  1. BMS/Chace Commercial Multitrack Metadata Collection Project NDIIPP Partners Meeting July 21, 2010 Washington, DC

  2. Project overview • Background: • Genesis of the project started with The Recording Academy Producers & Engineers Wing Deliverables Committee (established 2002) • NDIIPP Grant awarded in 2007 to BMS/Chace • Constituency: • Record Labels (major and independent), Artists, Engineers, Producers and other participants involved in the commercial recording process

  3. Project overview • Issues/ Problems: • No consistent information collected during the recording process (technical and descriptive metadata) • Who are the participants and their roles? • How can we connect metadata from beginning to vaulting? • Are we supporting existing standards? • How can we make the documentation process as “painless” as possible? • How can labels ingest the metadata into existing IT infrastructures?

  4. Commercial metadata needs are different • Institutional vs. commercial standards • INSTITUTIONS are generally aware of their holdings at a basic level (cataloged objects) • INSTITUTIONS typically have a “best-practices” workflow to insure consistency of metadata ingest • COMMERCIAL USERS of recorded assets typically do not have “end-to-end” life cycle or digital asset management systems in place • COMMERCIAL USERS are driven by market forces that can override the collection of metadata

  5. Current Status of Project • Collection Application Now Exists! • Launch meetings scheduled for Nashville, Los Angeles, and New York City at Recording Academy offices • Cross-platform • Ease of use a high priority • Depth of metadata collection is left to the user • Will export metadata to project schema • Working with DDEX to “complete the loop” between creation and ecommerce

  6. Obstacles • The economy directly impacted some of our initial partners (changed names and job functions) • Peer review of data dictionaries, field names, etc. is difficult – those who will benefit most from the project are not easily engaged into this dialog • If our work is not integrated into other commercial standards (DDEX, ISO, ISWC, CISAC), then we have not helped the problem

  7. Next steps • Education • Recording Academy’s 12 U.S Chapters • GRAMMY University Network Student Membership • Outreach • Continue working with standards organizations to promote transparency in commerce • Conferences, workshops, panels • Alliances with industry organizations; AES, APRS, DDEX, CISAC, and others • Blogs, free hosting/ FTP for a limited time
