Knowledge Bank Metadata Application Profile for Digital Video
When submitting digital resources to the Knowledge Bank,
specific types of information about the resource, called metadata, is required.
Different formats of digital resources (e.g., texts, images, videos) require
different metadata to aid in access, discovery, and navigation of the resource.
Below are the specific metadata elements that can be used to describe digital
video in the Knowledge Bank.
The metadata standard used for the Knowledge Bank is the Dublin Core (DC).
| Element Name | Field Name | Definition | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title | dc.title | Name of video | Episode Alpha: Wrecking Physics |
| Creator(s) | dc.creator | Entity(ies) primarily responsible for making the content of the video | Van Woerkom, Linn; Heckler, Andrew |
| Contributor(s) | dc.contributor | Entity(ies) responsible for making contributions to the content of the video (e.g., editor, camera operator) | Freeman, Lynn |

| Sponser | dc.description.sponsor | Organization(s) supporting the creation of the video | The Ohio State University Department of Physics; WOSU |
| Genre | dc.description | Specific genre of video (e.g., panel discussion, lecture, scientific experiment, dramatic performance) | Scientific experiment |
