ABSTRACT

The EUscreenXL project aims to make audiovisual content from broadcasters and audiovisual archives across Europe findable and accessible online. The main objective of the project is to act as the Pan-European aggregator for Europeana in the audiovisual domain, bringing together all major European broadcasters and to actively reach out to all European audiovisual archives.

This document examines the audiovisual metadata landscape, focusing mainly on the descriptive type of metadata, and looking in particular at the work done on this matter in related EU co-funded projects, such as the European Film Gateway, and in relevant standardisation initiatives like the CEN EN 15907 and the European Broadcasting Union EBUcore, in order to investigate the suitability and make the necessary adaptation to the EUscreen metadata schema for its use in the Pan-European aggregator for audiovisual content. These changes are necessary in this new context since the metadata schema developed in EUscreen was mainly devised for television content, whereas the EUscreenXL project aggregates a broader range of audiovisual media.

Together with this overview and analysis of the current situation in the audiovisual metadata domain, this document presents the results of a survey completed by all EUscreenXL content providers. The outcomes of this survey enabled us to assess and evaluate the different local situations regarding metadata and – together with ensuing discussions with the community of content providers in regional workshops – provided the input and highlighted possible new requirements to be considered for the final objective of this deliverable, which is the publication of a metadata schema for the Pan-European Aggregator.

A AUDIOVISUAL METADATA LANDSCAPE

1 Introduction

In the cultural heritage domain there are several metadata models and standards that have been used in different communities, like libraries, archives and museums. Some of these models are generic enough to be also adopted in multiple domains. Among this plethora of standards and models we can mention the more common and widely adopted ones, like Dublin Core1 (used by various cultural heritage sub-domains), LIDO2 Lightweight Information Describing Objects (mainly adopted by museum organisations), EAD3 Encoded Archival Description (endorsed by the Library of Congress and used mainly by archives) and finally EDM4, the Europeana Data Model (used by Europeana for its multi-domain aggregator). All these models and standards, generally adopted in the cultural heritage domain, are not really well suited for the description of audiovisual material, mainly because of the time-dependent nature of this content and also for the peculiarity of the audiovisual media. This is why in this document we will focus specifically on the analysis of the audiovisual metadata models only.

The EUscreenXL project aims to give access to audiovisual content through Europeana and the EUscreenXL portal. For this reason the subject of this brief investigation on audiovisual metadata standards and models will be focused on the metadata used for access and fruition, the so called “descriptive metadata”, and will not consider the “administrative metadata”, such as the ones used for preservation, identification and distribution of audiovisual content (i.e. technical and rights metadata). The following Sections outline the main initiatives and standards related to descriptive metadata for audiovisual content together with an analysis of their characteristics and their suitability for the EUscreenXL project. This overview does not claim to be exhaustive. Instead, it focuses on the initiatives in the audiovisual and multimedia domain most suitable for the scope of the project, considering in particular the initiatives carried on by similar projects or endorsed by the EUscreenXL communities of reference (broadcasters and audiovisual archives). For a extensive overview of all the metadata initiatives in the audiovisual domain see the PrestoPrime deliverable “Metadata Models, Interoperability Gaps and Extensions to Preservation Metadata Standards”5.

2 The EFG metadata schema

The European Film Gateway6 Best Practice Network, funded by the European Commission under the eContentplus programme, aimed to provide a single access point to 59 collections from 19 film archives across 14 European countries. The three-year project, which ended on October 2011, has developed a metadata model7 for the description of film related content. The model took into consideration standards such as EAD and Dublin Core and models like FRBR8, as well as more film-specific standards, such as the Cinematographic Works Standards EN 15907 (described in the following chapter). Following the FRBR model, the EFG schema defines three different levels of description: Creation (referring to the concept of Cinematographic Work, including only properties that remain constant throughout all of its manifestations), Manifestation (the physical embodiment of an audiovisual creation, including all properties that can change during the lifecycle of an audiovisual creation without affecting the identity of a film work as such) and Item (a logical wrapper for the digital object, pointing to the digital file held in the source repository). On these three main levels, eight interrelated entities have been defined in the EFG metadata model:

