Abstract

We investigate methods and techniques used in digitalization and security of the objects in multimedia folklore archive. This archive consists of unique folklore artifacts stored and annotated in the National center for non-material cultural heritage, Institute of Folklore, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. First we investigate techniques for digitalization of different multimedia types -- text, images, audio and video. We apply this research to selected collections of artifacts. Next we determine metadata appropriate to investigated objects. Third we describe several methods applied for securing the intellectual property and author rights. This includes digital watermarking and error-correcting codes. Finally we describe process of creation and organization of digital folklore archive that consists of digitalized objects with added metadata and security data.
