The Wessex draft says
Wessex go on to say
Quote:Any archive requires appropriate management to ensure its survival, and with digital information there is no reason why it cannot be preserved indefinitely.I get a bit lost in the reasoning bit. Archiving is the problem bit of the making pictures and making them part of the record to be archived. All the wet chemistry archives are going to be a nightmare to maintain for much longer. What the current situation shows is that the method of making pictures change as well.
Wessex go on to say
Quote:Images will be captured in a RAW format using cameras with manual controls and sensors of at least 10 megapixels. Images will then be converted to uncompressed baseline v.6 TIFF for archiving. All images will have accompanying metadata specifying; photo ID, capture device, converting software, colour space, bit depth, resolution, date of capture, photographer, caption, and any alterations made to the image.Are they saying that this should be the standard? Some cameras now give a gps position.
