Workshop: How do they do that: A primer on audiovisual compression

George Blood

Workshop: Small scale digitisation planning and implementation
Nadja Wallaszkovits and Stefano Cavaglieri

How small, and possibly simple, may a digitization facility be, while still fulfilling most of the recommendations found on the IASA-TC04 guidelines? Of course there are some limits, in terms of technology deployed as well as in financial terms. This workshop will help understanding and planning for such a facility, from A to Z, or better from Ingest to Dissemination, taking a recent real world case as a reference.

Everyone is discussing digitisation, mass storage systems and management of digital collections but the physical documents themselves, the originals, which still constitute the greatest part of our archives, are often forgotten. In this tutorial will be discussed the archiving of physical audiovisual documents, the storage conditions, the organisation, the preparation for digitisation. The Collection Management can not be considered as an isolated duty of function.

The 10th International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval, AMR'2012, will be held on 24-25 October 2012 at the Royal School of Library and Information Science in Copenhagen, Denmark. This 10th anniversary workshop of the series is dedicated to review the developments in the field over the last years. Hence, we welcome especially contributions that will review recent research and current trends in this field.
