[padg] Re: FW: ALA Annual Conference 2008: Archiving in Practice with JPEG2000 (Sunday, 8am to 10am)
I can't ever go to ALA summer because it
conflicts with a program I do on campus. I
usually read the descriptions and covet. Maybe
they will do something at ALA midwinter. Thanks for the heads up.

The
<http://www.lita.org/ala/lita/litamembership/litaigs/jpeg2000/jk2kig.cfm>JPEG2000
in Archives and Libraries Interest Group of the
<http://www.lita.org/>LITA division of
<http://www.ala.org/>ALA is pleased to present a
program on Archiving in Practice with JPEG2000
on Sunday, June 29th from 8am to 10am in Ballroom E, Anaheim Convention Center.
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
"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_talk>lightning
talk" format is an adaptation of the
"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference>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
<http://wikis.ala.org/annual2008/index.php/Wifi>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
About the primary speaker
Justin Dávila is an independent, respected
consulting authority in the areas of large-scale
audiovisual digitization techniques and digital
media technologies. He is a strategic technology
and business consulting professional with
expertise in P&L, operations, product
development, marketing, which can be applied to
archives. He has a unique technical
specialization in digital media and distribution
technologies. He has performed application
development and database design for large, medium, and small collections.
Recently, Mr. Dávila helped propel a small
company from start-up, as the first hire, to a
leading automated videotape digitization system,
by co-inventing and developing SAMMA?, the
System for the Automated Migration of Media
Assets. It is an industrial robotic system for
digitizing large tape collections, prototyped at
Yale University's Fortunoff Collection for
Holocaust Testimonials, and used by the Library
of Congress in it?s new National Audiovisual
Conservation Center (NAVCC) in Culpeper, VA, using JPEG2000 technologies.
Mr. Dávila's undergraduate degree was in
philosophy with a focus on philosophy of science
and computer science at Florida Atlantic
University, and his master's studies were in
cognitive science and artificial intelligence
through the Gallatin Graduate School of
Individualized Studies at New York University.
