Table 1 Submodel structure of the Bayesian network (see Fig. 1) for prioritizing 35 mm black-and-white archival film series and elements for preservation action
From: Prioritizing motion pictures for archival preservation using a decision-aiding Bayesian network
Network Submodel | Description | Information Source |
|---|---|---|
Series and Element | Lists the specific categories of the film series and elements | Database compiled from HMS. |
Series and Element Descriptors | Describes uniqueness, use, and acidic deterioration of films | Database compiled from Labwork and HMS. |
Series Archival Values | Describes the archival significance and uniqueness of films, and their composite archival value rating | Significance and uniqueness are assigned by archival staff based on criteria in Reference 7; composite archival value rating is a sum of these |
Priority and Risk Ratings | Summarizes film conditions and archival values into risk and priority ratings | Based on input from NARA archivists |
Series and Element Ancillary Information | Additional descriptions of film Series and Element conditions, Labwork, and numbers of available copies | Database compiled from Labwork and HMS. |
Case Number | Tracks the specific case number in the case file database | Database compiled from HMS |
