Biography
I am currently working on archiving and access solutions for Intelligent Television, a New York-based production and consulting company. For Intelligent Television, I have co-produced three recent conferences Online Video and the Future of Television, Berkeley, September 2005; The Economics of Open Content, Cambridge, January 2006; and Culture, Commerce, and Public Media, New York, June 2006. Prior to this association with Intelligent Television, I was a staff research associate at the School of Information Management and Systems at the University of California, Berkeley, where I developed approaches to measure the accessibility of archival holdings. I am also consulting to variety of commercial and non-commercial institutions concerned with the mass digitization of video, including WNET/Channel 13 and Bittorrent. For the Internet Archive, I have worked on managing orphan works, maintaining archival integrity, and managing the collection and retention of digital library usage data. I write about issues in television archiving and digital video at http://www.archival.tv, and have also been published in First Monday, Release 1.0, Computerworld, and the publications of Ferris Research, a San Francisco-based consultancy specializing in collaboration software.
