| Dublin Core is a well-known metadata initiative from
W3C that has been widely spread and used for text
and web pages on the Internet. The Scandinavian
SAM-group, with 25 archive specialists and engineers
have defined semantic definitions and converted the
commonly used Dublin Core initiative for general use
within the audio industry. The 15 basic elements of
Dublin Core and new subsets have proven to cover
most of the tape protocols and database fields existing
in broadcast production chain from early capturing over
various types of production and all the way to distribution
and archiving. This presentation covers some examples
of the use of metadata transfer with Dublin
Core expressed in XML in Sweden and Norway. It
ends in a discussion of the future possibilities of Dublin
Core in comparison with other existing metadata initiatives
in an integrated world of interconnected databases
coming into all audio related companies. |