• The AVCreation contains the properties of a cinematographic work: the film title, the record source (archive), the country of reference, the publication year, etc. • The AVManifestation contains the information about the physical embodiment of an audiovisual creation. Examples are archival copies (analogue or digital) and database files. Properties of an AVManifestion include language, dimension, duration, coverage, format, rights holder, and provenance. • The NonAVCreation describes all non-audiovisual creations that can be represented in EFG. These are pictures, photos, correspondence, books or periodicals. The properties of NonAVCreations are: title, record source, keywords, description, date of creation and language. • The NonAVManifestation entity keeps track of copies of non-audiovisual objects. It has properties such as type (e.g. text, image, sound), specific type (e.g. photograph, poster, letter), language, dates (i.e. a date or period associated with the issue of the manifestation), digital format (including its status, size, resolution), physical format, geographic scope, rights holder. • The Item entity points to the digital file held in the source archive. Its attributes are isShownBy (i.e. the URL reference to the digital object on the content provider’s web site), isShownAt (i.e. the URL reference of the object in its information context), digital format, provider and country. • The Agent is defined as an entity that can perform an action. The model includes three agent types: Person, Corporate Body and Group. • The Event is an entity that can occur within the lifecycle of an audiovisual or non-audiovisual creation. Examples of Events are Physical Event (e.g. a public screening or a broadcast), Decision Event (e.g. when a manifestation of a creation was evaluated by a censorship body), IPR registration, Award (i.e. the award obtained by an audiovisual creation or an agent), Production event (e.g. dates and places where castings took place, dates and locations of shooting).

• The Collection is defined as a compilation of creations (audiovisual or non- audiovisual).

The model defines XML element types and attributes for all the eight entities and their relevant properties. The common schema is conceived as the type union of eight XML schemas (one for each entity) in such a way that one EFG XML record represents one entity together with its relationships to other entities. Furthermore, the schema defines the so-called “controlled elements”, which are the XML elements whose values must comply with a given vocabulary of terms. This model, which is quite articulated, is well suited for the description of film material, stressing in particular the different physical embodiments (manifestations) of the audiovisual content, making it more purpose- oriented for use in audiovisual and film archives (asset management and preservation).

3 The EN 15907 standard9

The EN 15907, “Film Identification – Enhancing interoperability of metadata – Element sets and structures” became a European Standard in July 2010, and it specifies a set of metadata for the description of cinematographic works, as well as a terminology for use by parties wishing to exchange such descriptive metadata. It also defines some basic entities and relationships useful for defining data models as well as for structuring hierarchically ordered and serialised representations of metadata about cinematographic works including their variants, manifestations, and items. The main objective of this standard is to define the metadata essential for facilitating data exchange between film databases and for allowing consistent identification of films. This metadata model is based on the FRBR structure and it represents an evolution of the EFG data model described above. Core members10 of the CEN Technical Committee 372, who prepared the standard, were also in the EFG group that issued the EFG metadata schema. The model defines a set of 5 primary entities: Cinematographic Work, Variant, Manifestation, Item, Content; and 2 contextual entities: Agent and Event. Each of these entities can be related to the others through different kind of relationships, following the diagram below:

Entity-Relationship diagram of EN 15907

As for the EFG metadata model, the EN 15907 standard is aimed mainly at film archives, film museums, cinematheques and any other cultural organisations with databases about film content, and it has been defined to facilitate access to filmographic metadata and to allow their interoperability. Despite the well-articulated structure, the model has not been extensively tested with television content, and its actual implementation is complicated by the fact that this standard specifies only a metadata model and not its formal representation. To this date, no complete XML or RDF representations of this model exist.

4 EBUCore

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) published EBUCore11 for the first time in 2000. It was originally a set of definitions for audio archives, applied to the Dublin Core. This first version did not have a schema as it strictly adhered to the Dublin Core elements set. In 2005, an EBU user group of archivists decided to review the requirements for metadata supporting query, access and exchange of archive content online. The requirements were identified devoid of any reference to technology or a particular set of metadata. The result was a core set of metadata fitting well what Dublin Core had defined, but also the need for more structured technical metadata as well as the possibility to “customise” the Dublin Core set. The new EBUCore schema and its specification have been released in 2008. Since then, EBUCore followed this evolution to become what it is today: the Dublin Core for media, a framework that can be used to describe just about any media content (incl. audio, video, images, documents). It has been designed as an extension of Dublin Core, which is imported as the base structure of the EBUCore schema.

