Access, Preservation, and Interchange: Digital Imaging with JPEG 2000
June 25, 2005, 8:30 - noon. Chicago, IL (Hotel Intercontinental room:
Empire Ballroom)
The newly-formed j2k Interest Group <http://j2kArcLib.info/j2kIG/>
within the Library and Information Technology Association
<http://www.lita.org/> of the American Library Association
<http://www.ala.org/> will be conducting a program at the 2005 Annual
Conference <http://www.ala.org/annual/> with the title "Access,
Preservation, and Interchange: Digital Imaging with JPEG 2000". Through
this program, attendees will:
* Understand the goals of this new imaging standard, the effect of
those goals on other segments of society, and the impact the
standard can have on digital imagery in libraries
* Learn about the technology underpinnings of JPEG 2000 (e.g.,
wavelet compression offering better efficiency and bitwise
lossless compression, decoding with different output resolutions,
progressive delivery, ROI <http://j2kArcLib.info/glossary#term53>
encoding, flexible file format)
* Contribute to a process for bringing JPEG 2000 into common
practice in libraries and archives
Program Overview
* What is JPEG 2000? Where/Who did it come from? ("Why should I
care?") A tutorial conducted by Robert Buckley, Research Fellow at
Xerox Corporation and member of the JPEG 2000 Committee (ISO
<http://j2kArcLib.info/glossary#term54>/ITU
<http://j2kArcLib.info/glossary#term56> JTC 1
<http://j2kArcLib.info/glossary#term57>/SC 29
<http://j2kArcLib.info/glossary#term58>), describing the standard
and its impact on libraries and archives.
* Demonstrations/Discussions of JPEG 2000 for Access, for
Interchange, and for Preservation. Presentations by leading
vendors providing tools and services that make use of JPEG 2000
technology
* Panel of JPEG 2000 Practitioners. .
* Report on the State of Adoption. Building on the work of the
Symposium on the Adoption of JPEG 2000 in Libraries and Archives
<http://j2kArcLib.info/symposium/report/>, a review of how the
standard has been applied in our field, work currently underway,
and an outline of future research and activities.
* Post-presentation business meeting: Organizing the JPEG 2000
community within libraries. What is desired from an image
compression scheme? What ancillary services, such as metadata
boxes, are important to our field?
