Determining the event type
Like most other intellectual or artistic creations, audiovisual works can undergo many stages of realisation, usage, modification and re-use. Introducing the concept of event allows us to capture details about these stages as machine-processable metadata.
|
Some countries have (or had) registration schemes for intellectual property rights, applicable to moving image works. EN 15907 defines this event type for cases in which such registration is known. |

Describing and using event information
Describing an event largely follows the famous five Ws (Who, What, Why, When, Where) of journalism (and, indeed, many other kinds of writing). Separating these facets into appropriate metadata elements enables machines to provide us with more useful and interesting ways of accessing and evaluating filmographic data.

The notion of access point has indeed become a subject of debate in the cataloguing community. Suitably designed databases can offer any number of access points for locating resources. Exploring a collection via relationships opens up paths of discovery that cannot be foreseen during the cataloguing process. Relationships with events are particularly useful here since events can act as nodes to which dissimilar resources can be connected via relationships. |
