Building a New Digital Archive Management Infrastructure for the RIT School of Film and Animation
The Rochester Institute of Technology's School of Film and Animation in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences has a dedicated archive room and a Storage Area Network for storing student media created to receive class credit. Once submitted, the media may go through several processes, such as public screenings and online streaming, which complicates how the media is categorized. Also, the methods of storing digital and physical assets have become outdated and disorganized due to lack of regular, documented maintenance. To remedy these issues, a workflow that streamlines media and metadata ingest through SOFAtube.cias.rit.edu, a video streaming and media ingest website that is being redesigned in collaboration with the new digital asset management system, will be proposed. The workflow will include open source tools and well-established practices, such as the Open Archive Information System reference model and metadata dictionaries used by other archives.
