Database Applications for Server-Centered News Production

A completely integrated television news production system, which produces video, audio, and text for news programs will require comprehensive and flexible database management tools. The purpose of this paper is to examine the various needs for database management, describe a potential set of features, and define the operational procedures likely to be encountered in a server-centered production system complete with robotic near-line storage. — The paper will examine issues surrounding the use of multiple separate databases and how they are linked and kept synchronized. Database redundancy and administration will be reviewed along with an analysis of the key responsibilities for the database administrator/librarian. The paper will consider the major elements of database customization on a per-site basis.
