97 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * Data Management (SJW) - Should content be integrated into discussion of shell / be before VC ? |
98 | 1 | Chris Cannam | ** Rationale |
99 | 1 | Chris Cannam | ** File formats - open vs. proprietary, lossy vs. lossless |
100 | 1 | Chris Cannam | *** Open formats should remain accessible in the future |
101 | 1 | Chris Cannam | *** The actual output from a lossy data format may vary depending upon how it's decoded |
102 | 1 | Chris Cannam | *** Converting files - ImageMagick convert, mplayer (to wav) + lame/flac/ogg, ffmpeg |
103 | 1 | Chris Cannam | ** Backing up |
104 | 1 | Chris Cannam | ** Archiving |
105 | 1 | Chris Cannam | *** "standard" compression tools good on text-like files especially if areas of content are similar |
106 | 1 | Chris Cannam | *** special compression needed for complex binary data which varies a lot e.g. FLAC |
107 | 1 | Chris Cannam | ** Publishing |
108 | 1 | Chris Cannam | ** Documenting |
109 | 1 | Chris Cannam | ** Available facilities in C4DM (relevance for MAT ?) |
