Universal Codec Library
Multi-Format Codec Library for Archive
Universal codec library supporting all archive formats with conversion and backward compatibility across format generations.
Purpose
Universal codec library supporting all archive formats with conversion and backward compatibility across format generations.
Context
Child of L2-DVT-FMT within the Lunar Ark system
Principles
- ▸Per-format codecs (PDF/A, TIFF/A, JPEG2000, FLAC, etc.)
- ▸Conversion utilities between formats
- ▸Backward-compatible read of legacy formats
- ▸Verified per ISO 19005 PDF/A and similar archive standards
- ▸Long-mission format evolution
Typical implementations
- ▸ISO 19005 PDF/A standard
- ▸TIFF/A archival image format
- ▸Library of Congress format sustainability
Lunar considerations
- ▸Long-mission format evolution requires codec library
- ▸Authenticated codec updates over DTN
- ▸Backward compatibility maintained
