This European Standard shall be given the status of
19、a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject o
20、f patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. In recent years, there has been a proliferation of new met
21、adata standards intended to provide greater control, consistency and accuracy of the data in the ever-expanding environment of the World Wide Web, through, for example, links to shared named authority files. This is one of the main issues CEN/TC 372 “Cinematographic Works” had to address. It is also
22、 the case that the data that exists in many cultural organisations across Europe has been compiled over many years and in some cases predates the advent of computer databases. To help reconcile some of the data inconsistencies that will inevitably exist in such a volume of data from so many disparat
23、e sources, this standard, together with EN 15744, seeks to provide a bridge between the data that exists and the emerging technologies chosen to represent this data. While the principle of EN 15744 is to enable the clearest possible enunciation of data that is available to assist with the task of re
24、source identification, the aim of EN 15907 is to provide a framework for improved interoperability of that data by providing a common definition for that data. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement th

26、d and the United Kingdom. DIN EN 15907:2010-12 EN 15907:2010 (E) 5 Introduction Cinematographic works are an essential component of European cultural heritage. Film history and culture is recognized as an integral part of everything from leisure to education, from art and fiction to documentary and
27、is known to have a significant impact on culture and education worldwide. This has been emphasized by the European Parliament and Council Recommendation of 16 November 2005 on film heritage and the competitiveness of related industrial activities. Film archives, film museums, cinematheques, librarie
28、s and other cultural organisations have the responsibility to both preserve and make film heritage accessible. This responsibility includes acquisition of culturally important works; preservation through good storage and duplication to modern stable formats; curatorial research and interpretation; a
29、nd programming and exhibition. Key to all of these activities is the responsibility of creating and maintaining databases containing information about the films. Without such documentation preservation and access activities are not possible. At present, there is great variation in how filmographic d
30、atabases are organized and implemented. Experts of all European countries have recognized that this variance stands in the way of interoperability and commonality of data. On 14 March 2005, the European Commission charged CEN with a mandate to create metadata standards for cinematographic works. In
31、response to this mandate two standards, EN 15907:2010 and EN 15744:2009, have been developed to define the metadata essential for facilitating data exchange between databases and consistent identification of films. The primary users of this European Standard will be film archives, film museums, cine
32、matheques and any other cultural organisations with databases about audiovisual media. They will also be the primary beneficiaries of the implementation of this European Standard throughout Europe as it will facilitate their access to filmographic metadata on works held by other organisations. Resea
33、rchers, universities, students and the general public will also benefit in that it will be easier to integrate the information contained in the databases into larger information systems if it is organised according to these European Standards. The standards will also benefit film producers which, li
34、ke the primary users, will be able to organize their metadata as defined by the standard. In consequence, these European Standards are expected to raise the visibility of Europes rich and diverse film heritage on the internet, and to improve access to it by citizens and professional users of cultura
35、l material in line with the objectives set out in the Commission Recommendation on the digitisation and online accessibility of cultural material and digital preservation of 24 August 2006. As requested by the European Commissions mandate, this standard provides a comprehensive set of metadata for t
36、he description of cinematographic works, as well as a comprehensive and consistent terminology, whereas EN 15744 defines and enables the selection of those data elements that are considered of prime importance for distinguishing and identifying individual cinematographic works. DIN EN 15907:2010-12
37、EN 15907:2010 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a set of metadata for the description of cinematographic works, as well as a terminology for use by parties wishing to exchange such descriptive metadata. It also defines some basic entities and relationships useful for defining data model
38、s as well as for structuring hierarchically ordered and serialised representations of metadata about cinematographic works including their variants, manifestations, and items. Specific vocabularies for values of elements and attributes are mandated only in selected cases, and only if these vocabular
39、ies are actively maintained by a standardisation body. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

44、 4 Primary Entities 4.1 Cinematographic Work 4.1.1 General This entity forms the node that relates all variants and manifestations of a moving image work to a common creation. The concept of cinematographic work comprises both the intellectual or artistic content and the process of realisation in a
45、cinematographic medium. Since this process determines the characteristics which are expected to persist in any variant of a cinematographic work, this entity is defined here as the topmost level of description. Characteristics that should remain constant throughout all variants of a cinematographic
46、work include circumstances of the creation process such as date(s) and place(s) of production, most contributions by agents such as directors, screenwriters, production staff and cast members, as well as any statements about the contents. Statements about the extent of a cinematographic work are not
47、 defined at this level of description. If a statement about an “original format“ is required, then this may be expressed through an associated instance of manifestation labelled with a suitable type name such as “original“. A cinematographic realisation of a pre-existing non-film work is considered
48、as a cinematographic work. This includes pure performance works such as concerts, original theatre performances, sports events, etc. Moving images created by use of automatic devices such as surveillance cameras, scientific or medical instruments, etc. can be considered as cinematographic works if t
49、hey are part of an archive collection or if they have been edited, published or distributed by a known Agent. Instances of the Cinematographic Work entity may have one-to-many relationships with instances of Variant and Manifestation and many-to-many relationships with instances of Agent, Event and Content. 4.1.2 Attributes descriptionLevel A
