12、 EN 15744:2009 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15744:2009) has been prepared by CEN/TC 372 “Cinematographic Works”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the
13、latest by September 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any
14、or all such patent rights. In recent years, there has been a proliferation of new metadata 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. In deve
15、loping a new standard this is one of the main issues to which CEN/TC 372 “Cinematographic Works” has needed to address. It is also 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 datab
16、ases. To help reconcile some of the data inconsistencies that will inevitably exist in such a volume of data from so many disparate sources, the standard seeks to provide a bridge between the data that exists and the emerging technologies chosen to represent this data. The principle of EN 15744 is t
17、o enable the clearest possible enunciation of data that is available to assist with the task of resource identification. The aim of prEN 15907 is to provide a framework for improved interoperability of that data by providing a common definition for that data. CEN/TC 372 “Cinematographic Works“ was s
18、et up to develop the European standards mandated by the European Commission. The Task Force decided to fulfil the tasks listed in the mandate M/365 by developing two projects: EN 15744 “Film Identification Minimum set of metadata for cinematographic works“; which contains a minimum set of 15 data el
19、ements considered necessary for the identification of cinematographic works. In addition, it contains a unified terminology required for the clear understanding of the standard. prEN 15907 “Film Identification Enhancing interoperability of metadata Element sets and structures”, which provides a comp
20、rehensive standard for the representation and exchange of metadata for cinematographic works, as well as a comprehensive and consistent terminology. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European
21、 Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kin
22、gdom. DIN EN 15744:2009-07 EN 15744:2009 (E) 4 Introduction Cinematographic works are an essential component of European cultural heritage. Film history and culture is recognized as an integral part of everything from tourism to documentary evidence and is known to have a significant impact on cultu
23、re 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 and other cultural organisations have the responsibilit
24、y to both preserve and make accessible film heritage. This responsibility includes acquisition of culturally important works; preservation through good storage and duplication to modern stable formats; curatorial research and interpretation; and programming and exhibition. Key to all of these activi
25、ties 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 databases are organized and implemented. Experts of all E
26、uropean countries have recognized that this variance stands in the way of interoperability and commonality of data. The European Commission charged CEN with a mandate on 14 March 2005 to create a metadata standard for cinematographic works. In response to this mandate, this standard undertakes to de
27、fine the metadata essential for data migration between databases and consistent identification of films. The primary users of this European standard will be film archives, film museums, cinematheques and any other cultural organisations with filmographic databases. They will also be the primary bene
28、ficiaries of the implementation of this European standard throughout Europe, as it will facilitate their access to filmographic metadata on works held by other organisations. Researchers, universities, students and the general public will also benefit in that it will be easier to integrate the infor
29、mation contained in the databases into larger information systems if it is organised according to this European standard. The standard will also benefit film producers which, like the primary users, will be able to organize their metadata as defined by the standard. In consequence, this European sta
30、ndard is 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 cultural material in line with the objectives set out in the Commission Recommendation on the digitisation and online accessibility o
31、f cultural material and digital preservation of 24 August 2006. As requested by the European Commissions mandate, this standard is based on international recommendations and practices. It should be noted that this European Standard is intended to define and enable the selection of those data element
32、s that are considered of prime importance for distinguishing and identifying individual cinematographic works. Information necessary to implement a representation of cinematographic metadata in practice will be provided in prEN 15907. DIN EN 15744:2009-07 EN 15744:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European St
33、andard contains a comprehensive set of metadata elements for representing information about cinematographic works, their variants and manifestations. Detailed information on available media items, viewing requirements, and access conditions is not covered by this standard. However, elementary inform
34、ation concerning the availability of media items can be expressed. This European Standard also provides some extension points for adding more detailed data types without violating conformance. The guiding principle here is that no information from existing filmographic records should be lost when th
35、ese are expressed according to this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any a

41、ages recorded by whatever means and on whatever medium, whether or not accompanied by sound, capable of conveying an impression of movement 4 Minimum Set of Data Elements required for Interoperability 4.1 Principles Clause 4 defines a set of 15 data elements fundamental in the identification of cine
42、matographic works. These data elements are the minimum set of data elements necessary for identifying cinematographic works when exchanging information on such works e.g. among national film archives. Since one of the objectives of this European Standard is the improvement of interoperability betwee
43、n different databases, the minimum set of data elements defined herein shall be supplied by all organizations participating in an exchange of information on cinematographic works held by them. NOTE 1 The minimum set of data elements may serve as a tool enabling organizations to identify those pieces
44、 of information on cinematographic works which need to be selected from within their own databases when interchanging such information with other organizations. NOTE 2 Detailed information needed to implement a representation of cinematographic metadata in practice is provided in prEN 15907. 4.2 Pre
