Other Case ExamplesOther Sample Metadata Records

 

TYPE OF METADATA RECORD:


 
Media Type:
  Moving Image

 
Instantiations/Formats:
  Digital video file, full-length (with 3 related segments)

 
Comments:
 

This sample is part of a group of related metadata records. There is a full-length digital video file posted to an online VOD system. K-12 schools and higher education institutions have access to not only the full-length version, but also any of three shorter length segments derived from the parent asset.

Record #07: Full-length program-Utah Landforms (this record)
Record #08: Segment 1-The Colorado Plateau
Record #09: Segment 2-The Rocky Mountains
Record #10: Segment 3-The Great Basin

The three shorter segments have their own unique intellectual content descriptions when compared to the parent asset. Therefore, all four assets (full-length + 3 segments) are captured in 4 separate metadata records in PBCore.

Each is linked to the others (parent and sibling) by repeating the container PBCoreRelation and identifying each file by a unique identifier within the VOD system.

Each asset also exists as two renditions; the container pbcoreInstantiation is repeated in order to capture the format information for both QuickTime and WindowsMedia versions.

Because these digital videos are intended for distribution to K-12 as well as higher education, state core curriculum standards (for Utah) and targeted academic disciplines (higher ed) are captured in extensions to PBCore.

Additional rights management metadata fields are also added as extensions to PBCore, although the discrete fields have also been concatenated into a (PBCore compliant) combined statement for the pbcoreRightsSummary data field.

  Element description

The significance of Utah's landforms is discussed in this episode from the 22-part video series THE GEOGRAPHY OF UTAH, conceived and written by Albert L. Fisher, PhD (University of Utah). The program defines the three major physiographic regions of the state – The Colorado Plateau, the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin. All three provinces extend beyond Utah into adjoining states and each has distinctive features that help to display the amazing variety of Utah landforms. This program is a virtual road trip from border to border in the state of Utah, highlighting the national and state parks, as well as the state's natural formations and land use.
