systems for associating historical information with corresponding sensory data, for preserving historical operations associated with sensory data, for generating sensory data and historical information, for performing functional operations on sensory data and for distributing and receiving a data file, methods for maintaining operations associated with sensory data and to generate a sensory data file; and, computer readable. Historical data elements and historical information may be generated based on input parameters and / or functional operations being applied to sensory data or content. In one embodiment, at least one historical data element is concatenated to a sensory data element and the history is retained. Sensory data, historical data elements and historical information can be stored in a single data file. A recording device can record sensory data and input parameters. The recording device may apply or encode the historical data elements to the sensory data. alternatively, a postprocessing system may receive sensory data with or without historical information, and encode sensory data and historical data elements into a data file. The data archive may be communicated through a network, possibly via an analyzer, to licensees or consumers of the content.
