PBCore is a metadata standard for audiovisual media maintained by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It provides a rich set of descriptors for radio and television programs, in both analog and digital formats. This module adds Language, Rating, and Genre vocabularies, populates the terms, and defines fields that can be used on any content type.
The PBCore standard is based on Dublin Core with a number of added elements useful for media. Since its initial release in 2005, PBCore has been adopted by many users in public media, as well as film archives, academic institutions, and other audiovisual collections and archives.
Organized as a set of specified fields that can be used in database applications, PBCore is utilized as a data model for media cataloging and asset management systems. As a schema, it enables data exchange between media collections, systems and organizations.
