  • ETC Marketing Metadata 1.0
    ETC Marketing Metadata 1.0 Introduction The explosion of online digital content has heightened the need for complete and accurate marketing metadata to assist consumers in search and discovery of movies and television. In addition, the increase in online distributors with widely different content submission requirements makes the delivery of accurate metadata a time-consuming and difficult process for content owners. For this reason, the Entertainment Technology Center organized the Metadata Working Group to create best-practices for the creation and distribution of marketing metadata. This working group is made up of metadata experts from the major Hollywood Studios, film service, and technology companies. Historically, each digital service provider has created its own metadata specification and required that content providers conform their product information to that format. Unfortunately, the lack of standards underpinning those metadata elements -- their names and definition, and the terms used to populate them -- has confounded efforts to streamline the digital distribution, and ultimately the search and discovery, of content. Some forward-looking groups have sought to simplify the process; MovieLabs and the Entertainment Merchant's Association (EMA), for example, recently released Version 1.0 of the EMA Metadata specification, covering information delivered from publishers to retailers (http://www.entmerch.org/ema_metadata_.html). What is typically missing from the various public metadata documents/specifications are details on how content providers should actually construct metadata. This document begins to scratch the surface on that topic -- tackling first and foremost, descriptive metadata (much of what the EMA specification calls "Basic Metadata"). Our goal in writing this document was to provide a set of best practices, based on the combined wisdom of the metadata experts who produce and distribute digital media for the leading Hollywood studios.

    JUNE 2014 WELCOME Earlier this year, theatre-lovers worldwide celebrated William Shakespeare’s 450th birthday. We’re delighted to contribute our own cake to the party with the start of our annual Summer Shakespeare Festival. America boasts a centuries-long tradition of great Shakespeare, and the Globe is proud to be one of this country’s ma- jor Shakespeare theatres. This summer we are pleased to host artists who are some of the best we have at bringing Shakespeare to life today, including direc- tor Mark Lamos, who is helming The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Barry, directing for the first time in the Lowell DOUG GATES Davies Festival Theatre, has assembled an astonishing Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. team of actors for this production of Othello, including Blair Underwood, Richard Thomas, Kristen Connolly, Jonny Orsini, Angela Reed, and Noah Bean. Several members of San Diego’s own professional acting community are joining us too, and as always, our own Old Globe/University of San Diego M.F.A. students, a vital part of the fabric of the Festival, appear in both productions. On our indoor stages this summer are two wonderful productions that complement our Shake- speare work. We welcome the landmark musical Into the Woods back to The Old Globe for the first time since it premiered here nearly three decades ago, in an inventive new production from Fiasco Theater. And we’re offering San Diego audiences their first look at Quartet, Ronald Harwood’s uplifting comedy about four retired opera singers who come together for one final encore.
