The project discussed in the previous data modeling exercise resulted in the existence of multiple copies of each
digitized film:
- Original 16mm film reel
- 16mm projection print
- VHS tape
- Digital access copy created from VHS
- Digital preservation master created from film scan
Assignment
1. Choose one of the PBCore spreadsheet templates and create an inventory of the assets in the Home Movies
collection, using the data available in the Smithsonian’s records
2. Using the PBCore Cataloging Tool, create a PBCore Asset record for a single film, including all instantiations
3. (If time allows) Create a document mapping the Smithsonian’s data fields to PBCore
