• The proliferation of born-digital audiovisual formats and codecs
• Planning for the necessary technical infrastructure needed to ingest and manage the large digital collections being created and acquired at sound and audiovisual archives worldwide
• Intellectual property rights
• Metadata strategies for time-based media objects
• Providing meaningful and useful access to sound and audiovisual collections for researchers of all kinds and in all locations
