[Dspace-general] Video Metadata in DSpace

[Mark Diggory]

Are you looking for mapping to QDC from an existing standard like  
MPEG or METS? Or are you looking for the best way to preserve your  
metadata? If its the later, I would look into capturing as much  
metadata using a format specific standard like MPEG or the  METS AV  
extension, and the mapping to QDC from there. IF its the former, what  
standard are you already capturing your metadata in?

You might look at the METS schema extension being developed by LoC.

You might also look at MPEG
http://www.mpegif.org/

Good documentation on MPEG-7
