In-Depth Information
Software clearly is needed for the use of most digital objects, and is therefore
Representation Information and in particular “Other” Representation Information
because it is not obvious how it might be classified as Structure or Semantic
Representation Information.

7.7 Application to Types of Digital Objects
In this sub-section we discuss the application of the above techniques to the
classifications of digital objects described in
Chap. 4
.
7.7.1 Simple
An example of a simple digital object is the JPEG image shown in
Fig. 4.1
(“face.jpg”) which is described in the JPEG standard [
