Tape-less Workflow Applcation Architecture
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes882 views
The document discusses Limecraft's perspective on a tape-less production application architecture, focusing on the evolution of media production and the challenges involved with collaborative and real-time co-production. It highlights issues surrounding system functionality, integration, and the significance of proper metadata standards for ensuring data integrity. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for a sound application architecture designed for purpose in order to facilitate efficient media asset management and collaborative production.

- 20. The Problem (1) – System FunctionalityType example: Media Asset Management systems
- 21. Re-use of material assumes a central Media Asset Mgntsystem
- 22. The system is not aware of the production processes
- 23. The lack of proper APIs requires custom development
- 24. An out-of-context workflow engine must manage overall consistency
- 25. Custom Integration of “Best of Breed” components compromises stability of the overall system and quality of the product
- 26. Fragmented application landscape leads duplicates, long and unpredictable response-times and overall storage inflation(!);Media Asset Mgnt5/6/2010© Limecraft, all rights reserved
- 27. Problem (2) – Understanding the RequirementsEBU Production Management Seminar 2009(!) about Service Oriented ArchitectureAn SOA “has the ability to manage the complexity” (CISCO) but it usually increases it;
- 28. “The ESB should replace all application specific interfaces by an general purpose abstract interface”(IBM), while it should support proper standards (NewsML-G2, TVAnytime, Mpeg7,…);
- 29. “The SOA and the ESB simplify your service portfolio” (a Broadcaster) - e.g. a single video transcoder, which may lead to massive overconsumption of IT infrastructure;SOA – Some Overstretched Assumptions?Media Asset MgntAn inconsistent architecture will remain inconsistent and an ‘Enterprise Service Bus’ does not cure that particular problem. If applications are designed for purpose and behave correctly, we probably don’t need additional service busses or workflow engines.5/6/2010© Limecraft, all rights reserved
- 30. Lessons Learned – Principles of System IntegrationEverything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler.
- 31. Media Asset Management is a process and properimplementation relies on interoperability of applications. Metadata - Electronic and Structured Information
- 32. A MAM System enables(!) data integrity
- 33. Metadata Standards enable(!) interoperability
- 34. Semantic technology may enable(!) information integrity
- 35. Yet, applications need to be designed for purpose: being aware of the state of the processes, tracing dependancies,...!An sound application architecture is based on proper design requirements and makes technology fit for purpose.(≠ Integration of available “Best of Breed” components)5/6/2010© Limecraft, all rights reserved
