Jim Lindner Presents Interactive Poster
at 2nd Annual Imaging Science & Technology
Archiving Conference
Washington DC – April 28, 2005 --
Jim Lindner, Managing Member of Media Matters
and internationally respected authority on the
preservation and migration of magnetic media,
took part in the Interactive Poster Session at
the 2005 Imaging Science & Technology (IS&T)
Archiving Conference in Washington DC. The title
of his poster, and the paper he co-authored for
the IS&T's 2005 Archiving Conference catalog,
is Moving Beyond Manual Media Migration: An examination
of how automation can improve on traditional media
migration practices.
This second conference hosted by the Imaging
Science & Technology Association solely dedicated
to archiving issues in the field of imaging brought
together a diverse group of attendees from academia,
industry, museums, libraries, government institutions,
and not-for-profit organizations. The goal was
to build a unique international community that
brings together multiple organizations and specialties
in the domain of archiving and preservation to
promote the exchange of information across specialties
in the field.
The Interactive Poster session is a key feature
of the conference and provides the opportunity
for presenters and attendees to mingle and discuss
results presented using a variety of media formats.
Mr. Lindner’s poster illustrated the issues
and concerns regarding traditional media migration
methods and how the process can be significantly
improved through automation.
The paper, co-authored by Mr. Lindner and Gilad
Rosner, systems integrator at Media Matters, explores
the subject in depth and examines how traditional
migration methods fail on many different levels
when migrating large videotape collection. It
summarizes how this process can be streamlined
by creating a “preservation factory”
approach and how this can be accomplished through
automated processes.
Media Matters LLC has over a dozen years of expertise
with media migration, and is dedicated to taking
traditional migration strategies into the 21st
century by researching, developing, and deploying
cutting-edge digital media technology focused
specifically on the needs of archives and the
challenges of magnetic media. Working closely
with the Library of Congress, the EU’s PrestoSpace
consortium, and other international organizations,
Media Matters is developing next-generation processes
and standards for automated media migration.
