## Abstract

Methods and systems for selective archival of data include, in some aspects, determining, via an electronic processing circuit, a plurality of accessors for a data format, displaying indicators for at least a portion of the plurality of accessors on an electronic display, receiving input defining a selection of a subset of the plurality of accessors from an input device; and outputting the selected subset of accessors with data encoded in the data format to an archive.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An archive verification apparatus, comprising:
one or more electronic hardware processing circuits, configured to execute:
a functionality interpreter and instantiator, configured to instantiate a candidate accessor, wherein the instantiated candidate accessor is configured to receive input data and output first data derived from the input data,
a reference accessor configured to receive the input data and output second data derived from the input data,
a comparator configured to compare characteristics of the first data with characteristics of the second data, and
a results analyzer configured to:
receive results from the comparator and determine whether the results are acceptable, and
generate an output signal based on the determination of acceptability.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the candidate accessor and reference accessor are configured to output a set of tests of selected features of the respective accessor.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the input data is audio data with embedded lyrics and each of the candidate accessor and reference accessor are configured to output a set of audio samples.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the results analyzer is configured to determine whether the results are acceptable based on one or more thresholds for acceptable performance.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more electronic hardware processing circuits are further configured to execute an accessor functionality selector and generator configured to select a new accessor in response to a first signal, wherein the results analyzer is further configured to send the first signal to the accessor functionality selector and generator in response to a determination that the results are not acceptable.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the accessor functionality selector and generator is further configured to transmit the candidate accessor to an encoder or format annotator in response to a second signal, wherein the results analyzer is further configured to send the second signal to the accessor functionality selector and generator in response to a determination that the results are acceptable.
