Domain is highly diverse ▪ Many thousands of broadcast organisations (6379 broadcast
companies in 40 European countries alone!) ▪ Deposit laws are different in each and every country • National AV Institutions take up tasks of public broadcasters’
archives in some countries • Commercial broadcasters are left alone ▪ Digitisation progress of legacy formats varies widely ▪ Key moment going on: move from tape to data recording ▪ Meanwhile access formats are on the move

Impact on production workflows !
▪ The archive has never had such an impact on production before
▪ Archives are rebuilding workflows for metadata gathering, from the first steps of the production chain
▪ Producers need to be ‘taught’ how to work with an all-‐digital archive workflow
