Virtual Media in an OAIS-enabled Environment

Providing access to audiovisual content presents a challenge to both storage, as well as in regard to editing work-load.
Publishing often comes with storing separate copies for specific access contexts. Annotation work can be made easier by presenting the best possible media coherence. Audiovisual archives will seek methods of increasing the efficiency by reducing manual work and employing rule-based methods and work flows. These methods include the possibility to administrate different versions of the same media on a coherent time line and visualization of media objects in an OAIS-enabled environment, thus reducing their storage footprint.
The author will as well demonstrate the modelling of a flexible segmentation rule set supporting heterogeneous content and media types within a unified data model.
