    Controlled Vocabularies PBCore Controlled Vocabularies are sets of predefined, community-standardized terms for concepts related to audiovisual and broadcast collections. These terms can be used as drop-down value lists in a database or spreadsheet to ensure consistency in terminology, formatting and spelling, both internally and when exchanging information with outside organizations. PBCore Controlled Vocabularies include the agreed-upon spelling and formatting for each term, a definition, and a Unique Resource Identifier (or URI). The vocabularies provide only the terms that the community has determined are most widely used and shared, and are not 100% comprehensive. PBCore does not maintain controlled vocabularies for elements that have strong vocabulary options maintained by other authorities. Element definitions contain references to relevant external vocabularies, where applicable. pbcoreAssetTypeVocabulary Usage: for pbcoreAssetType Album Definition: A collection of recordings issued as a single item on CD, record, or another medium.

Public Knowledge is a nonprofit organization dedicated to representing the public interest in digital policy debates. Public Knowledge promotes freedom of expression, an open internet, and access to affordable communications tools and creative works. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Michael Weinberg ([email protected]) or Sherwin Siy ([email protected]) as Public Knowledge’s authorized representatives in this matter. Public Knowledge’s contact information is as follows: Public Knowledge 1818 N St. NW Suite 410 Washington, DC 20036 (202) 861-0020 Item 2. Proposed Class Addressed This comment addresses Proposed Class 8: Audiovisual works – space-shifting and format-shifting. The class includes audiovisual works purchased by consumers in physical media such as DVD and Blu-ray discs, as well as those purchased by consumers as digital downloads. The class is intended to include audiovisual works whether they portray images in succession in order to create the impression of motion or not; e.g., an audiovisual slideshow embodied in a DVD or a downloaded file should also be considered a part of the class. Item 3. Overview Beginning with the introduction of DVDs, the most common forms of commercially distributed audiovisual works have been offered with the addition of technological protection measures. These TPMs have served as a barrier to consumers shifting the movies they have legally purchased onto other devices for personal, noncommercial uses, as they can readily do with unprotected audio and audiovisual works.

  • Library of Congress Collection Overviews: Television and Video
    COLLECTION OVERVIEW TELEVISION AND VIDEO I. SCOPE This overview of the Library's collections deals with television and video, while motion pictures are covered separately. There is some overlap because many early television broadcasts were recorded on motion picture film. II. SIZE With passage of the Copyright Reform Act of 1976, Congress broadened the Library’s collecting mandate by founding the American Television and Radio Archives (ATRA), directing the Library to acquire and preserve for posterity television and radio broadcasts. No other archive has a governmental directive to collect, and to collect as broadly, as the Library. The collections of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division include approximately 350,000 television and video programs. Television programs have been acquired by the Library of Congress since 1949, primarily via copyright deposit. Approximately 14,000 of these programs are listed in a now out-of- print guide, Three Decades of Television; a catalog of television programs acquired by the Library of Congress from 1949-1979, prepared by Sarah Rouse and Katherine Loughney. III. GENERAL RESEARCH STRENGTHS The size and scope of the Library’s television and video holdings are unparalled in the United States. The vast majority of these holdings have been received as copyright deposits; MBRS continues to receive approximately 30,000 video items every year. Due to the copyright law, MBRS is particularly strong in American network and cable news and entertainment television. The Library has also actively pursued television collections. Retrospective collections include those from NBC (over 20,000 kinescope reels dating from 1947), NET/PBS (an ongoing collection now numbering more than 60,000 items), and game shows from Goodson-Todman Productions.

Signed: ________________________ Richard Arthur Varney 14/05/2015 ii Permission to lend and/or copy: I agree that Trinity College Library may lend or copy this research Paper upon request. Signed: ________________________ Richard Arthur Varney 14/05/2015 iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Marie Redmond for the courtesy, advice and support she has shown during this research. I am indebted to Declan O’Sullivan, a gentleman and a scholar, for his time and patience over recent months. Finally, I wish to thank my wife Jacqueline, a constant source of sound advice who I have ignored at my peril. iv Abstract High Definition Television (HDTV) has reached a period of relative maturity after a considerably long gestation period from early experiments in the 1970s through to final international agreement on HDTV standards in the mid-2000s. A number of drivers advanced the final successful widespread introduction of HDTV around the world. Many of these factors were closely related to key advances in technology, including the development of flat- panel displays which presented the possibility of larger screens than had been possible with older Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology.