11 http://tech.ebu.ch/docs/tech/tech3293v1_4.pdf 8

D2.1 Publication of metadata schema for Pan-European Aggregator

Customisation was also made possible, allowing for the possibility to add “type” attributes to the defined properties. For example, it is possible to specify an arbitrary number of types for the “title” or “description” properties, as each implementer may use different names/kinds of titles or description, such as “original title”, “English title”, “summary”, “extended description”, etc. But the most significant effort was put on the two Dublin Core elements considered as the most sensitive, “dc:type” and “dc:format”: • “dc:type” is often interpreted in different ways and EBUCore restricts its use to the definition of the type of object being described (e.g. a program or a clip or a series), the genre of the object content (e.g. news, or comedy or sports) and the target audience of the content. • In EBUCore, “dc:format” gives structured technical information about the content (does it contain audio, video? How is it encoded? Does it contains subtitling/captioning, signing? What is the size of the file, the type of container? Etc.). Another peculiar characteristic of EBUCore is that it permits the description of content parts/segments/fragments at a very low level of granularity, either to provide an editorial analysis of the content (e.g. tracks of a record of performances in a show with appropriate contextual information on each performer), or to generate timelines of dynamic technical parameters. EBUCore has been represented in XML, JSON, SMPTE-KLV and RDF/OWL (Resource Description Framework/Web Ontology Language) as ontology. The EBUCore ontology complements the EBU's Class Conceptual Data Model (CCDM) modelling broadcast, from ingestion to the delivery of content to the end user. It responds to the need for more effective querying and it also paves the way for effective metadata enrichment using Linked Open Data (LOD). The work on EBUCore and EBU's CCDM also greatly influenced the development of W3C Ontology for Media Resources12, which based its work on the EBU data model. MA-ONT, as it is known, is a subset of the EBUCore ontology and the RDF/OWL representation rules are common to both. The EBUCore schema has been adopted by several broadcasters in Europe and it has been used in different European initiatives, like the UK’s Digital Production Partnership (DPP), the Framework for Interoperable Media Services13 (FIMS) and the EU co-funded Best Practice Network EUscreen, the predecessor of EUscreenXL. The EBUCore model has been used also to propose extensions to the schema.org ontology (a project from Google, Yahoo and Bing) in order to describe TV and radio programmes and associated services and schedules. This work has been done in close cooperation between BBC and EBU. EBUCore has been registered by SMPTE14 has EBU metadata for public use. This now allows embedding EBUCore metadata in MXF files. The EBUCore is developed and maintained by the EBU metadata community, which is open to all metadata developers including non-EBU members. The main advantage of using a standard like EBUCore is that the community of developers and implementers benefit from all new developments around the xml schema and the RDF/OWL ontology. The simplicity and the expressivity of the model together with the above mentioned points, makes EBUCore a very good candidate as model for the metadata schema for the Pan-European aggregator of audiovisual

content. It is general enough to be adapted also for the description of film and, more in general, audiovisual content at large.

5 BBC News Storyline Ontology

The News Storyline Ontology is a generic model for describing and organising the stories news organisations tell. The ontology is intended to be flexible to support any given news or media publisher's approach to handling news stories. At the heart of the ontology, is the concept of Storyline. As a nuance of the English language the word 'story' has multiple meanings. In news organisations, a story can be an individual piece of content, such as an article or news report. It can also be the editorial view on events occurring in the world.15

The journalist pulls together information, facts, opinion, quotes, and data to explain the significance of world events and their context to create a narrative. The event is an award being received; the story is the triumph over adversity and personal tragedy of the victor leading up to receiving the reward (and the inevitable fall from grace due to drugs and sexual peccadillos). Or, the event is a bombing outside a building; the story is an escalating civil war or a gas mains fault due to cost cutting. To avoid this confusion, the term Storyline has been used to remove the ambiguity between the piece of creative work (the written article) and the editorial perspective on events.

15 This information is taken from http://www.bbc.co.uk/ontologies/storyline/2013-05-01.html 10

D2.1 Publication of metadata schema for Pan-European Aggregator

A Storyline in its most basic form can be an individual, but typically would consist of a richer collection of storyline components. These components exist in slots that can be fully ordered using an index property, ordered temporally, or arranged in a graph to possibly express parallel running developments.

Storyline components can be indisputable real world events, or other storylines (chapters, sub-plots, updates, news developments etc). Storylines can be associated with Topics in some knowledge domain (eg people, places, organisations). As news stories are typically of a subjective nature (one news publisher's interpretation of any given news story may be different from another's), Storylines can be attributed to some agent to provide this provenance. The BBC News Storyline is of relevance for future developments in EUscreenXL, as EUscreenXL aims to publish metadata in ways that support workflows within broadcasters. This will further promote EUscreenXL data in TV production contexts.

