The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) Voting Members have approved a new project, Assess Video and Audio Metadata and Standards for Academic Research and Professional Information, to determine best practices and recommendations for metadata associated with scholarly output and instructional materials in video and audio formats.
NISO is now forming a working group. Community members with an understanding of the various use cases of such media are invited to participate in this initiative intended to formulate recommendations for consistent and precise identification and description of these increasingly common presentations of research findings.
According to Nettie Lagace, NISO’s Associate Director of Programs, this effort will require a cross-section of participants as well as a cross section of expertise and skill sets. The success of the Working Group’s effort requires collaboration between those possessing an in-depth knowledge of the various metadata models as well as those with expertise in streaming technologies. Those interested in participating in the Working Group should contact Lagace at nlagace@niso.org.
