At present, there is great variation in how filmographic databases are organized and implemented. Experts of all European countries have recognized that this variance stands in the way of interoperability and commonality of data. On 14 March 2005, the European Commission charged CEN with a mandate to create metadata standards for cinematographic works. In response to this mandate two standards, EN 15907:2010 and EN 15744:2009, have been developed to define the metadata essential for facilitating data exchange between databases and consistent identification of films. The primary users of this European Standard will be film archives, film museums, cinematheques and any other cultural organisations with databases about audiovisual media. They will also be the primary beneficiaries of the implementation of this European Standard throughout Europe as it will facilitate their access to filmographic metadata on works held by other organisations. Researchers, universities, students and the general public will also benefit in that it will be easier to integrate the information contained in the databases into larger information systems if it is organised according to these European Standards. The standards will also benefit film producers which, like the primary users, will be able to organize their metadata as defined by the standard. In consequence, these European Standards are expected to raise the visibility of Europe's rich and diverse film heritage on the internet, and to improve access to it by citizens and professional users of cultural material in line with the objectives set out in the Commission Recommendation on the digitisation and online accessibility of cultural material and digital preservation of 24 August 2006. As requested by the European Commission's mandate, this standard provides a comprehensive set of metadata for the description of cinematographic works, as well as a comprehensive and consistent terminology, whereas EN 15744 defines and enables the selection of those data elements that are considered of prime importance for distinguishing and identifying individual cinematographic works.

association between the same or different entities NOTE Relationships may have attributes. 4 Primary Entities 4.1 Cinematographic Work 4.1.1 General This entity forms the node that relates all variants and manifestations of a moving image work to a common creation. The concept of cinematographic work comprises both the intellectual or artistic content and the process of realisation in a cinematographic medium. Since this process determines the characteristics which are expected to persist in any variant of a cinematographic work, this entity is defined here as the topmost level of description. Characteristics that should remain constant throughout all variants of a cinematographic work include circumstances of the creation process such as date(s) and place(s) of production, most contributions by agents such as directors, screenwriters, production staff and cast members, as well as any statements about the contents. Statements about the extent of a cinematographic work are not defined at this level of description. If a statement about an "original format" is required, then this may be expressed through an associated instance of manifestation labelled with a suitable type name such as "original". A cinematographic realisation of a pre-existing non-film work is considered as a cinematographic work. This includes pure performance works such as concerts, original theatre performances, sports events, etc. Moving images created by use of automatic devices such as surveillance cameras, scientific or medical instruments, etc. can be considered as cinematographic works if they are part of an archive collection or if they have been edited, published or distributed by a known Agent. Instances of the Cinematographic Work entity may have one-to-many relationships with instances of Variant and Manifestation and many-to-many relationships with instances of Agent, Event and Content. 4.1.2 Attributes descriptionLevel
A one-character symbol indicating the role of the cinematographic work within part-whole relationships. a - Analytic (component part), content that is contained in another content. A component part may itself be either monographic or serial. m - Monographic. Complete content in one part or intended to be completed in a finite number of parts. s - Serial. Content issued in successive parts and intended to be continued indefinitely. c - Collection. Content issued in several independent parts. Status: mandatory 4.1.3 Elements Identifier (one or more). Defined in 6.1. Record source (one or more). Defined in 6.2. SIST EN 15907:2010

Each instance of Variant is related to a Cinematographic Work and may have one-to-many relationships with instances of Manifestation, and many-to-many relationships with instances of Agent and Event. If no variant of a cinematographic work is known, then the instance of this entity may be omitted or represented by an empty node connecting an instance of Cinematographic Work with one or more instances of Manifestation. 4.2.2 Attributes sourceID An identifier for the variant-level record, if this exists in the database from which the filmographic record was produced. SIST EN 15907:2010

Instances of Item shall have a many-to-one relationship with an instance of Manifestation. 4.4.2 Attributes sourceID An identifier for the item-level record, if this exists in the database from which the filmographic record was produced. Status: optional 4.4.3 Elements Title
Titles should be given on the item level (a) if it is not known if the title found on or in the item has been used for other items of the same manifestation, (b) if no title is known or directly applicable (such as for trims, outtakes and rushes from the production of published works) and the archive has created its own descriptive SIST EN 15907:2010

