We started the meeting with a presentation from members Mitch Brodsky and Barbara Haws at the New York Philharmonic. They discussed the digital collections at the NYP, provided a demo of their site, and discussed their efforts to tackle born digital collections, and how those can relate to the past. Slides from their presentation are here: [[file:NYPhil_CWG_020514.pdf]] | |||
Questions for the presenters followed. There was a question about digital scores produced by music composition software, are they collecting those? No, not yet, Orchestra isn't using them. Another question revolved around the preservation piece, which is challenging. Access is key for obtaining funding. What is the preservation strategy for digital assets? For digital conversion collections, they create TIFFs and JPEGS, and use the Alfresco Repository to serve them up. They keep the originals so can always refer back to them if the digital goes bad. For born digital, they've done some work with photos. They don't come with TIFFs usually but have JPEGs. They are questioning the necessity of keeping TIFFs overall (there was some discussion of this). Alfresco has versioning control; they are just getting their feet wet with all of this - more questions than answers. They are doing some tests with photos to integrated digitized content with born. Audio experiences have informed preservation - there are no archivial formats. Making it accessible keeps the files alive. | |||

''NDSA has created a matrix to be used for the technical components of preservation (http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndsa/activities/levels.html).

We started the meeting with a presentation from members Mitch Brodsky and Barbara Haws at the New York Philharmonic. They discussed the digital collections at the NYP, provided a demo of their site, and discussed their efforts to tackle born digital collections, and how those can relate to the past. Slides from their presentation are here: File:NYPhil CWG 020514.pdf
Questions for the presenters followed. There was a question about digital scores produced by music composition software, are they collecting those? No, not yet, Orchestra isn't using them. Another question revolved around the preservation piece, which is challenging. Access is key for obtaining funding. What is the preservation strategy for digital assets? For digital conversion collections, they create TIFFs and JPEGS, and use the Alfresco Repository to serve them up. They keep the originals so can always refer back to them if the digital goes bad. For born digital, they've done some work with photos. They don't come with TIFFs usually but have JPEGs. They are questioning the necessity of keeping TIFFs overall (there was some discussion of this). Alfresco has versioning control; they are just getting their feet wet with all of this - more questions than answers. They are doing some tests with photos to integrated digitized content with born. Audio experiences have informed preservation - there are no archivial formats. Making it accessible keeps the files alive.
We then had a few updates from the Content Teams:
Christie reported that the Science team's case studies are almost ready to be published. Abbie reported that the content team facilitators met recently to discuss the progress of the teams and ways in which people could work together.
Bradley Daigle then pitched his idea that was posted to the listserv recently:
