D6.6.1 Current state of 3D object digital preservation and gap-analysis report ; DURAARK - Durable Architectural Knowledge ; FP7 - ICT - Digital Preservation
This deliverable identifies gaps in existing processes for the digital preservation of 3D
objects. The gap analysis is approached through an in-depth analysis of two areas.
One area is that of fundamental digital preservation tools and processes regardless of
their content type. It describes processes and standards adapted by the global digital
preservation community and implemented in archives of varying domains, e.g., archives
dealing predominantly with e-publications as well as AV-archives. The second area is
that of current existing processes for the digital preservation of 3D objects. It describes
aspects and challenges which are uniquely tied to the long-term archiving process of this
content-type and lists existing tools and standards. The gaps are identified through a
comparison of the content type agnostic and the 3D-specific state of the art description
