Subject:
The JPEG2000 in Archives and Libraries Interest Group of
the LITA division
of ALA is
pleased to present a program on Archiving in Practice with JPEG2000 on Sunday, June 29th from 8am to 10am in Ballroom E,
Lead Presentation
Mr. Justin Dávila, Digital Media
Workflow, Business and Technology Consultant, will start the program with an
overview of the JPEG2000 technology followed by a review of projects that use
JPEG2000 for still and moving images. Special emphasis will be placed on the
concept of "visually lossless" compression -- a middle-ground between
mathematically lossless compression and lossy compression. Projects and
technologies to be reviewed include the Dance Heritage Coalition, Library of
Congress, National Institute of Health/National Library of Medicine, and the
Sony 4k Digital Cinema Projectors.
JPEG2000 Lightning Talks
Following Mr. Dávila's
presentation, members of the audience are invited to contribute to the
discussion by presenting 5-minute "lightning talks" on a project or
technology in the cultural heritage arena. The "lightning talk" format is an adaptation of the "unconference" meeting style. The concept is to have
self-selected presenters talk on a topic of interest to the audience for no
more than five minutes at a time. The goal is to give an inch deep and mile
wide perspective on topics that can be the start of follow-up conversations among
the presenters and members of the audience.
Due to the quick nature of the
lightning talk format, presenters are strongly encouraged to bring presentation
materials on a USB flash drive or download them from the web to avoid the
complications of laptop switching. It is anticipated that wireless access will be available in the meeting room.
Suggested topics include:
- Descriptions
of other visually lossless experiments or extended comments on the topic
- Overview
of a project using JPEG2000 as an archival master format
- Overview
of a project using JPEG2000 as an access master format (using some other
format as an archive master)
- Advantages
and Disadvantages of embedding metadata into the JPEG2000 file
- Tests
of quantitative measurements of JPEG2000 quality
- Use
of Motion JPEG2000 in the cultural heritage arena
- Differences
between JPEG2000 Part 1 (JP2) and Part 2 (JPX), and the complications of
proprietary color profiles

System for the Automated Migration of Media Assets. It is an industrial robotic
system for digitizing large tape collections, prototyped at
Mr. Dávila's undergraduate degree
was in philosophy with a focus on philosophy of science and computer science at
About the JPEG2000 in Archives and
Libraries Interest Group
Established in 2005, the j2kIG
supports education, development, and advocacy activities for the adoption of
the JPEG 2000 image standard in archives and libraries. Activities of the
interest group can be tracked on the IG section of the JPEG2000 in
Archives and Libraries website and on the j2kArcLib-L
