        Public Broadcasting Metadata Dictionary Project 
       
        The Public Broadcasting Metadata Dictionary Project is a system-wide 
          Project for public television and radio. Its stated goal is: To 
          develop a shared metadata dictionary that facilitates public broadcasting's 
          larger mission of developing and distributing both nationally -- and 
          locally -- relevant content across a variety of media. The metadata 
          dictionary, in its recommendations for the elements, qualifiers, and 
          authority files used to describe rich media content, will reflect not 
          only public broadcasting's diverse audiences, but also our critical 
          community and university partnerships. A Metadata Dictionary Working 
          Group has been formed and is comprised of individuals representing public 
          television and radio stations, the producing and program distributor 
          communities, as well as national organizations.
