IPEA

IPEA, the Innovative Platform on Electronic Archiving, is developing community standards for the exchange and archiving of audiovisual data in Flanders. In addition to the practical difficulties of storing non-digital formats, the increasing demand for the access of archived information is also a significant impetus for this project.

Exchanging means establishing agreements, and the collaboration between the market leaders in the world of the AV broadcast is therefore an absolute condition for the realization of these objectives.

Within Flanders there is interest from various directions for a community initiative that encompasses media, culture and government services. Not only from the government sector, but also within the private sector. It is clear that “digital archiving” is important in scores of sectors.

IPEA focuses first of all on all technological and user aspects of digital archiving for production houses and radio and TV broadcasters. In a later phase the project can also focus on the digital archiving of audiovisual data with other players such as press agencies, advertising agencies, publishers, the government, regional broadcasters, production houses, educational institutions, etc.
