The goal for this working group is to identify, establish, and disseminate information about standards and practices for the digital reformatting of audio-visual materials by federal agencies. The effort will cover sound and video recordings and will consider the inclusion of motion picture film as the project proceeds. The main focus of the work is on older materials, with the formatting born-digital content to be considered where strong synergy exists. Topic areas include formatting, metadata, and related practices and methodology.
