CPB today announces the launch of the PBCore 2.0 Development Project
(Washington, DC) - - The Corporation for Public Broadcasting today announced the launch of the PBCore 2.0 Development Project.
The PBCore 2.0 Development Project will expand the existing PBCore metadata standard to increase the ability, on one hand, of content producers and distributors using digital media to classify and describe public media content (audio and video) and, on the other, of audiences to find public media content on a variety of digital media and mobile platforms.
The PBCore 2.0 Development Project will also work to enhance the PBCore standard to ensure that it will be able to satisfy the demands of multiplatform digital content as well as an evolving World Wide Web. Since PBCore's development in 2005, it has become not only one of the most widely-used metadata standards in the world, but also the basis of other metadata standards. At the same time, in the last five years, the number of digital media applications that would benefit from PBCore has grown significantly. An updated PBCore will benefit not only public broadcasters, but all users of metadata standards based on PBCore.
PBCore 2.0 will be managed by WGBH, AudioVisual Preservation Solutions and Digital Dawn. More information on the PBCore 2.0 Development Project will be available at http://www.pbcore.org starting in mid-April.

I went to pbscore.org looking for more information and don’t see it. Am I missing something?

The pbcore.org site was down for a day or three due to a DNS forwarding error, according to the site admin. It’s back up now. Meanwhile, I know that the PBCore team at WGBH is building a new one, but I don’t know the expected launch date.
