Translations:Digitization, Preservation and Ingest/209/en

From Wiki

Back in the digitization process, we established the need to store our digital material in file formats that are appropriate for long-term preservation. Primarily, these are formats that have a wide user/support community and are proven to be resilient to change over time. This is also why they are often called “lossless” as opposed to “lossy” formats that do tend to lose quality and/or change and degrade over time.
