Digital sound processing preservation: impact on digital archives
Pages 177 - 182
Abstract
Preserving digital sound processing raises concerns about current archival practices in terms of a theoretical framework and a model for digital archives. This paper aims to specify these issues from both points of view, and to identify limitations to overcome. We propose a framework that will consider meaningful usability as a preservation goal. We propose to implement it within the conceptual framework of 'significant knowledge' and lifecycle awareness from the perspective of a digital archives model. This implies accounting for the tacit knowledge involved in the production process as well as knowledge interactions among numerous agents, both human and non-human.
