This handbook clarifies the protocol for DVDs and Blu-ray discs, expanding upon established guidelines for AACR2 and integrating them into the new standard. Along the way, Higgins introduces the fundamentals of filmmaking, including its history and technical vocabulary, providing context that will help catalogers quickly find the information relevant to their bibliographic records.
For over two decades, Cataloging of Audiovisual Materials and Other Special Materials has served as the place to go for catalogers of nonprint materials around the world.
The manual is designed to be compatible with a variety of data structures, and provides charts, decision trees, examples, and other tools to help experts and non-experts alike in performing real-world cataloguing of moving image collections.
Libraries, archives, and museums hold a wide variety of moving images. all of which require the same level of attention to issues of organization and access as their print counterparts. Consequently, the people who create collection level records and metadata for these resources need to be equally conversant in the principles of cataloging. Martha Yee covers both descriptive (AACR2R, AMIM, and FIAF rules) and subject cataloging (with a focus on LCSH).
Originally developed as part of a broader effort to develop formal standards for the long-term storage of digital data generated from space missions, the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) has since formed the foundation of numerous architectures, standards, and protocols, influencing system design, metadata
requirements, certification, and other issues central to digital preservation. It is suitable both as a gentle
introduction to OAIS for those new to the reference model, or as a resource for practitioners wishing to reacquaint themselves with the basics of the model and subsequent developments.
This text is a compilation of standard film and video subject headings and genre terms, and presents guidance from an established cataloging expert on assigning them. This book provides a recently updated compilation of standard Library of Congress subject headings and genre term headings directly related to film and video materials, along with guidance in how they should be applied.
The Cataloguing Guide for New Media Collections is aimed primarily at people who manage new media art collections, such as registrars, collection archivists and museum curators. This guide will also prove useful to the extended community of creators, researchers, presenters and collectors.
The aim of this particular study is to contribute to the development of a consistent methodology, especially for the preservation of digital moving images stored by archives.
Descriptive Metadata for Television is a comprehensive introduction for television professionals that need to understand metadata's purpose and technology. This easy-to-read book translates obscure technical to hands-on language understandable by real people.
By following this book's guidance, with its inclusion of numerous practical examples that clarify common application issues and challenges, readers will learn about the concept of metadata and its functions for digital collections, why it's essential to approach metadata specifically as data for machine processing, and how metadata can work in the rapidly developing Linked Data environment; know how to create high-quality resource descriptions using widely shared metadata standards, vocabularies, and elements commonly needed for digital collections.
The Game Metadata Research Group at the University of Washington Information School worked to create a standardized metadata schema. This metadata schema was empirically evaluated using multiple approaches—collaborative review, schema testing, semistructured user interview, and a large-scale survey.
This is a primer on the use of ontologies -- which provide the framework for the data held in knowledge graphs -- and other semantic web technologies within the media domain.
The METS schema is a standard test for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library, expressed using the XML schema language of the World Wide Web Consortium.
This chart provides a quick overview of metadata standards and guidelines that are in use with digital audio, including metadata used to describe the content of the files; metadata used to describe properties of the digital files, how they were created, and (for digitized content) the original analog object; and metadata used to manage and preserve digital files.
Library of Congress standard and digital preservation repository, which requires keeping important information about its digital objects to enable long-term management.
Built for archives by archivists, ArchivesSpace is the open source archives information management application for managing and providing web access to archives, manuscripts and digital objects.
Library of Congress Github account review on BagIt, a set of hierarchical file layout conventions for storage and transfer of arbitrary digital content
a free, open source application that enables users to manage (i.e., audit, validate and correct) embedded metadata in Digital Picture Exchange (DPX) files as individual files or an entire DPX sequence as well as RDD 48 compliant Material Exchange Format (MXF) files, while not impacting the image data.
The FIAF Glossary of Filmographic Terms is intended to assist film catalogers and others in identifying and translating credit terms appearing both on screen and in documentation sources.
MediaConch is an extensible, open source software project consisting of an implementation checker, policy checker, reporter, and fixer that targets preservation-level audiovisual files
Library of Congress statement that identifies hierarchies of the physical and technical characteristics of creative formats, both analog and digital, which will best meet the needs of all concerned, maximizing the chances for survival and continued accessibility of creative content well into the future.
