REPUBLIC OF INDIAUser requirements for Metadata related to digital production, post-production, recording and archiving of sound and television Programmes in broadcasting Introduction With every multimedia content, there is lot of associated information. In days of analog, this information about the content was kept in the form of a paper datasheet. Sometimes database entries were made in the computers, with a unique media identifier number marked on the media envelope. In case of loss of datasheet or unique identifier, the whole information about the content was lost. With the advent of Digital technologies, similar process used to be in place. Content and information about the content used to be kept separately in servers and databases. Many a times, content is removed from server, but database entry remains there; and synchronization of database & Audio files is a tedious process. Every time file is copied, its associated information has to be manually entered into the database. Sending content for exchange within the organization still requires need of sending the information in the form of a paper or separate Computer file in this case.
It should help in selecting proper playback application/module/software depending upon the format of the content. It should support all the standard Broadcast formats. It should not hinder/disrupt playback of the content. Metadata should also not degrade the playback quality of the multimedia. It should be able to indicate the ownership and distribution rights of an organization/company over the content. It should be able to help in searching/Browsing/viewing the content on Content’s General & intellectual Information A few fields in the Metadata should be editable only by the owner. The metadata information should be directly accessible through the databases for search etc. 3 What information should be provided in the form of Metadata accompanying digital recordings of sound and television programmes? Information in the form of eighteen elements can be accompanied with digital recording of sound and television programme.

By “Rights” we here mean the rights to the programme (sound file etc.) as a whole. For rights covering parts of the file (music, poetry etc included in the file) keep these in the institutions locally. Here register for instance NRK, BBC or the production company responsible for the programme or the record company that owns the rights to a phonogram.

A descriptive classification, often part of a controlled vocabulary, which designates the group to which something belongs.
