Digital data preservation is a difficult problem due to the high cost associated with the required technological development, rapid change and continuous anticipation of societal technology adaptation, and finally, the lack of interoperable standards for access and integration of diverse media content, software applications, and operating hardware systems over a decade-long timeline. While there is no single strategy to encompass all problems, the goal is to provide open preservation strategies between technologies. This paper presents a newly developed international standard technology called Multimedia Application Formats (MAF) from the ISO/IEC SC 29 WG 11 (MPEG) as the recommended digital image preservation data management architecture to migrate and preserve digital image content. This paper presents the implementation of such preservation strategy.
