METADATA ATTRIBUTES |
|
|
|
The metadata elements clustered under TECHNICAL: MEDIA TYPES, MANIFESTATIONS, RENDITIONS, LOCATIONS & IDS provide both formal and informal designations for the technical manifestations (or instantiations) in which a media item exists. |
|
|
1. MEDIA TYPE: Most often, a media item in the UEN Digital Media Service will be catalogued strictly as a single media type (a video, an audio, a document, image, or interactive object). 2. MEDIA MANIFESTATIONS: A media item may manifest itself as either a digital media item or a corporeal, physical item. 3. DIGITAL RENDITIONS ATTRIBUTES: A digital media item may have multiple file formats or renditions associated with its file type, each with its own set of attributes. These are reported as... TYPE (MIME) SIZE (file size) INFO (file attributes) 4. PHYSICAL RENDITIONS ATTRIBUTES: A physical media item may exist in multiple formats or renditions. End users need to know what that format is, as well as its location and any unique ID associated with the media item at that location. A summary data field draws its information from three attributes that are combined into single statements. PHYSICAL FORMAT: A physical media item may exist in multiple formats or renditions associated with the type of media it is in (VHS, Beta, DVD, CD, etc.) PHYSICAL LOCATION: Renditions for a media item may be available for download from a digital storage location or may be found in some physical location, building, department, library or shelf. For digital media items, the location is irrelevant because the digital asset management system handles the presentation and delivery of the asset to the end user through the web interface. For physical media items, location is relevant to the end user who may wish to acquire the asset. That location should be identified. LOCATION ID: The Location ID employs an unambiguous reference or identifier for a media item in a specific location. Best practice is to identify the media item with a string or number corresponding to an established or formal identification system if one exists (Dewey Decimal, Library of Congress, Amazon.com, etc.) |

The descriptor MEDIA TYPE-INFORMAL identifies at a general, high level, how content is being presented to an observer, e.g, as a sound or text or video. The picklist of values formulated by eMedia for MEDIA TYPE-INFORMAL are condsidered to be best suited for educational venues and our end users. |
|
umap_media_type_formal is a companion metadata field which use slightly less colloquial terms to identify the media type for an item. It is used for cataloging and not published to end users. The data (from their standardized list of media types) is useful if a crosswalk needs to be conducted with an external metadata schema. |

Media type-Formal |
|
[for cataloging] |
|
|
The descriptor MEDIA TYPE-FORMAL identifies at a general, high level, the type of media that presents content to an observer, e.g, as a sound or text or moving image. |
|
UMAP has formulated a companion metadata field called MEDIA TYPE-INFORMAL with a picklist of values more suitable to educational venues and end users. umap_media_type_formal is a companion metadata field which use slightly less colloquial terms to identify the media type for an item. It is used for cataloging and not published to end users. The data (from their standardized list of media types) is useful if a crosswalk needs to be conducted with an external metadata schema. |

