General Considerations

  1. Pre-EMu multimedia checklist

    • Do you have the media/files already? (Or are you about to create them?)
    • Why is/was the media generated?
      • Create an Event record to document the purpose of the imaging/media project. This should document who generated the media, when, permits & funding, and associated catalog/event/other records, if any.
      • e.g. - How to document a Research Project in EMu
    • Does it belong to the Field Museum? Can we use & archive it?
      • Permissions should be obtained using the Field Museum Media Agreement [draft] if no other contract/license otherwise exists for Multimedia generated for a Field Museum project.
      • For related workflows, see erights module documentation
    • What type of file is it?
      • See Standard formats
      • Check for the relevant emultimedia workflow/s on this page
    • What does its filename look like?
    • How big is it?
    • Once it’s in EMu, what do you need to do with it?
      • e.g., Do you need to serve/publish it online somewhere else?
  2. Four required Audiovisual Core terms

    • AudIdentifier (dcterms:identifier) [defaults to multimedia GUID]
    • DetResourceType (dc:type) [EMu/Resource Type needs to use the DCMI controlled vocab]
    • DetMediaRightsRef (dc:rights) [we need to check defaults + existing mm records]
    • DetLanguage (ac:metadataLanguageLiteral) [“English” - default for now]
