Indexing training and workflow on large digitization projects

Abstract

The GM Media Archives (GMMA) is undertaking one of the largest digitization projects in one of the busiest archives in the world. (See The Indexer 21 (1) April 1998, 1 1-14 for a description of the GMMA indexing system.) Clients that use the more than 3,000,000 images at GMMA include worldwide media, documentary videographers, advertising agencies and authors. In coordinating the reformatting workflow of up to 20,000 images concurrently, the GMMA has experimented with various approaches.