The formal media types are drawn from a list of terms used by the Library of Congress and Dublin Core. For a comprehensive definitions of each media type, see Dublin Core Media Types The brief definitions are provided under "Explanation of picklist terms... |
|
More info explaining the picklist terms... |
|
Animation The term "animation" is not part of the Dublin Core list of media types. A media item that is an animation, whether television, film, or computer software-based (like Flash), is more quickly understood to be a certain media type in the end user mind, rather than if the media item were called a Moving Image. Collection A collection is an aggregation of items. The term collection means that the resource is described as a group; its parts may be separately described and navigated. Dataset A dataset is information encoded in a defined structure (for example, lists, tables, and databases), intended to be useful for direct machine processing. Event An event is a non-persistent, time-based occurrence. Metadata for an event provides descriptive information that is the basis for discovery of the purpose, location, duration, responsible agents, and links to related events and resources. The resource of type event may not be retrievable if the described instantiation has expired or is yet to occur. Examples - exhibition, web-cast, conference, workshop, open-day, performance, battle, trial, wedding, tea-party, conflagration. Image An image is a primarily symbolic visual representation other than text. It is a static visual representation. Examples of still images are: paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type "text" to images of textual materials. Instances of the type "Still Image" must also be describable as instances of the broader type "Image". Interactive Resource An interactive resource is a resource which requires interaction from the user to be understood, executed, or experienced. For example - forms on web pages, applets, multimedia learning objects, chat services, virtual reality. Moving Image A series of visual representations that, when shown in succession, impart an impression of motion. Examples of moving images are: animations, movies, television programs, videos, zoetropes, or visual output from a simulation. Physical Object An inanimate, three-dimensional object or substance. For example -- a computer, the great pyramid, a sculpture. Note that digital representations of, or surrogates for, these things should use Image, Text or one of the other types. Service A service is a system that provides one or more functions of value to the end-user. Examples include: a photocopying service, a banking service, an authentication service, interlibrary loans, a Z39.50 or Web server. Software Software is a computer program in source or compiled form which may be available for installation non-transiently on another machine. For software which exists only to create an interactive environment, use interactive instead. Sound A sound is a resource whose content is primarily intended to be rendered as audio. For example - a music playback file format, an audio compact disc, and recorded speech or sounds. Text A text is a resource whose content is primarily words for reading. For example - books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre text |

A media item may be available as a file for download from a digital storage location or it may be found as a real, physical, corporeal item or object in some location, building, department, library or shelf. For a media item, separate database records are created for its digital manifestations versus its physical manifestations, even when the digital and physical versions of a media item share the same TITLE. |

A physical media item may exist in multiple formats or renditions. End users need to know what that format is, as well as its location and any unique ID associated with the media item at that location. A summary data field draws its information from three attributes that are combined into a single statement. PHYSICAL FORMAT: A physical media item may exist in multiple formats or renditions associated with the type of media it is in (VHS, Beta, DVD, CD, etc.) PHYSICAL LOCATION: Renditions for a media item may be available for download from a digital storage location or may be found in some physical location, building, department, library or shelf. For digital media items, the location is irrelevant because the digital asset management system handles the presentation and delivery of the asset to the end user through the web interface. For physical media items, location is relevant to the end user who may wish to acquire the asset. That location should be identified. LOCATION ID or CALL NUMBER: The Location ID employs an unambiguous reference or identifier for a media item in a specific location. Best practice is to identify the media item with a string or number corresponding to an established or formal identification system if one exists (Dewey Decimal, Library of Congress, Amazon.com, etc.) [cascades from umap_media_instantation when "Physical media item" or "Both digital and physical media item" is selected] |

Structured Free Text: There is a specific structure to the entry of data for the metadata field PHYSICAL FORMATS AND LOCATIONS. The structured syntax is free text data entry, but uses rules. With these rules, a simple and consistent "statement" is created that identifies the media formats available, from what locations, and with what specific call number/ID number. FORMAT INFO: Identify the format available. A style guide is provided to assist in selecting an appropriate name for the format. For example: VHS videocassette book audio cassette photo CD-Audio DVD-Video 1-inch videotape If the available media consists of multiple formats that are bundled as one kit, use a "+" sign after the first format, then append the second. 1 book + 3 audio cassettes LOCATION INFO: Identify the location of a particular media format by adding a : (semicolon) + space after the format designation. Then enter the location. DVD-Video; Marriott Library, University of Utah ID or CALL NUMBER: If there is a specific call number or unique ID number that is used to identifiy and locate the media format, add it to the statement by use of a ; (semicolon) + space after the earlier content. Then add the ID. BetaSP; UIMC: Utah Instructional Media Consortium; BA123456 ADDITIONAL FORMATS: For media items available in additional physical formats from other locations, append a second or third summary statement within the same metadata field. Consider ending the first statement with a Period+Space+Space. Then enter the second summary statement. BetaSP; UIMC: Utah Instructional Media Consortium; BA123456.

