A survey has been made of the holdings and preservation requirements of ten major European public service broadcast archives. The survey also covered 'the business they do and how they do it': the contribution made by the archives to the business of broadcasting. The archives gave their plans for future services as media moves from 'tapes on shelves' to mass storage and electronic distribution....

From the World Wide Web to Digital Library Stacks: Preserving the French Web Archives

The National Library of France is mandated by French law to collect and preserve the French Internet. It is now a 10-year old project with collections ranging from 1996 to the present. To ensure their long-term preservation, the choice has been made to ingest these web archives into the institution’s existing digital preservation repository, SPAR (Scalable Preservation and Archiving Repository)...

Preserving the Past, Enjoying the Present and Facing the Future: Interaction Design and Family Archives

Digital archives of personal memories are becoming increasingly technically feasible, but there remain significant interaction design challenges. These challenges must be addressed before these archives will present interactive experiences that are attractive and emotionally engaging. In this paper, we present a research and design study of the Living Memory Box, a device and service to assist ...

Linear maps preserving or strongly preserving majorization on matrices

For $A,Bin M_{nm},$ we say that $A$ is left matrix majorized (resp. left matrix submajorized) by $B$ and write $Aprec_{ell}B$ (resp. $Aprec_{ell s}B$), if $A=RB$ for some $ntimes n$ row stochastic (resp. row substochastic) matrix $R.$ Moreover, we define the relation $sim_{ell s} $ on $M_{nm}$ as follows: $Asim_{ell s} B$ if $Aprec_{ell s} Bprec_{ell s} A.$ This paper characterizes all linear p...
