A brief set of questions and answers about metadata in general.

Different ways to examine the PBCore elements, with active links to each element's definition and description.

Of interest to information specialists is the Full Documentation for the PBCore elements. If you are looking for a one-page quick reference for the definitions of each element and some data examples, use the Cheat Sheet. Other documentation is provided to round out the understanding of PBCore's metadata elements.

PBCore has developed orientation and training sessions about the elements and their use. Live sessions are scheduled. On-Demand playback of the sessions is available here on the PBCore website.

Although many will choose to fold PBCore's metadata elements into their own content and asset management tools and systems, we have created an all-purpose cataloging tool that employs PBCore and its terminologies. XML exports (conforming to the PBCore XSD) are possible.

Through interviews and collaborations, various organizations and stations report on their implementation of PBCore within their information, content and asset management systems.
