instantiationIdentifier will be the same physical asset tape ID for both
records.
pbcoreIdentifier for each show is uniquely defined in our program DAM
system.
It seems like there should be a place in pbcore to put the "cut" number,
so someone would know what order the shows are on the single tape.
Where should this metadata go?
(Sorry if I've missed this. Everything else is coming together, but this
one still eludes me.)
Bruce
The thought had occurred to me, but then it is no longer literally a physical asset ID.
But if there is no better way identified, I'll be inclined to do the same.

Subject: Re: [PBCore-talk] Cuts
We solved the problem at WTVS, by adding an integer to the end of the unique identifier, such as WTVS000111.1, WTVS000111.2, WTVS000111.3 ect.
This is how we were able to work with the bluray assets.
I was hoping there was a better home for "cut", thinking it might solve
another problem.
We have a bunch of other tapes that are edit masters over the years of
segments for our public affairs show. On these tapes, the cuts are
identified conveniently by time code rather than by cut number. This makes
it easy to find each cut when shuttling the tape. Where should the time
code go? I suppose I could make yet another "description" of the type
"timecode". But this seems kludgy.
I could instead add the timecode to the unique ID. Again, kludgy.
To make matters worse, we also have meta-data-only records providing tags
unique to each "chapter" of our web-published shows, where there is BOTH a
chapter number and a starting timecode. Do I add BOTH to the unique ID?

This is all data, longing for a good home in pbcoreland.
Will anyone take it in?
Bruce
I guess you wouldn't have to include startTime and stopTime attributes if
that's going to be too much work at this point, but it's an option that
gets more specific.

One could also use the pbcorePart to describe cuts.
Both of these allow for startEndTimeGroup.

I'm reminded to look deeper than the submission spreadsheet, for these
richer features. Long ago, I got pretty familiar with v 1.0. But I've yet
gotten as far with v 2.0! Thanks for steering me to the new stuff. I'll be
using it!
