JPEG 2000 a great step forward for the archival

Good news for JPEG 2000... and us !

The Digital Preservation Coalition has examined JPEG 2000 in a report published today, www.dpconline.org/graphics/reports/index.html#jpeg2000

The report concludes that JPEG 2000 represents a great stride forward for the archival community http://www.prlog.org/10052158-jpeg-2000-great-step-forward-for-the-archival-community.html

Note: The EDCine project also deals with Archiving, activity mainly lead by the Fraunhoffer. In the context of the project, JPEG 2000 archiving profiles have been submitted to the JPEG committee. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to stay in touch with the archivists !
