PBCore Webinar Recording

On October 23, 2014, the AMIA PBCore Advisory Subcommittee’s Education Team offered a webinar titled “PBCore: A How-to and Why-to Webinar.” The presenters offered contextual background; explained the benefits and reasons why PBCore is perfectly suited for managing audiovisual collections; offered step-by-step guidance on inventorying av assets and getting started with PBCore; and described the use of PBCore in different settings, such as asset management, digital preservation, archival description, and use with other schemas such as PREMIS and METS.

The PBCore Advisory Subcommittee is encouraged by the recent invigoration among archivists, librarians, and others managing media collections who are beginning to deal with their deteriorating av collections, as well as the digital video and audio collections, and we are confident that PBCore has a place in these efforts. PBCore is uniquely suited to provide a standard way to record and manage metadata for video and audio.

We look forward to providing more opportunities like this webinar in the future, as well as improving the schema over the next few months, clarifying and improving documentation, creating our new website, and generating new PBCore resources.
