Preparations related to standardization in the NAVA project

BERKE Barnabásné

In December 2001 an analysis was prepared for the NAVA project (National Audiovisual Archive) with respect to international standards, rules, and normative documents regarding the registration, and processing audiovisual documents. Among others the following can be found among the proposals made in connection with Hungarian regulations: Hungarian translation of the Dublin Core, the adaptation of the ISAN standard, the compilation of authority files, and the application of a subject heading list.

By the Summer of 2002 a working group has prepared the draft entitled „Rules of assigning metadata to documents archived in NAVA“ that serves as the bases of the detailed regulations of bibliographic descriptions, and making entries. Some characteristic, and significant notions used in the field are presented by the author in Hungarian and English, and their definitions are given. The table of metadata is included in which data elements equivalent with the Dublin Core can be found in Hungarian and English with definitions and scope notes, and the indication of the mandatory/optional and repetition possibilities of data elements.

The study summaries the draft regulations briefly that deal with the subject of the object data refer to, describes the relationship between documents, defines the sources of descriptive data, the language and script of data. In the regulatory part rules regarding the sources, and selection of data belonging to the group of metadata are given, and illustrated by examples. A proposed search window and the display of hits in the NAVA database are also shown.
