Full title of the presentation: Media Asset Management: Challenges and Considerations Related to Balancing Operational and Long Term Archiving Needs

Digital media are frequently produced and widely used at the University of Notre Dame (UND) for education, research, special events, faith-based services and athletic competitions and performances. UND’s media products range from photographs and simple sound or video capture to sophisticated footage appropriate for national broadcasts. UND's video assets are estimated to measure ~2PB at present, and growing. This talk will present our effort in developing a common solution for the lifecycle management of video assets, and specifically the challenges and considerations related to long-term archiving and digital preservation. The focus will be on balancing operational and long term archiving needs and the topic will be approached from organizational as well as technical perspectives, including a discussion on the current Digital Asset Management applications and their (lack of) support for long-term archiving and preservation.
