The presentation "What it Might be Like to Work in a File Based World" discussed the topic of file based systems architectures, planning, quality control and workflow changes.

Synopsis
When you can no longer ‘see’ the content, touch the media and must depend upon new forms of instruments to tell you if the images, sound and metadata will be what you expected - - you’ve officially evolved into the world of file based workflows. What will might take to navigate this new environment and what is on the horizon to assist the operator in this new digital media age will be explored by AZCAR’s Chief Technology Officer, Karl Paulsen.

Many of the presentations (including their MP3 downloads) are worth looking at.
