DAVID D3.3 - Final IT-based tools and strategies for avoiding, mitigating and recovering from digital AV loss & final conceptual risk management framework and tools for digital AV preservation

This is the final report from the DAVID project on IT-based tools, strategies and risk management for digital Audio-visual (AV) preservation.Digitised and born-digital AV content presents new challenges for preservation and long-term quality assurance. Archives have rapidly developed strategies for avoiding, mitigating and recovering from digital AV loss using IT-based systems. The problems affecting digital AV content and the strategies against AV loss adopted by INA and ORF are discussed in this report.A risk-based framework based on the essential properties of AV assets and documented preservation metadata is required to determine how best to minimise the risk of digital damage. This report presents a conceptual risk management framework responding to the requirements of archive risk management, and presents a set of tools developed by the DAVID partners. This report also contains a specific use case of a real-life MXF repair process at ORF, showing how risk modelling and simulation can be used in practice
