description of the metadata fields stored by EIDR for various types of audiovisual assets. The manual is based on the EIDR XML Schema. All EIDR schemas are available at http://www.eidr.org/schema/1.0/. The eidr-base.xsd file is the starting point for other useful information about working with records. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the EIDR Technical Overview, especially Section 3, “Data Model” and with Sections 3.1, 3.1.1, and 3.1.2 of the EIDR API Overview. The Validation Rules that apply when writing content data to the EIDR System are summarized in the EIDR Validation Rules. CONVENTIONS: Courier typeface is used for strings that users might type such as enumerated values and for system output. 1.1 INTRODUCTION TO CONTENT An record is defined and described by its metadata. The guide is divided into three major sections for different classes of records and relationships: • Base Object Type – Describes a set of fields that are common to all content. Some instances of Movie, TV (show), Web (original content), and Short (including miscellaneous) Referent Types can be defined solely with base data. • Derived Types – Objects of derived type include extra metadata (in addition to base metadata). The derived object types are: Series, Season, Episode, Clip, Composite, Edit, Encoding, Interactive Material, and Language Variant. • Other Relationships – Lightweight relationships that connect records after they have been created. These are created with a small amount of extra metadata in the child record. In order to keep the amount of metadata small, the metadata required for an object has been chosen to meet these requirements: • To differentiate a particular object from others that may be similar in many aspects but not identical and need to be distinguished. (This also helps restrict the creation of duplicate ID’s.) • To define relationships among objects. • To support the distribution workflow (such as a private sequence number or information about a language-only track for mastering onto several different DVDs). Not all possible combinations of Referent Type and object type are
