Reuse
existing platforms and methods, immediate & future needs --> reduce
costs
|
|
|
|
It can
be used for looking at
|
|
a)Content creation & publication suggest
best formats to use
|
|
b)Acquisition restrict what is collected, know
in advance how difficult to handle a certain collection may be
|
|
c)Preservation planning migration strategies,
short-term emulation solutions
|
|
Give an
example:
|
|
- PDFs
converted to TIFF images, related together by a METS XML doc
|
|
- Or, if
a collection has 120,000 JPEG images, should they be converted to TIFF?
|
|
|
|
Future use guidelines for expected usage of
formats for collection owners
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compare
TIFF to JPEG: pick TIFF if new objects, dont convert existing JPEG objects.
Format quality is important.
