Digital Media Group (DMG)
Mission:
The Digital Media Group fosters interoperable access to digital
media through the development of metrology and open standards.
|
The overall goal of DMG Projects is to develop the basic metrology
and standards to improve the reliability, interoperability, and
quality of digital media. Digital media technology covers a wide
spectrum of areas; initially the DMG will focus on the following
projects, which are based on the needs of industry and government
and the expertise and resources available within the scope of IAD:
- Digital Physical Media and Devices
- research and develop
standard methodology and measurements to ensure reliability,
longevity, and interoperability of physical media and its devices, and to determine the migration paths for future data preservation.
- Digital Media Quality
- research and develop metrology
and standards for motion image quality.
- Digital Media Content
- research and develop open
standards for content description technology to index and
retrieve media contents, with content access management.
In addition, DMG projects will continue to engage and evaluate new
emerging technologies so that the new standards and test methodologies
can be developed, and improvement to all our existing projects and
the overall digital media technology can be achieved.
