Data use


- To answer the respective needs of both documentary activities in the same production and retrieve tool

- To allow a better interoperability with others sources or collections

- To import and describe non broadcast audiovisual resources

- To be able to adapt our documentary practices to new audiovisual objects

The new model is currently elaborated by the project team and IT architects.

In the respect of legal constraints, new uses of our data could emerge :

- elaboration of a policy of open data (on data generated at Ina) to develop secondary uses by media specialists

New information system, new prospects

- linked data : audiovisual works on Victor Hugo linked to Victor Hugo’s literary works archived at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (French national Library) ?


The changing role of archivists

At Ina, the integration of external metadata caused many changes in documentary procedures during the last 10 years.New challenges to come with the big data policy and the development of semi automatic description :

guarantee the quality of the metadata ensure consistency of data in relation with uses use the very good knowledge of the collections :

• to structure even more than before massive amount of data

• to work at developping new enhancement practices

• to accompany the audience in its researches among more and more data
