Pursuing PBCore: The Revitalization of a Schema and Community (AMIA 2014)

SURVEY GOALS:
+ Identify areas of need;
+ Develop a broad view of current practice across
user-groups;
+ Who’s using it and who isn’t? Why?
+ Understand hurdles (real and perceived) to
implementation;
+ So that the Team can:
+ create new resources and training opportunities;
+ supplement existing resources; and
+ guide resources to resolve pain points &
encourage use.

139 RESPONDENTS:
+ 31 currently using PBCore
+ Guideline for describing/cataloging
+ Data model for custom database/application
+ Exchange mechanism between applications/
organization
+ 72 not currently using PBCore
+ 36 did not indicate use

GOOD NEWS,
EVERYONE!
We use PBCore:
+ to create records internally in a standardized way, &
share records with users and other organizations.
+ to share PBCore XML with our long term repository.
+ to map incoming descriptive and technical metadata
into our media asset management system.
+ to describe assets that have multiple copies in
different formats, & items that contain multiple parts.
+ as framework for development of internal standard.
+ for its extensibility and granularity.

(CONSTRUCTIVE)
CRITICISM:
+ Difficulty navigating website, GitHub.
+ No examples to work from.
+ What does ‘good’ PBCore look like???
+ No best practices / lack of crosswalks
+ Flexibility is intimidating. (“It does too much.”)
+ Vocabularies: “bad / confusing / inconsistent.”
+ Inadequate/unclear definitions
+ Not helpful to lay-people
+ Steep learning curve

POINTS FOR
CONSIDERATION:
+ “Not a standard in academic libraries” / “Not
appropriate for libraries”
+ Better used for digital assets, not analog
+ MARC and EAD better suited for AV collections
+ Switch from one standard to another is a headache
+ “Intended specifically for broadcasters”
+ “Dublin Core can be manipulated to fit all of our needs"

IT’S LARGELY A
MARKETING PROBLEM.
I don’t use PBCore because:
I’ve never heard of it.
It’s too intense!
It’s too complicated!
It’s too time-consuming!

SO, WHAT
NOW?
SUBCOMMITTEE ACTIVITIES IN RESPONSE.
ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS?

“Most of our assumptions
have outlived their
uselessness.”!
Marshall McLuhan

Where Dublin Core breaks down with audio
and video
The One-to-One principle is inefficient and/or
messy when dealing with multiple
manifestations of a media asset.
(See: Steven J. Miller, The One-To-One Principle: Challenges in Current
Practice)

Key PBCore Concepts:
✤ Asset: the media item in the abstract!
✤ Instantiation: a physical or digital instance of the asset!
✤ An Asset can have one of more Instantiations

What are we really doing?
• Cataloging media objects!
• Creating sharable metadata

Slightly Less Stupid CMS Tricks

We have to create !
good data

We can export and !
import the data

Principles:
• Catalog all media objects!
• No more data silos!
• Systems exchange data with other
systems!
• They don’t have to be the same systems!
• Standards make exchange possible

Sustaining and sharing the data is our only hope
