102Updated January 3, 2017</br> 103While the Working Groups have focused on digitized content, recent projects have broadened the scope to include selected aspects of born digital content. Long known as FADGI, the acronym’s meaning is updated in 2017 from <em>Federal Agencies <strong>Digitization</strong> Guidelines Initiative</em> to the <em>Federal Agencies <strong>Digital </strong>Guidelines Initiative</em> to reflect this growing area of work. </p> 104 105<h2>2016</h2> 106<p><strong>FADGI Guidelines to Carry CC0 1.0 Universal License</strong> | Updated December 23, 2016</br> 107As works of the US federal government, FADGI guidelines and documents are in the public domain.

One of the group's founders and an influential and widely respected leader in the audio-visual community, he will remain active in the FADGI community and we look forward to continuing to benefit from his unparalleled skills and experience. 111</p> 112 113<h2>2014</h2> 114<p><a href="../guidelines/File_format_compare.html">File Format Comparison Projects</a> | September 9, 2014<br /> 115 This guideline was developed and approved by both working groups. Comparisons of file formats for <em>still-image reformatting</em>, <em>video reformatting</em>, and preservation-oriented treatment of <em>born digital video</em>. For the reformatting examples, matrices are used to compare formats in terms of about forty factors. For born-digital video, current practices in six federal agencies are described in case histories. The offerings include narrative explanatory documents and supplementary reports.</p> 116 117 <h2>2013</h2> 118<p><a href="../audio-visual/documents/Interstitial_Error_Report_2013-04-08.pdf">Performance Impairments Caused by Interstitial Errors: Field Test Report</a> | April 8, 2013</br> 119 This is volume one of a two-volume report commissioned by the Audio-Visual Working Group.
