PBCore: Sample Metadata Records & Descriptions

TYPE OF METADATA RECORD:


 
Media Type:
  Moving Image

 
Instantiations/Formats:
  Digital video file, segment (related to a full-length parent & 2 siblings)

 
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
Record #08: Segment 1-The Colorado Plateau
Record #09: Segment 2-The Rocky Mountains (this record)
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 physiographic province that covers the smallest area in Utah is the Rocky Mountain Region. It is divided between the Wasatch and the Uinta Mountains. This province is particularly valuable to the state for water resources and recreation.

The Wasatch Mountains follow a north-south axis from the Idaho border south to central Utah. For 150 miles, the Wasatch range forms the first significant barrier in the northern half of the state to the westward flow of air masses. They force the air to rise and drop its moisture over the mountains where the urban areas along the Wasatch store, manage, and consume these water resources.

The Uinta Mounts are one of the east-west ranges in the Rocky Mountains, approximately 150 miles long and 40 miles wide. They lie just south of the Utah-Wyoming border. The Uintas attain the highest elevations in Utah with King's Peak reaching 13,528 feet above sea level. Only a few hundred people live in the Uinta Mountains permanently. The largest communities are Manila, a service town close to the Flaming Gorge reservoir, and Dutch John, the town that was built to house the construction workers for the Flaming Gorge Dam.
