Hi Alan, In my opinion the key audiovisual metadata model which is approaching critical mass in moving image archives across Europe and North America is EN 15907, a ratified standard of the CEN (European Committee for Standardisation).
EN 15907 defines a metadata set for the description of audiovisual works including the various incarnations it can assume during its lifecycle. Its core entities are work, variant, manifestation, item, agent and event - as you can see it aligns with the FRBR conceptual model albeit with some differences (no Expression) which shift it towards representing the lifecycle of a moving image work rather than a bibliographic work. It's more of a conceptual model than the more minimal metadata models PB Core and EBU Core, it offers a model for representing the lifecycle of the moving image work and entities and relationships for describing the outcomes in a collection, contextualising those within the work's lifecycle. You can find out more at filmstandards.org<http://filmstandards.org>: http://filmstandards.org/fsc/index.php/Main_Page http://filmstandards.org/fsc/index.php/How_EN_15744_and_EN_15907_came_into_being This is a summary from that site: This European Standard specifies a set of metadata for the description of cinematographic works, as well as a terminology for use by parties wishing to exchange such descriptive metadata. It also defines some basic entities and relationships useful for defining data models as well as for structuring hierarchically ordered and serialised representations of metadata about cinematographic works including their variants, manifestations, and items. This standard was built into the British Film Institute's new collections management system (CID) by Adlib in 2011, and it is being adopted by many national or regional audiovisual archives across Europe and North America: Deutsche Kinemathek and Deutsches Filminstitut in Germany, CNC / Cinematheque Francais in France, Swedish Film Institute, Cinematheque Quebecois, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It will form the metadata backbone for all digital assets in the BFI's new digital preservation infrastructure / MAM. It is also baked into the forthcoming revision of the FIAF (Federation of international Film Archives) Cataloguing guidelines (BFI, CNC, SFI are contributors to the FIAF Cataloguing and Documentation Commission). If you want to learn more about it Alan I'd be happy to talk you through the BFI's approach to it, and show you some data of course. Email me directly and we can arrange a show and tell if that would be useful. All the best, Stephen, Head of Data, BFI On 2 Oct 2015, at 18:26, Newman, Alan <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: The National Gallery is interesting in seeing audio/video metadata models used by colleagues in cataloguing sound and moving image media in your DAMs and repositories. Please share your av data dictionaries either here or direct to me. We will reciprocate when ours is developed later this year. many thanks Alan Newman National Gallery of Art [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ The British Film Institute is governed by Royal Charter and is a charity registered in England and Wales number 287780.
