Audiovisual Archives: Assemble, classify, maintain and distribute analog and digital files. In particular, emphasis is placed on cataloging audiovisual media and multimedia using metadata description templates such as audioMD and videoMD formats. It also analyzes all the ISAAN files, which are the AACS, DCI, MPEG, DVB, and ATSC standards. Also presented is the DICOM medical image model. Finally, the methodology for classifying analogue audiovisual files through the IASA Cataloguing Rules is analyzed and described using ERT's audiovisual record as a case study.

This course is a general introduction to the necessity, logic and basic audio coding tools to be able to be registered, managed and exploited by computer systems. Special emphasis is given to the international coding standards and the capabilities it provides in terms of interoperability of systems and data.

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to understand and handle audiovisual archives in an information environment.
