The document discusses plans for establishing a Flemish Institute for Archives and Access to Audiovisual Heritage (VIAA). It notes that a large portion of existing audiovisual material is at risk of being lost, and that the institute would work to preserve Flemish audiovisual heritage for current and future generations. Several past and ongoing projects are mentioned that researched archiving solutions. The document discusses recommendations for the institute's scope and business model, including its role in long-term archiving, digitization, access policies, and whether it should have a physical public space like at 'De Krook' in Ghent. Establishing the institute is seen as an important project that learns from past expertise and requires input from various stakeholders.

23. So, what is a reasonable investment?

24. VIA and “De Krook” Complementary but different

27. Low threshold for knowledge and culture

28. The library as a digital working place

29. The library as the city’s living room

30. Supporting life-long learning

32. Providing access / enabling information via New Media Centre

33. Innovation & creation

34. Place for users and developers to meet

36. Making it accessible to a general audience

48. De Krook and the new institute A physical, recognisable place for a digital future. With ‘De krook’ in the design stage, this is a perfect moment for integrating such an institute But: an archiving institute is a project for Flanders as a whole, with a much broader vision than one site.

49. Now what? Status on 16/12/2010

50. VZW de Krook Was responsible for concept and plan for ‘De Krook’ Complex project with many stakeholders Financed by several parties Strong need for conscencus building Let’s apply the same idea for the institute: Different composition of the non profit needed to reflect the challenge The government detailed the mission Deliver by summer 2011 Rely on broad range experts (and past + current projects) to provide input

51. And what will it do? Dreams, hopes and questions

52. Scope & business model? Long term archiving: Video Audio? Photo’s? Documents? … What about digitisation? (limited?) Restoring? Storing the original carrier? PPS, commercial, fully subsidised? What else should it do?

53. Access Create a ‘youtube’ for the flemish audiovisual archive? Or choose a more targeted approach? Providing widget to other organisations and portals…

54. Layar Movie How open should/can the API’s be?

55. Development of specialised channels?

56. A public place ‘De Krook’ can give physical form to the institute, but does not have to be the only place Physical experience: Beeld en Geluid Experience, or something different?