6 The EUscreen metadata schema

EUscreen16 was a Best Practice Network co-funded by the EC under the eContentplus program, with the aim to aggregate television and audiovisual content for Europeana and promote the use of television content to explore Europe's rich and diverse cultural history. Together with EFG, EUscreen is one of the main audiovisual content aggregators for Europeana. The EUscreen metadata model is based on the EBUCore metadata schema (described in the previous chapter), and it consists of 39 elements, 18 of which are mandatory. Here is the list of the mandatory elements:

Identifier Material type Item type Title Title in English Summary Summary in English Thesaurus terms Genre Topic Broadcast date Production year Item duration IPR restrictions Rights terms and conditions Provider Original identifier Video file name

To integrate the model there is also a list of optional elements:

Series Title Series Title in English Clip title Extended description Information Contributor First Broadcast channel Country of production Language used Original language Subtitle language Item colour Item sound Aspect ratio Local keywords Geographical Coverage Metadata language Original URI Relation Relation type

The EUscreen model is a simple, flat model that can effectively describe audiovisual and television content. In the EUscreen framework it has also been used to describe related material like photographs, documents and radio broadcasts. It has been mapped to EDM and EBUCore and it has been also represented in RDF using the EBUCore ontology, allowing for the publication of the EUscreen metadata as linked data17. But its simplicity is also its limitation, as this model is not completely suited for describing audiovisual objects in a hierarchical relation, such as serial programmes, only allowing for a flat representation of the audiovisual objects that it describes.

B EUSCREENXL METADATA SURVEY

1 Introduction

In the EUscreenXL project, within the framework of Work Package 2 (Aggregating & Enriching Content), two online questionnaires have been circulated to all content providers in the early stages of the project (April 2013). The objective of these questionnaires was to gather information on the content to be provided by all the partners to the EUscreenXL portal and to Europeana, and to analyse the situation regarding their local information infrastructures and practices (metadata standards, classification methods, cataloguing practices, etc.). The results of these questionnaires served also as a basis for the discussions during the regional workshops, organised with all the content providers in May/June 2013. In the following paragraphs we will report some of the most significant outcomes regarding the metadata models in use, the classification schemes adopted, and its implications for the assessment of the EUscreen metadata model, as defined and used in the previous project, EUscreen. The results of the content surveys will be a subject of the Deliverable 2.2 “Publication of content selection policy for enriched content”.

2 Metadata survey findings

As mentioned above, the questionnaires were investigating several aspects from the content details and provision status, IPR conditions and metadata and classifications schemes. We will report below the results of the four main metadata related questions that we gathered, based on the submission by 20 providers:

What metadata standards do you use for cataloguing your audiovisual material in your institution?

EBUCore 2 Dublin core 1 MARC21/MARCXML 0 EN 15907 0 In-house schema 11 Other… 6

D2.1 Publication of metadata schema for Pan-European Aggregator

From the answer above is clear that the 55% of content providers are using an in-house proprietary metadata schema. Analysing the specification of the six answers related to “Others”, we notice that 4 out of 6 replies state that the metadata schema in use is “largely based” on Dublin Core, one reply states that EAD metadata standard is used and another one state that a combination of EBUCore and Dublin Core is used. The conclusion is that the majority of content providers are not using one standard metadata model, but that amongst the most used standard ones is Dublin Core (or DC based), followed by EBUCore.

Please indicate which of the following metadata elements for moving image (film and/or television) are routinely provided by the cataloguing system you use in your own institution.

Response Response Elements Percent Count Title 100,0% 20 Series Title 95,0% 19 Summary/Description 90,0% 18 Production Year 90,0% 18 Broadcast Date 90,0% 18 Item Duration 90,0% 18 Publisher/Broadcaster 85,0% 17 Material type (video, audio, etc.) 80,0% 16 Contributor 80,0% 16 Keywords 80,0% 16 Provider 75,0% 15 Item Color 75,0% 15 Aspect Ratio 75,0% 15 Genre (e.g. news, drama, etc.) 70,0% 14 Item Sound 70,0% 14 Country of Production 65,0% 13 Original Identifier 65,0% 13 Subject Thesaurus 60,0% 12 Geographical Thesaurus 55,0% 11 IPR Restrictions 55,0% 11 Rights, terms and conditions 55,0% 11 Language Used 50,0% 10 Original Language 45,0% 9 Clip Title 40,0% 8 Filename 40,0% 8 Additional information 35,0% 7 Item Type (e.g. whole, extract) 35,0% 7 Subtitle Language 30,0% 6 Topic 25,0% 5 Relation (e.g. linking one item to 25,0% 5 another) URI 25,0% 5 Metadata Language 20,0% 4 Other 20,0% 4

D2.1 Publication of metadata schema for Pan-European Aggregator

The elements listed above are taken from the EUscreen metadata schema. It does not come as a surprise that the main Dublin Core descriptive elements (title, description, type, creator, etc.) are almost always present in the cataloguing systems of the EUscreenXL partners. Apart from the main DC elements, another element is worth mentioning, as it is present 95% of the time: the “series title”. This indicates that in the cataloguing systems of our content providers information on series and serial audiovisual content is considered to be essential information. This finding strongly indicates the need to allow the description of serial content (series record and its episodes) in the EUscreenXL framework.

