EN 15744 is a metadata set for basic identification of cinematographic works prepared under the Terms of Reference for CEN Technical Committee 372. Available in English, French and German from all European national standards bodies and from CEN affiliates outside of Europe. The French version is also a national standard under the number NF Z44-100.

Unlike its companion standard, EN 15907 defines a set of data element considered relevant for the identification of audiovisual creations at the work level. Since moving image works cannot be completely abstracted from the medium in which they were created, the EN 15744 element set includes some properties of an "original" incarnation of the work in an audiovisual medium.

Data elements

Title		A word, phrase, character, or group of characters, normally appearing in an item, naming the item or the work contained in it.
Series / Serial		A series is a group of separate items related to one another by the fact that each item bears, in addition to its own title, a collective title applying to the group as a whole. A serial is a type of “short subject” work which is characterized principally by the episodic development of a story.
Cast		A collective term for actors and their roles. A broad distinction is made between cast and credits by defining cast as those in front of the camera and credits as those behind the camera.
Credits		The names and functions of persons responsible for the production and/or artistic or intellectual content of a cinematographic work. The term “credits” is often used more specifically to distinguish between those behind the camera from “cast”, those in front of the camera.
