Article category: Fun with PBCore
Making PBCore End User Friendly
Two screencast were recently added to Blip.tv that show how the Open Media Project’s Drupal modules make PBCore easier for end users. Craig Sinclair from Amherst Community Media created a screencast that shows how to configure the PBCore module for Drupal to display customized elements in a hierarchy to users. I added another screencast that shows how to add PBCore to any content type with CCK and how to use some simple javascript to limit the number of options show to users.
Sites using the current beta of the module can now export a node as XML as well as dump of their site specific configurations making it easier to compare how organizations are implementing PBCore in practice.
The PBCore module for Drupal is still rough around the edges, but the structure is now there for anyone with even basic PHP skills to contribute.

I'm a big nerd. I spent the last hour making wordles out of the pbcore elements. Its for a slideshow I'm putting together. It was so much fun to see the elements in colorful wordcloud form, that I just kept making them.
The biggest font are the mandatory elements, medium font are recommended elements, and small font are optional elements. I didn't include the essenceTrack sub-elements, but everything else should be there. Feel free to use these, or make your own at http://www.wordle.net.
