Traits and trajectories of audiovisual documentation: achievements, challenges and chimeras

Although many analogic audiovisual archives are still awaiting a digitization project that guarantees their preservation and public access, a massive generation of audiovisual content is taking place, once the source has completed the transition to digital production and distribution. The demand for an increasingly diversified production at TV stations is leading to the need to prioritize image retrieval from the archives for reuse. Efficient alternatives for automatic metadata extraction, indexing and searching are sought, and text information to describe images continues to be necessary. The documentary image processing is extremely costly in human resources, with dedication times of two, three or even more times the length of the treated material. In parallel, part of the audiovisual production is indexed during the production process by people other than archivists, librarians or information scientists. Therefore, a transformation of the traditional tasks carried out by the above mentioned professionals is becoming more evident; on the other hand, these professionals continue to be isolated and less hybridized than expected with other labor profiles

De la intermediación a la anticipación: rutas alternativas en la documentación de la producción audiovisual

The documentalist’s role of intermediation between the users and the archive in images searching seems to be undergoing a number of changes. This intermediation, based on a combination of the habits of the users in searching information and the lack of a user friendly orientation in many of the information management systems, contrasts with the general idea of accessibility conveyed by the new digital production systems. This paper analyses the consequences of these changes, and presents a new approach to the relation between documentalists and users based on the anticipation of their information needs, as an alternative to the traditional answer to question scheme. Some ongoing experiences in Antena 3 Television that follow this approach are also described

Transformación y compatibilidad: el documento audiovisual en los archivos municipales

Due to the foreseen increase in the amount of audiovisual footage to be received by the local municipal archives from the audiovisual sector it is deemed necessary that a compatibility policy for the management of said materials be devised for two key issues: the making use and integration of documentary analysis obtained from the original cataloguing organisations, and the maintenance of their current range of services, including the footage to be used in audiovisual production. Likewise, the characteristic features involved in footage analysis are reviewed, in both digital and analogue archives

Elementos diferenciadores de los archivos de televisión en el tránsito hacia la digitalización.

Three are the principal characteristics of the television archives, among the company archives: the predominance of the video materials on professional formats; the link between the archives and the television production flows; and the commitment with historical conservation of the audio-visual memory of their own production, which is also available for commercial purposes. At this moment the management of these archives is immersed in the process of transition towards the digitalization, in which the cycles of production and emission in the television companies are involved. As a result, the traditional functions of the documentary flow and the professional profile of those that are in charge of it are experiencing a transformation, the scope of which is still not entirely known
