•  Difficulties of joining together different text DBs—birth/death records, property ownership, plans & maps

•  Lack of mapping tools, geo-location standards •  Processing power •  Lack of visualization tools •  Poor touch-screen interfaces •  No serious preservation plan

Preserving Digital Public Television Workflow in Production Process-

•  Site Visits to productions •  Interview Production staff •  Diagrams of Workflow-

Besser-City&Archiving

Pushing Metadata Gathering Upstream: The Problem

TRADITIONALLY… •  Very little metadata required for preservation

accompanies an object to a repository. •  Archives, libraries and other repositories must

create (or re-create) most of the necessary metadata.

•  This requires many manual hours, and significant resources - both time and money.

IN THE DIGITAL WORLD… •  This doesn’t scale up. Repositories will be

unable to continue in this manner, as more metadata than ever is required.

Besser-City&Archiving

But much of the necessary metadata has already been gathered during production

•  For each element/clip, production team usually notes source, date, place, people, and other descriptive info

•  But this is treated as internal information, and often various parts of the info are distributed among the personal notebooks of different production assistants

•  There is seldom a central location for this info, and the info is seldom turned over to the archive (which later tries to recreate much of it)

Besser-City&Archiving

When the Archive tries to re-create this info, it is seldom successful

Producers know much more about the content of their productions than the archivists do. Archivists wanting accurate info must go back to the production staff (often years later) to start brainstoriming over the info

“Once the (television) program is finished, it is passed on to the archive or library for safe keeping. Librarians will catalog and classify the content, possibly using a proxy copy, and enter the resulting informative metadata in their database so they can retrieve it in the future. However, rarely if ever is the metadata from the rest of the process passed onto them, except, perhaps, for the title, tape number, and basic technical information about recording formats. It has to be re-created, with all the associated risk of errors and lack of accuracy--not to mention the work and time involved.” - Cox, Tadic, and Mulder, Descriptive Metadata for Television (2006)

Besser-City&Archiving

We need to find ways to push metadata access upstream

•  Digital requires even more metadata than Analog –  As the workflow becomes file-based, the need for robust and accurate

metadata will become critical. File relationships, video codecs, bit rates, and rights information must be explicit, accurate, and immediately accessible. This will require a much deeper level of metadata than is currently captured in tape-based archives.

–  We can’t continue to supply this metadata at ingest; that won’t scale •  Obtaining the necessary metadata at the end of production and

broadcast life cycle is not feasible. Metadata will need to be systematically gathered during the production lifecycle and submitted with the programs to the preservation repository.

Examined Potential Points of Metadata Capture

Examined Potential Points for Metadata Capture •  Much of the necessary metadata for preservation is already

generated by the production unit, but discarded after their internal use. This needs to be captured throughout the workflow.

•  “Those in the production unit are the creators and have first

hand knowledge of who, what, where, when, and why the content was created.” -- Mary Ide and Leah Weisse, WGBH Archivists.

Besser-City&Archiving

Proposed Solutions…?

•  Preservation becoming a shared responsibility between content

creators, distributors, curators, and preservationists.

•  Partnerships are needed to come to unified solutions.

•  Preservationists seek reliable metadata back upstream in the production workflow...
