Establishing Standards for Movie Data Object Archiving in PDS

In late 2006, several nodes identified a need for a formal movie data object within the Planetary Data System (PDS) due to inconsistent archival methods. Initially, nodes had resorted to various workarounds, including archiving as documents and using the EXTRAS directory. By spring 2008, some nodes expressed satisfaction with these alternatives, arguing that a proactive standard might introduce more issues rather than resolve them. The Management Council must decide on establishing standard protocols for archiving movie data products under PDS and consider the relevance of further research into movie formats for PDS4.

    6. 6 Issues In late 2006, several nodes had expressed a need for a movie data object. At the time, several different methods were being used in lieu of a formal object, including: archiving as documents, safing, and including in the EXTRAS directory. At least one mission had already chosen not to archive their movies after initial interest in doing so, because the PDS had no formal standard in place. The general feeling was that the PDS needed to be proactive, rather than reactive in addressing this issue. In the spring of 2008, the same nodes that earlier expressed a need for a movie data object are now expressing contentment with the various work-around solutions they came up with earlier. Some have expressed the sentiment that a proactive approach is more likely to cause than to solve problems, and that we should wait until we have a pressing need before addressing this issue.

    8. 8 Summary The Management Council needs to decide if it wants a standard for formally archiving movie data products under PDS3. The Management Council needs to decide if it wants a standard for archiving movies as documents under PDS3. The Management Council needs to determine if continued research on movie formats is desirable in preparation for PDS4. The relative priorities of the above tasks, if continued, need to be established relative to other ongoing standards-related tasks.
