This one-hour session is designed to give museum, library, broadcasting and archive staff insight into this relatively new metadata schema, Public Broadcasting Core (PBCore).

The PBCore is a "core" because it is a set of elements used to catalog media resources, including oral histories. PBCore captures rich, comprehensive technical and descriptive metadata about audio and moving-images resources. It provides researchers and other users of media resources well-thought-out descriptions that will help them decide whether to review, play or download a media file.

This session is being presented by two members of BCR's digital and preservation services program:

Anne Marie Lyons - Digital Initiatives Trainer

Leigh Grinstead - Digital Initiatives Consultant

Attendees of this presentation should have a basic understanding of metadata and Dublin Core.
