METADATA DESCRIPTORS |
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.) |

[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.] |
