation of audiovisual content. The main focus is how to specify and govern federated storage services to ensure the long-term safety, security, and accessibility of audiovisual assets in a managed and cost-effective way.

bio
Matthew Addis is a research leader and project manager at the University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre. Through both national and European collaborative R&D projects, Addis has spent more than ten years working with broadcast and film archives to develop strategies, models, tools, and systems for audiovisual restoration, preservation, and digital archiving. Addis currently works on service-oriented approaches to distributed archiving and storage for media-centric applications. His other work includes multimedia digital library technology and developing cost and business models for the preservation and access of cultural-heritage content. Addis has a Ph.D. in physics.

bio
Richard Lowe is a research engineer at the University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre. Since 2005, Lowe has developed software tools for U.K. and European R&D projects in cultural heritage, digital media, post-production, archiving, and grid- and cloud-based computing applications. Before joining IT Innovation, Lowe read for a Masters by Thesis at the University of Hull where he also gained a B.Sc. (Hons) in computer science.
L. Middleton
bio
Lee Middleton has a Ph.D. from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, specializing in computer vision where he derived a novel addressing scheme and associated framework for hexagonally sampled images. He moved to the University of Southampton (U.K.) initially to take a research fellow position in biometrics and then to work at the IT Innovation Centre. During this time Middleton has worked on projects that include biometric schemes for gait recognition; a vision based environment for capture of face and gait; human detection and tracking in video; and data replication strategies for long-term storage of audiovisual data. He is a reviewer for several IEEE journals (IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and PAMI) and conferences.

Charlotte Norlund has a background in computer systems engineering and spacecraft technology, initially working as a research engineer at the University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre. During her tenure at the IT Innovation Centre she worked with broadcast and film archives, developing models, tools and systems for digital archiving and also worked with the interoperability of in-situ sensors and sensor networks. Norlund has a keen interest in large-scale modeling and simulation and is currently completing a Ph.D. in astronautics at the University of Southampton, where she is looking at large-scale disaster modeling and evacuation simulation modeling.
