>The Cornell Institute for Digital Collections (CIDC) is seeking information
>on the current state of metadata for performances of plays (which must
>necessarily be captured on film). (CIDC) has been approached by a faculty
>member seeking help to develop a multimedia, multilingual, performing arts
>digital archive. Ideally the database would link performances of drama to
>the original text, reference sources, and related databases of costumes,
>recordings, and other information stored both locally and in other
>institutions.
>
>The proposed project would have a much greater chance of success if it were
>designed around an existing metadata standard for the performing arts. Do
>any of the readers of this list know of efforts to identify and standardize
>the metadata needed for a performing arts archive?