[could be referred to as "Digital Renditions"] Digital media files that are delivered over the Internet have been categorized according to standardized MIME types, or Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. These are also referred to as "Content Types" because their digital format contains a specific type of content that can be identified and interpreted by e-mail programs and web browsers. There are a handful of standardized Content Types: applications, audio, images, messages, models, multipart, text, and video. For each, a unique alphnumeric designation has been agreed upon by standards and registration bodies. |
|
North Plains will, by default, assign and display the correct MIME type for a file or rendition and display that information under the label "TYPE." For some end users, the designation may seem cryptic. Nevertheless, eMedia prefers to supply this information (in INFO views) so end users know they are evaluating a jpeg, a tiff, a pdf, a QT moov file, etc. [NOTE: We may write a conversion that translates the cryptic MIME type designation into a more user-friendly identifier, e.g., mov instead of moov.] |

Outside of specific digital asset management systems, metadata schemas must usually define all the individual technical attributes of a media item, particularly for digital instantiations. However, North Plains Telescope actually collects much of this information on its own when a digital file or rendition is associated with a metadata record. This information about the file may be exposed or hidden from the end user in thumbnail and summary views for media items. The default File Size detected by North Plains is exposed to eMedia's end users. |

The attributes that are automatically collected under the North Plains label "INFO" depend on the File or MIME Type and include: FOR VIDEO... 1. Horizontal x Vertical pixel dimensions 2. Number of "tracks" 3. Duration (even though Duration is also reported elsewhere) Here is an example of the display: Info: 240 x 180 pixels, 2 tracks, 1:19 duration FOR AUDIO... 1. Number of "tracks" 2. Duration (even though Duration is also reported elsewhere) Here is an example of the display: Info: 1 tracks, 29:22 duration FOR IMAGES... 1. Horizontal x Vertical pixel dimensions 2. Color depth Here is an example of the display: Info: 1024 x 768 pixels, 24 bits/pixel FOR DOCUMENTS... 1. Horizontal x Vertical dimensions 2. Number of pages Here is an example of the display: Info: 1.4 x 1.8 inches, 3 pages |

This is an automatically derived data field, completely separate from the data found in North Plains pre-installed default field NP_file_info. This field can be used to identify durations for any media type, whether digital (or physical), and uses a more descriptive, understandable syntax to display the durations. Basically, the SMPTE timecode formating of XX:XX:XX is converted to XXhr XXmin XXsec |
|
The North Plains NP_file_info data that may include a duration for time-based media only presents those values in preselected layouts, and not as part of regular metadata entries. This is why UMAP has its own "Duration" metadata field that is totally under our control for data entry and presentation. |

This is an automatically derived data field, completely separate from the data found in North Plains pre-installed default field NP_file_info. This field can be used to identify durations for any media type, whether digital (or physical), and uses a more descriptive, understandable syntax to display the durations. Basically, the SMPTE timecode formating of XX:XX:XX is converted to XXhr XXmin XXsec UMAP does not anticipate the need to report durations down to the "frame" or "millisecond" level. Each unit of time (hours, minutes, seconds) has a suffix attached to the actual number associated with it. Do NOT use plural abbreviations for these designations for units of time. Use a SINGULAR abbreviation, i.e., No space should separate the number from its designation for unit of time. A single space should separate each unit of time, i.e., See the examples for other sample entries. |

umap_media_duration This is an automatically derived data field, completely separate from the data found in North Plains pre-installed default field NP_file_info. This field can be used to identify durations for any media type, whether digital (or physical), and uses a more descriptive, understandable syntax to display the durations. Basically, the SMPTE timecode formating of XX:XX:XX is converted to XXhr XXmin XXsec PUNCTUATION: No space should separate the number from its designation for unit of time. EXAMPLE ENTRY: |

The admin override used to be called "Media Duration" and is now revised to just "Duration" DO NOT REMOVE CASCADE VISIBILITY on final database. Duration data appears when umap_media_type_informal = "video" or "audio" NOTE: can a trigger be written to calculate the duration data from NP_file_into and place it in umap_media_duration in our proper format. |
