5.7.8 Time Factor

5.7.8.1 The time required to record an important event or interview can be quite extensive. The time required to preserve a field recording can be reduced to the time it takes to ingest the data and metadata if the field recording approach has been designed properly. If the system depends on manual approaches it is quite likely that much valuable information will be lost due to human error, or lack of resources to undertake this time consuming, but important, archival task.
