New Metadata Guidelines and METS Profile for Video Published by the Human Rights Documentation Initiative

The University of Texas Human Rights Documentation Initiative has just released Version 1.0 of the “Human Rights Documentation Initiative Metadata Guidelines for Video” (HRDI-MGV) and registered a new UTVideo METS Profile with the Library of Congress.  These new documents are designed to increase consistency within local descriptive metadata practices for video and define the standards and components necessary to build a METS package for born-digital video collected through the HRDI partners.  More information on the HRDI and the metadata guidelines are available on the HRDI Blog. Questions can be addressed to Amy Rushing, Head Librarian of Digital Access Services at the University of Texas Libraries.
