OVERVIEW
The PANIC (Preservation
webservices Architecture for Newmedia and Interactive
Collections) project is one of the current research activities
being undertaken by the MAENAD
group at DSTC.
The goal is to provide
an Integrated Preservation Framework which supports:
- Very large, heterogeneous, distributed collections
- Multiple formats
- Changing organizational needs
- Which is flexible and adaptable
- That supports new emerging formats, software, recommendations
- Incorporates recommender services/decision support
- And is cost-effective
| Using a variety
of case studies the key objectives are to: |
- Compare emulation,
migration and metadata approaches to multimedia preservation;
- Determine the
optimum media formats, authoring tools, metadata & preservation
processes to maximize longevity, accessibility and preservation
of multimedia objects;
- Develop recommendations
and guidelines for multimedia content creators and collecting
agencies;
- Implement metadata
schemas, metadata capture tools, workflows for capturing essential
metadata and automating preservation actions;
- Implement a
Preservation Web Services Architecture that delivers:
|
|
- Automatic
notification services when a preservation action is required;
- OWL-S
ontologies for describing and discovering preservation web
services;
- Automatic
discovery and invocation of the most appropriate preservation
service(s) based on user or organizational requirements;
- Automatic
composition of composite preservation services by choreographing
simple services.
