This is a great resource, especially the compilation of example
encodings that you've provided!
When/if it comes to getting down to the item-level, I am personally
partial (at least currently so) to the approach taken by the
University College Dublin for the Urban Folklore Project. I wonder,
then, how many archivists are using the PBCore schema instead for
these specialized formats (e.g.
http://pbcore.org/case-studies/northeast-historic-film%E2%80%99s-hidd...
I'm no PBCore expert, but I imagine that using it in tandem with EAD
would address a lot of potential encoding issues (even if it's not the
perfect solution for every group of A/V materials), especially since
they are also using the open metadata registry, as seen here in just
this one example: http://metadataregistry.org/concept/list/vocabulary_id/145.html (and, for digital formats, I believe that they would eventually
advocate for the usage of the Unified Digital Format Registry).
Also, I just discovered this group, so if I'm repeating a topic that
has already been discussed before, I apologize.
I'm glad the compilation of examples was helpful to you. You are right, PBCore has the potential to address a lot of the descriptive issues that come up with audiovisual materials. Since my focus of late has been how to describe collections in EAD, I wonder how we at AAA could borrow from PBCore structure and content standards in a way that would be meaningful down the road. Definitely worth further investigation.
Thanks for the resources. This list has not been used at all for discussions, but that doesn't mean we couldn't start now. If anyone is using PBCore and could share their experience, examples, or any details of their implementation, I'm sure it would be of general interest.
Thanks, Megan
