Translations:Digitization, Preservation and Ingest/81/en

An important element of the specifications for the digitization process is the quality standard to which we want and need to digitize our physical items. This is usually referred to as the “resolution” of a digitized document, photograph, or video. A higher resolution of a digital surrogate will allow for a better user experience and wider possibilities for its use—and, overall, a better copy of its original than a lower-resolution file. However, higher resolution also means that the digital surrogate will have a bigger digital size and will, therefore, take up more space in our storage media.
