Information on the news story
Description content (who, what, where, when, …)
Administrative information (reporter, cameraman, …)
Rights information (usage terms, copyright statement, …)
Technical information (video format, audio format, …)

- 6. NewsML-G2
International (industrial) standard approved by IPTC
(shortened) Timeline
1997: NITF
2000: NewsML 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 (too complicated and ineffective)
2008: NewsML-G2
Objectives NewsML-G2:
Interoperability between providers and consumers
Extensibility
Clarity and compactness of the syntax
Ease of storage
Ease of processing for relational or object mapping
New focus on “semantic” capabilities (Web 2.0 ready)

- 11. Automatic News Production
Now @ VRT:
Classical broadcast: linear, 5 broadcasts a day
On-demand (“ooit gemist”): replay of the linear broadcasts
Web (“deredactie.be”): news clips, continuous updates
Linear broadcasts have a rigid structure
E.g., 19h news
– Max 20 news items
– Max 40 minutes
More content available than broadcasted
News feeds (EBU/Eurovision, Reuters, …)
Produced items never or only a few times broadcasted

- 12. Goals
Enable a news consumer to compose his own news programme
Select only the news categories he is interested in
– e.g., national weather, international business, …
Sort the news categories according to his personal relevance
– e.g., first sport, then business, then politics
Specify the maximum duration of the news
– e.g., his commuting time is 30 minutes, so 30 minutes of
news
Let him choose to receive unedited (“raw”) news materials/feeds
– e.g., every news items about science & technology
Let him watch the news items offline
– e.g., play his news on a mobile device, such as iPod Touch
Without interfering with current news production processes

- 21. Final remarks
By intelligently processing the available metadata
automatic personalized news bulletin generation is feasible
However, some “gaps”
IPR management (now: free text – no automatic usage approval)
category assignment for VRT news items
item versioning (linking items)
Tools might solve some of these gaps