Does your institution use controlled vocabularies/thesauri for cataloguing audiovisual material?

If YES, please indicate which controlled vocabularies/lists/authority files are used for the following.

Library of Options GeoNames IPTC VIAF IMDb EBUCore Propietary Other Congress Geographic 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 2 names Subject 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 2 thesaurus Historical/time 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 period Events 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 Genre 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 1 Person names 0 0 0 0 1 0 9 1 Roles (producer, 0 0 0 0 1 0 8 1 writer, etc.) Institutions 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 1

D2.1 Publication of metadata schema for Pan-European Aggregator

13 out of 20 content providers are using controlled vocabularies, especially for subject terms, person names, geographic names and genre. However, in most of the cases the controlled vocabularies/thesauri are developed in-house, with the exception of the IMDb authority file for person names and roles and the EBUCore vocabularies for genre, subjects and geographic names.

C THE EUSCREENXL METADATA SCHEMA

1 Introduction

The metadata model defined for the EUscreenXL project is the result of the analysis of all the elements reported in the previous chapters (from the metadata schema of related initiatives, to the input gathered from the internal questionnaires). Starting from the assumption that in EUscreenXL we do not want to define “yet another metadata standard”, but rather – based on the EUscreen experience – improve what has been used effectively in that project, the main conclusion that we can draw from the above mentioned analysis is to embrace as a reference, also for the Pan-European aggregator of audiovisual content, the EBUCore schema, for the simplicity, flexibility and expressivity of its model, for its availability in multiple representations (XML, RDF/OWL, JSON e SMPTE-KLV) and because it is maintained by a large community and by the EBU, which is also a member of the EUscreenXL consortium. The set of metadata elements used to describe the EUscreenXL Core Collection18 will be a subset of the EBUCore elements and for obvious reasons of backward compatibility, it will include almost all the elements that were used in the previous EUscreen project. The main novelty in the EUscreenXL information architecture is the introduction of a record type for the description of series and/or collection content (for a complete definition of series and collection see section B.3 of the “Metadata and Content Handbook”). Series and collections will be a central element in the content selection policy of EUscreenXL, adding a new facet through which users are able to browse audiovisual content on the EUscreenXL portal and allowing content providers to easily select material that can span over a period of years or decades to demonstrate historical changes and to allow comparative studies. When applicable, content providers import or insert in the MINT backend tool series records that will be linked with related item/clip records describing selected episodes (or part of them). The relation between the series record and its episodes will be expressed by the relation type 'hasEpisodes' that will automatically link the unique identifier of the series records to the identifiers of the item/clip records of related episodes (or part of them). For an alphabetically ordered detailed definition of the EUscreenXL metadata elements please refer to Section D: Reference below. A full list of all controlled vocabularies and reference data is available in Section E: List of controlled vocabularies.

4 Conclusions

In defining the EUscreenXL metadata schema we may not have reinvented the wheel, but we tried to perfect it. The decision to build the schema on EBUCore and on the EUscreen metadata model ensures backward compatibility for the 40.000 items of EUscreen audiovisual content. At the same time the introduction of a record type for the series/collection adds a new level of description improving the original EUscreen schema.

D2.1 Publication of metadata schema for Pan-European Aggregator

The newly defined metadata model is flexible enough to be adapted and used for the description of heterogeneous audiovisual content, satisfying the requirements of a Pan-European audiovisual aggregator, and having used EBUCore as a base enables the representation of the EUscreenXL metadata model in RDF/OWL, through the EBUCore ontology, allowing the publication of the EUscreenXL metadata as Linked Open Data and maximizing in this way data diffusion and re-use.

D REFERENCE

The following is an alphabetical list of elements (mandatory and optional), which form the EUscreenXL Common Metadata Scheme based on the EBUcore schema. Each field will include an explanation of the information to be contained for both item/clip and series records. In most instances examples are provided. An important outcome presented in this reference list is the mapping of the EUscreenXL elements towards EDM (the Europeana Data Model). EUscreenXL is going to deliver its aggregated content to the Europeana portal and an accurate semantic mapping between the information structure of EUscreenXL and the one of Europeana is crucial to valorise the audiovisual content that the project will provide. The mapping to EDM is still in a draft form and will be finalised together with the Europeana Foundation by the end of 2013.

A full list of all controlled vocabularies and reference data will be made available on euscreen.eu.
