Characterization of CD-ROMs for Emulation-Based Access
Memory institutions have already collected a substantial amount of digital objects, predominantly CD-ROMs. Some of them are already inaccessible with current systems, most of them will be soon. Emulation offers a viable strategy for long-term access to these publications. However, these collections are huge and the objects are missing technical metadata to setup a suitable emulated environment. In this
paper we propose a pragmatic approach to technical metadata
which we use to implement a characterization tool to suggest a suitable emulated rendering environment.
