Into the Future: Sustainable Access to the National Review of Live Art Digital Archive

通过在线向远程用户提供资源，该项目旨在提高可持续性和互操作性，并深入扩展现场艺术视频档案的国家审查的可访问性，该档案已通过AHRC资源增强资金进行数字化。这个国际公认的当代现场艺术和表演的领先节日的数字化将被更新，并在最后一个节日（2010年3月）完成，这样数据集将是完整和确定的。选定的作品将与艺术家合作，通过表演艺术文献系统（PADS）为未来保存他们的作品建模，从而为用户开发特定文件的元数据的深度和细节，并为其他在线档案馆，艺术家和策展人使用建模方法。应用艺术研究系统语义工具（STARS）将使公众能够参与制作用户生成的元数据，互动和整个剧院收藏范围内的表演文件的管理，并为其他档案提供可转移的模型。将创建一个定制的虚拟研究环境，在该环境中使用和重新使用这些数据。重新思考使用这些网络技术提供和处理存档信息的方式，将产生新的理解形式，既包括文件和记录本身，也包括在线使用其他类型档案材料的方法，为未来的大量研究创造潜力，不仅在绩效文件和绩效历史方面，而且在其他领域。这将通过一个跨学科的团队来实现，该团队由各自领域的领先专家组成：学术，专业和技术。

By making the resource available to remote users online, the project aims to enhance the sustainability and interoperability and profoundly extend the accessibility of the National Review of Live Art Video Archive, which has been digitised through AHRC Resource Enhancement funding. The digitisation of this internationally recognised, leading festival of contemporary live art and performance will be brought up to date and completed with the final festival (March 2010), such that the dataset will be complete and definitive. Selected works will be used in collaboration with the artists to model how their works should be preserved for the future via the Performing Arts Documentation System (PADS), thus developing the depth and detail of metadata available to users around specific documents and modelling approaches of use to other online archives, artists and curators. Applying the Semantic Tools for Arts Research System (STARS) will enable public participation in the production of user-generated metadata, interactivity and the curation of performance documents across the whole range of the Theatre Collection, as well as provide transferable models for other archives. A bespoke virtual research environment will be produced, within which this data will be used and re-used. Rethinking ways of delivering and processing the archived information using these web technologies will generate new forms of understanding, both of the documents and records themselves, but also of the methodologies for online use of other kinds of archival materials, creating the potential for considerable future research, not only in performance documentation and performance history, but other fields also. This will be achieved through an interdisciplinary team comprising leading specialists in their fields: academic, professional and technical.
