Data Access Proxy (DAP) A highly extensible and distributed service for carrying out file format conversions Move towards an internet/world that is agnostic to file formats Aid in accessing a files contents independent of how it is represented on disk Data Tilling Service (DTS) An extensible and distributed service for the extraction of new data or metadata from a file’s contents Provide means to query and/or relate collections of data without metadata Data Conversion: A transformation on digital data that largely preserves the entirety of the data. Largely eversible. Data Extraction: A transformation on digital data which creates new, often higher level, data from the contents of the given data (e.g. tags, signatures). Not reversible.