Defined in 6.17. 4.5.4 Allowed relationships None. 5 Contextual Entities 5.1 Agent 5.1.1 General An Agent is defined as an entity that is involved in the creation, realization, curation or exploitation of a Cinematographic Work, Variant, Manifestation or Item. Typical distinctions between agent types are Person, Corporate Body, Family and Person Group.
An instance of Agent may be represented in one of the following ways: • by inclusion of an authority record. With this representation, the user of a cinematographic work record can re-build the relevant parts of the authority file that was used for preparing the record.
• by name. This method may be used alone if no authority file for the Agent instance was available when the cinematographic work record was prepared. These three methods may be used in any combination. For example, a full authority record may be included only once within a contiguous collection of cinematographic work records, and referred to by use of an identifier (or an identifier and a name) in all other cases. Names alone may occur in combination with authority-based references or records if the latter are only available for some instances of Agent. An Agent authority record included within a cinematographic work record may have any internal structure, provided that all corresponding elements are identified by a namespace prefix that can be resolved to a schema declaration. 5.1.2 Attributes sourceID An identifier for the relationship record, if this exists and has an identifier in the database from which the filmographic record was produced. Status: optional 5.1.3 Elements Name The name of the Agent (person, group, etc.) credited for a particular activity. A name may appear either as the sole identifier for an agent, or in conjunction with an agent reference or instance. Cardinality: one or more Agent type The class of Agent, e.g. Person, Corporate Body, Person Group, etc., may be omitted if no distinction is made between classes of Agents. Cardinality: zero or one Agent reference A resource identifier denoting an associated Agent record in an authority file. Cardinality: zero or more Agent instance A (partial) record from an authority file identifying the Agent. Each sub-element shall carry a namespace identifier that resolves to a schema declaration in which it is defined. Cardinality: zero or more SIST EN 15907:2010

An unambiguous reference of the scope within which the identifier is unique. References may take the form of an internationally known identification scheme, an XML namespace identifier (e.g. http://deutsches-filminstitut.de/zfdb/id), or a URN namespace (e.g. URN:UUID or URN:ISAN). Status: mandatory Value The value of the identifier excluding any references to an identifier scheme. Numeric A numeric representation of the identifier value, to be used for identity comparison if the value is a single natural number and can have more than one lexical representation (e.g. "00027" vs. "27"). The default number base is decimal; hexadecimal and octal representations are permitted if formatted as an integer literal according to the syntax of ISO/IEC 14882:2003 given in 2.13.1. Note that the numeric attribute is not required for the urn:uuid of RFC 4122 or urn:ISAN namespaces, since all valid representations of these namespaces can be converted to any number base for identity comparison. Status: optional 6.2 Record source 6.2.1 General A reference to the archive or other organisation supplying the record.
Cardinality: one or more for Cinematographic Work, zero or more for Variant, Manifestation and Item 6.2.2 Attributes None 6.2.3 Elements Source name SIST EN 15907:2010

Cardinality: zero or more 6.3 Title 6.3.1 General A word, phrase, character, or group of characters, naming the work, a group of works, a particular variant or manifestation, or an individual item. Depending on the cataloguing rules in use, titles may be determined from the item itself, or from any suitable secondary source. Cardinality: one or more for Cinematographic Work, zero or more for Variant, Manifestation and Item 6.3.2 Attributes None 6.3.3 Elements Title text The textual expression of the title. May contain a mark indicating the end of so-called non-filing characters (e.g. after an initial article). These marks should be preserved so that users may decide if and how these characters will be processed. Cardinality: one Part designation A combination of the name of a structuring unit and the count value that identifies the current work as an individual part of a complex work. For complex works with multi-level numberings (e.g. "season 3, episode 12"), an instance of this element should be created for each level. Non-numeric values such as letter symbols (e.g. "part B") or calendar dates (e.g. "August 1965 issue") are permitted. Cardinality: zero or more Elements Unit The name of the unit that this work represents within a series, serial, or multi-part work (e.g. "part", "episode", "issue", etc). Cardinality: one Value An ordinal number, numeration symbol, or date value that identifies the individual work within the complex work. SIST EN 15907:2010

one or more for Cinematographic Work 6.5.2 Attributes reference
The relationship between the country or geographic area and the cinematographic work. Defaults to "production", i.e. use of this attribute is only required if the geographic location is different from the country of production. Status: optional 6.5.3 Elements Country A country code. Cardinality: one or more. Type: Region - defined in 7.2. 6.6 Year of reference 6.6.1 General A year associated with an event in the life cycle of the cinematographic work, typically associated with its creation, availability or registration (for example for copyright purposes). A typical use of this element is chronological ordering of lists of cinematographic works. The year of reference is expressed as a four digit value, optionally followed by a dash (Unicode value 002Dhex) and another year to denote a span of years. Cardinality: one or more for Cinematographic work 6.6.2 Attributes reference A name for the event the Year refers to. If omitted, Year will be interpreted as the production year. Status: optional 6.6.3 Elements None SIST EN 15907:2010

Method SIST EN 15907:2010
Cardinality: zero or one 6.8 Extent 6.8.1 General The total physical, logical or temporal extent of the manifestation of a cinematographic work, or of the item from a manifestation. Physical extent is the total length of the medium carrying the manifestation or item. Logical extent is the number of discrete units, e.g. image frames, bytes (octets), etc., of which the manifestation or item is composed. Temporal extent is the running time under normal or specific playback conditions (e.g. a specific frame rate). Cardinality: zero or more for Manifestation and Item 6.8.2 Attributes unit Name of the measurement unit (usually "ft." or "m" for physical extents, "frames" or "bytes" for logical extents, "min:s" for temporal extents). Status: mandatory reference If the manifestation or item is composed of more than one physical carrier for which individual lengths are known, then this attribute should be used to refer the length information to a particular carrier (e.g. "reel 3"). Status: optional frameRate SIST EN 15907:2010
